Boston College pulls off insane ‘Ring Around the Rosie’ trick play for touchdown
Boston College used a playful, unusual formation to score a go-ahead touchdown against Florida State, creating a memorable moment in its ACC game. The Eagles later lost 31-24, so the trick play could not prevent their second consecutive defeat.
With four minutes left in the third quarter, quarterback Mason McKenzie flipped a two-yard pass to Javarius Green for a 24-21 lead. All 11 players circled in the huddle, and five offensive linemen lined up far to the left as McKenzie rolled right. Florida State scored 10 points in the fourth quarter to win and improve to 4-5 overall; Boston College also fell to 4-5. The play was memorable, though less consequential than BC’s famed 1984 Hail Mary against Miami.
In short
- Boston College’s unusual trick play put it ahead 24-21.
- Florida State scored 10 fourth-quarter points to win 31-24.
- Both teams stood at 4-5 overall after the game.
