I was an FSU student who was surrounded by a bunch of Florida fans at this game. They made my first three quarters a living hell. Got REALLY quiet in that fourth though.
As a die hard Gator fan I will never forget this game. Hard to watch. Always loved this rivalry though. I was never a Seminole fan but I was always a Bobby Bowden fan.
You make the rivalry fun. Thank you, we have both suffered over the years lol but my respect for UF is high but I'm a Nole since the '60's...yes, old dude but this is the best rivalry in college football. This game was incredible. The talent on that field was simply amazing.
Can we all just appreciate that the fans still stayed despite a 31-3 lead in the 4th. You just don't see that anymore with teams walking out of the game when losing by 10 or 17 in the 4th
Im the dummy that thought, Oh.. there is still a keg of beer waiting back at the house... Let's leave and start drinking again. (No alcohol at Doak) Walking out of the stadium we heard the roar of the first touchdown. No Re-Entry. Biggest Bone head decision to that point (there have been others). We ran to the nearest tv (along with what seemed like a hundred others) and watched the rest of the game.
@@MARKLEJ You ever need to get back inside a stadium or arena, just lie to the folks working the gate that you had to run back to the car to grab medicine. Works for me everytime without even a moment of hesitation from the workers. They are making too little to care about letting you back in. Give them a reason to do so
I was at that game and I remember how the excitement built through that fourth quarter. After the first touchdown, it was like well we won't get beat so bad. After the second touchdown, it was like this is possible and the crowd started to come alive. After the third touchdown, it was probably the most electric I've ever seen a crowd at a game and I've been to almost every FSU home game since I've been alive. And when they tied it, it was the greatest tie in the history of football.
+Brad Stikeleather . I knew that it wasn't until mid 2000's it be came a rule, yes. I did not, however, realize how often they occured before the enforcement of the rule.
They don't typically injure the neck. Usually the knees or ankles. Often times during a horse collar tackle the defender rolls up on the ball carrier's legs while holding their upper body up.. which leads to some awkward bending of the lower body.
I had a party at my house for this game there was 4 Florida fans there when we scored the final touchdown I was outside watching on my TV and my wife came screaming running right into the sliding glass door and almost knocked her self out. It was one of the greatest party's I ever had. I will never forget that game.
+garland coleman You don't even capitalize your name. GOSH DARN I JUS GES U ""R"" SOH ""STOOPID"" NOW HUH? Stop trying to fix garland +Brad Stikeleather, you cant fix them :(
+TrueEaglesFan I think they thought the way their defense and offense were playing, they'd get the ball back and win it. If they'd gone for two and missed it, it would have let the pressure off the other team. It almost worked...they were 15-20 yards from field goal range when they ran out of time.
I dont believe that loss was as painful as you make it out to be. Considering the rematch was for the National championship 3 weeks later. Do you remember what the final score of that was????
I was in the stands with 3 Gator friends, it was far from anti climatic my young friends. 5 weeks later we played the 5th Quarter in the French Quarter at the Sugar Bowl, 23-17 WOO HOO! GO NOLES!
Thank you very much for having this game. I have been looking for over 20 years for this game, and I finally found it. I remember I was a young man working at a rental car agency, and the game was on at the shop I was at while waiting for 4 new tires to be put on a car. I watched the whole 4th quarter, and this single game made me become a big college football fan. I never got into college football, just the NFL, but after that game I was hooked, and still am.
This was one of my greatest memories. We had a big party for this game with friends that were gators i kept telling them it's not over my noles would come back. My wife got so excited at the end she ran face first into a sliding glass door. What a great time !!!

@@ronaldtaylor2006 yes, it was necessary, and you're one of them by way of your "they created overtime so someone could win" comment. Inference: so someone can lose, as well. If it so important for someone to win (vs a tie), then tell the coaches and players to try harder, play better, be smarter & tougher, and score more points in regulation. Or in the alternative, have the NCAA call up one of the head coaches and tell him to lose on purpose in regulation. If ending in a tie is so abhorrent to everyone's pee brain. What would be the diff between that vs losing in that stupid "isn't football" overtime crap they do. Which basically comes down to luck, or who screwed up, to determine who loses. But since you are incapable of comprehending a tie, then there is no point in even saying anything. Just keep drinking the Kool-Aid, and be sure to keep your mask on while you're doing it. I'm sure all the powers to be will take care of all your necessities over your entire life.
