If We had a College Football Playoff - Quarterfinal Results - Saturday Afternoon

VIRGINIA TECH VS FLORIDA @ MIAMI FLORIDA - SITE OF THE ORANGE BOWL

Chris Rainey ran for 107 yards as Florida downed Virginia Tech 27-9 at LandShark Stadium to advance to the Semifinals. The Gators defense kept Tech out of the end zone limiting the Hokies to 10 first downs. Virginia Tech stayed close at 7-6 at the end of the first quarter. But Rainey capped a Gator drive with an 18-yard run to put the Gators up 14-6 and in control. The Florida offense controlled things with a running game that the Hokies couldn't stop. Florida ran for 392 yards for the contest. Jeffery Demps had 87 yards and Emmanuel Moody ran for 77 yards. All scored touchdowns in the victory. Florida moves onto the Final Four and will leave Florida for the first time in the tournament when it faces Texas or West Virginia in Pasadena next weekend.

About theMountFanBlog

The Mount FanBlog is hosted by Ryan Raffensperger, a sports fan of all types and a Mount Basketball fan forever.

Raffensperger has loved the Mount as long as he can remember, which basically means 1981 - and remembers the true #GloryDays of Memorial Gym. He remembers the players from those days to the athletes who play at Knott Arena today. And if it's a #MountMayhem day, it's going to be a good day.

He holds a Syracuse University degree in broadcast journalism. He has broadcast high school, college & minor league levels of all sports in his past and regularly covered high school football for his hometown paper. So the blog does make a little sense.

Raffensperger worked professionally as a CPA for many years, but the chronic inflammatory immune disease Sarcoidosis made it impossible to continue that in a manner he found acceptable. Since then, he has spent more time around the Mount St. Mary's basketball program and values Coach Dan Englestad, his staff, and the players' impact on him. The blog was much more active, but the advent of Twitter (follow @themountfanblog) has made writing a little less important. But he hopes that the balance swings back in favor of more traditional content soon.
