EA Sports Virtual Playoff Simulation - Capital One Bowl

#1 Ohio State 20 - #12 Arizona State 10
This game was much closer than the score made it appear to be.  Arizona State scored 
a touchdown on their opening drive and controlled the game for the entire first half.  
The Bucks added three field goals in the first half taking the score to a 
ASU 10 – OSU 9 halftime score. In what would have been a monumental upset, ASU led 
the game until with three minutes and thirty-six seconds left in the 4th quarter 
Todd Boeckman, Ohio State junior quarterback, hooked up with Brian Hartline for a 
41 yard touchdown pass, a Pontiac Game-Changing Performance play. On Arizona 
State’s last possession of the game they drove the ball down into OSU territory, but 
were forced into a fourth down play and could not convert. Upon getting the ball 
back, Chris “Beanie” Wells added a dagger in the hearts of Sun Devils fans everywhere