@@aspenrebel accept the truth of overtime saying people have pee brains is dumb calling them an idiot wasn’t necessary you just need to accept the truth that overtime exists but you think what you wanna think and let other people think what they wanna think because I think overtime was a decent idea in college but you calling people an idiot is ignorant and stupid when they did nothing to you
has someone already acknowledged that amazing punt? I've never seen anything like it. He managed to kick the ball even with that crap snap and defenders rushing him.. Whatta boss.
Yea I thought the same thing - that was probably the most amazing punt in college football history - he had at least 4 defenders around him and manage to juke a couple and get it off... pretty unreal.
Mich St fans would disagree, but I guess in their case it was more of a punt attempt & not an actual punt. 2015 MSU vs UM. final play of the game. epic.
My brother and I were at a sports bar in Jacksonville watching this. All the Noles fans left early thinking it was over. We stayed and watched in horror!
I was pregnant and watching this at home, and spent 3 quarters pissed off… then the fourth quarter happened. My huge 6 months pregnant behind kept jumping up and down, and my husband kept fussing at me to sit down. I still say this is my favorite FSU game ever. I was in Jax too watching this….
It was never anticlimactic. I was in the end-zone in the 2nd half right above the exit, FSU is my alma mater :) It was one of the most incredible finishes I've ever witnessed. That same day, one of the ESPN announcers said on Sportscenter, "FSU wins 31-31 in the greatest comeback in NCAA history." Yes they said "wins" on a tie. You had to be in the stands watching the smugness and UF fans taunting us for 3 quarters to appreciate what happened that day. Glad we have OT now.
I know know what you mean. If it went to OT then they would of won. They took the soul from the Gators. Still sucks seeing tie. Glad there are overtimes now
@@TheWakeup011 Two more years.......they'd win it all by smashing FSU in 96 title game. Yes, FSU won the regular season game, but the Gators rolled over the Noles when it counted that year.
@@TheWakeup011 Yea, they really ascended..like when Fla lost to Nebraska 62-24 in the '96 Fiesta Bowl. Worst big game performance in Championship game history. How come people don't talk about this anymore? What an absolute annihilation and total embarrassment for the most obnoxious fans in sports. Chomp that douchebag Gator fans.
Florida State was already out of contention to repeat as National Champs that year because they already had two losses. The Gators had one. By playing for a tie, the Seminoles made sure the Gators were out of any National Championship discussion. I agree about the overtime and the fact OT was played in New Orleans with FSU on top.
Became a FSU/ college football fan back in 93 watching Charlie Ward win the Heisman. He had it all. Imagine if NFL teams weren't looking for the prototypical pocket passer, he would've excelled in the NFL, had a HOF career if he got the opportunity. Anyway.. I remember watching this game live, the comeback was amazing. The tie was a letdown but ultimately a great game.
+Mollie Grove Haha, that was a good one. I get it. I listen to Slayer, so that means I worship the devil. That's a new one. Nice guess, but I'm an atheist. And the 8th grade's going well, thank you.
Brent did a wonderful job building the suspense in the 4th quarter with his call. What a comeback. I was 10 and a bummed out young boy but my dad told me it's never over until it's over... So we kept watching and I'm glad we did!
I was there. On the field. Got to meet Rick Flair. In q4 stood in the end zone where all the Noles td’s were scored. It was deafening. It was amazing. It was a memory of a life time. #gonoles
The best part of this is that the crowd was still full, packed and excited.. You'd think a 31-3 4th quarter leave would mean the stadium would be only half full...
Nothing feels better than a comeback. My most memorable wrestling match...I was down 4 to 12 at the end of the second period in an international match. (I wasn't used to the International Freestyle vs U.S. Collegiate point system) I won 16 to 14. I shut the crowd up big time. Damn, it felt good.
It's still a comeback and also eagles was impressive but I like this more, had to comeback from more points than that game also considering it's our rival as well
The people complaining about how disappointed they are and how anticlimactic this game was must not watch football. One of the greatest rivalries in football two teams in their prime. Down 31-3 in the 4th quarter to tie the game is nothing short of a miracle. GO NOLES
Four years ago...Lol! My neighbor was Clyde Allen. His son and mine went to school together. I got to put on his 1993 National Championship ring. GO NOLES!!!
@Paul Revere Is this an appropriate forum for anti Semitic commentary. Why don't you go to some al Jazeera type site instead. And I'm not Jewish but I am prejudiced toward racist assholes.
