ESPN has struck on something brilliant: as part of their BCS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP MEGACAST, they have a bunch of coaches and analysts watching the game on ESPNews and just talking from a coaching viewpoint.
Analysts on ESPNews unanimously call FSU’s key fake punt
If only one of these dudes was coaching Auburn. (Actually, Gus Malzahn ain’t doin’ too bad.)

As Florida State lined up for a fourth-and-4 from its own 40 late in the first half, all of them -- Kevin Sumlin, Paul Chryst and Steve Addazio, plus analysts Matt Millen, Chris Spielman and Tom Luginbill -- ALL called FSU going for a fake punt. (Video via Coaching Search.)
They did:
Karlos Williams picked up 7 yards, the ‘Noles would march down the field and score, and a 21-3 game turned into a 21-10 game that was modestly interesting.
Gus Malzahn’s coached a pretty incredible game, but the dudes in the booth were a step ahead of him on this one.
