Summary
Second-and-goal in the third quarter, Boston College used a spinning "Ring-Around-the-Rosie" huddle and an underhand flip from Mason McKenzie to Javarius Green for a touchdown.
The trick play gave the Eagles a 24-21 lead after Florida State had been ahead 21-17, with the unusual alignment and fake appearing to catch both the defense and camera off guard.
Florida State answered with 10 fourth-quarter points to win 31-24, turning the highlight into a footnote in Rick Stockstill's debut as interim coach.
The result extended the Seminoles' rebound after Mike Norvell's firing, while Boston College's movie-inspired score became the game's most memorable sequence.