God I can’t imagine what the stadium must’ve been like in the student section. I went to the UNC game this year and wins were far and few between, but man that upset, the student section was something else the entire game
I'm too young to have seen this live. I'm a lifelong Gator fan and I had always heard the name "Choke at Doak" but never took the time to look it up. What an insane rally. I'm glad they don't end in ties anymore. I wish the Noles were still this prominent. I'm tired of hearing about Georgia. But with OU and Texas joining the SEC now, who knows what's going to happen.
I remember that game like it was yesterday . There defense in the 4th was just fly all over the place. I was in the stands half way up and could hear the hits way up there. Could you imagine if they had microphones down on the field like they do now. Great game by both.
That was an awesome game. As a Florida State fan I was feeling mighty disheartened after 3 periods, but I said, "Well, let's see if they can at least make the final score more respectable." They did that and then some! Had to watch on TV. I did see the Miracle at Memorial in person, where Cal trailed Oregon 30-0 late in the 2nd quarter and rallied to win 42-41.
If you watch this and get disappointed cause it ended in a tie... Appreciate the greatness that was on that field, the insanity to comeback in 12 minutes. Just realize there wasn't overtime yet. These were the golden ages of College football
Or on the interception where he threw his helmet off and ran up the field taking half the football team with him from the sideline that would have been a unsportsmanlike delay-of-game 15-yard penalty I seen so many things that today would be called
Fuck horse collars, you’d feel different having your leg snapped in half. I miss everything else about old football besides horse collars. They can keep that shit. It fucking hurts.
I remember sitting in one of the Indian Village apartments during the game laid up with a broken ankle. It was fantastic hearing the roar from the stadium then a second or two later watching the play on the TV.
Clyde Allen was my neighbor. Great guy. Went to the 2013 reunion game with him. Sitting in the stands surrounded by and talking to the heroes of that 1993 team with my son was one of the greatest experiences! Getting to watch the Noles with Winston and Benjamin, and Dalvin Cook while sitting with the former Champs from 93 wasn't bad either. I remember Winston taking off and throwing a block for Cook 25 yards down field that sprung Cook for the TD. One of the players in the stands from the 93 team said, "That was a hiesman move right there" Prescient...GO NOLES!!! FOR LIFE!!!
Crazy that this comeback happened on the same day as the John Tyler vs. Plano East game in Cowboys Stadium.. that was the greatest ending to a game ever!
5:17-5:20 the Head Ball Coach furiously chewing; Bobby Bowden, black aviators and all, looking cool as a pool in a blizzard. With ice cubes in it...during December
I never fully appreciated the work of the offensive line till today. They bought the quaterback to much time and no stress. The announcer was right, the defense really stepped it up after 2 TD's
Yeah, cuz nowadays they don't let them play football. All they want them to play is pattycake. They may as well all be running around in pink polka dotted dresses, playing no contact, no tackle flag football. Pathetic, Refs calling penalties every other play for every stupid little thing. You look at guy, brush up to him and they throw a flag .. INTERFERENCE!! So teams gets a 40 yard first down for doing nothing. So that's what you like? That's what you call football? What a moron!! Now you can't even touch the QB or you get a penalty. How many times have I seen defenders NOT want to hit the QB for fear of a penalty, then QB runs for a big gain.
TRUE STORY: I was in Grad School and teaching at FSU when this happened. I lived a few hours away, and disgustedly got in my car at the end of the third quarter. When I got to Tallahassee that evening, I was amazed to find that everyone was partying their asses off.
This was the last game I ever saw in person before my family up and left Tallahassee for good and moved all the way across the country to Seattle, Wa where we and I have lived since and never looked back. But goddamn if this game in particular doesn't resonate with me on the good ole' years of the Bobby Bowden era. From 1982 to 1994 I saw more games @ Doak Campbell then I can count, some amazing wins and some heartbreaking losses but never in my life will I EVER forget this game. But now that I live in Seattle and am a proud graduate of U of W there is no team in this country I will root for harder than my Huskies, FSU gave me some great memories as a child but my loyalty now lies with the Dawg Pound. Nevertheless this game will live in infamy for the Florida Gators and their despicable fan base of years gone by. Choke on that you central Florida fuckers!!!
Yes, FSU fans were intolerable before the Gators started winning. YOU JUST WERE GETTING THE TAUNTING BACK IN SPADES. And since Booby, retired, I haven't seen many FSU fans...😂🤣😂
what a freaking game this was!!! The worst thing is I was at this game but left at halftime since I figured FSU was out of it...DAMN!! I'm a BAMA grad but grew up an FSU fan
I was at this game. A lot of you may not understand why FSU people were excited about this game. We were down 31-3. As you could hear from the announcer boy, people had pretty much given up on us. We fought back and scored 28 unanswered TDs to tie it. They say that Bowden was weak for choosing to kick the PAT after the 4th TD, but this team was on a roll. Along with a lot of us at the game, he expected another score by Kannell. This tie felt a lot like a win, because it took a win away from the hated gators.Sure, it would have been great to win, but we did not/NOT leave with a loss.
I forgot about this game. Had FSU won I wouldn't have felt so bad about my Tigers losing the way they did in the BCS. FSU has been so damn good for so long. Why don't they have a better rep than Bama?
Colton Burton I guess, but Bama has had some down years. I can see that argument though. Haven't you all made a bowl every year for something like 30 plus years? I know bowl eligible doesn't mean what it used to, but no other school has that rep.
Yea Fsu was just avg from like 2003-2009..but there still ranked in the top 10 in best college football program alltime along with the other Florida schools UF and The U but we don't care about them lol although our state has 11 or 12 college football championships under our belts..Go Noles
Husky fan here in Seattle, FSU vs U. of Florida was always a must watch College football game every year. That rivalry is as good as it gets. Texas vs Oklahoma, USC Notre Dame, Ohio State vs Michigan All up there too ( I’m sure I forgot a few )
As a Vol fan who lamented all the losses to Florida in the 90s and the rivalry they created, I don't think anything tops the decade long war between FSU and Florida. Their games in the 90s were peak competition.
Classic game!! Zack Crockett with the monster block for Rock was straight up man on man football… He cleared out 2 gaytors on that play… Lot of great FB’s lot great players altogether
I was an FSU student who was surrounded by a bunch of Florida fans at this game. They made my first three quarters a living hell. Got REALLY quiet in that fourth though.

Even back then, 28 points in under 11 minutes of game time is very impressive.
Uh especially then. Teams didn’t score like they do now
That's because they had leather helmets and wool jerseys.
Yeah but Eagles did it in 2010 with 8 minutes to play at a higher level
Houston vs Pittsburgh 2016 Armed Forces Bowl. Houston scored 4 touchdowns in under 7 minutes to win.

Yeah, who cares about unnecessary neck injuries. Psssh.
They don't typically injure the neck. Usually the knees or ankles. Often times during a horse collar tackle the defender rolls up on the ball carrier's legs while holding their upper body up.. which leads to some awkward bending of the lower body.

What would be the diff between that vs losing in that stupid "isn't football" overtime crap they do. Which basically comes down to luck, or who screwed up, to determine who loses. But since you are incapable of comprehending a tie, then there is no point in even saying anything. Just keep drinking the Kool-Aid, and be sure to keep your mask on while you're doing it. I'm sure all the powers to be will take care of all your necessities over your entire life.
@@aspenrebel accept the truth of overtime saying people have pee brains is dumb calling them an idiot wasn’t necessary you just need to accept the truth that overtime exists but you think what you wanna think and let other people think what they wanna think because I think overtime was a decent idea in college but you calling people an idiot is ignorant and stupid when they did nothing to you
@@ronaldtaylor2006 yes I will think what I want to think not what others tell me to think.
has someone already acknowledged that amazing punt? I've never seen anything like it. He managed to kick the ball even with that crap snap and defenders rushing him.. Whatta boss.
Yea I thought the same thing - that was probably the most amazing punt in college football history - he had at least 4 defenders around him and manage to juke a couple and get it off... pretty unreal.
If you like that watch Australian Rules Football (not rugby)
Mich St fans would disagree, but I guess in their case it was more of a punt attempt & not an actual punt. 2015 MSU vs UM. final play of the game. epic.
@@jky3889 Great point.
There had to be about 5 illegal men downfield on that play lol. Linemen can't be more than 5 yards downfield before the ball is punted.
My brother and I were at a sports bar in Jacksonville watching this. All the Noles fans left early thinking it was over. We stayed and watched in horror!
I was pregnant and watching this at home, and spent 3 quarters pissed off… then the fourth quarter happened. My huge 6 months pregnant behind kept jumping up and down, and my husband kept fussing at me to sit down. I still say this is my favorite FSU game ever. I was in Jax too watching this….
Best ball game ever! Thanks for posting! I was at the stadium that day and forgot to set my VCR before leaving home! #GoNoles!
I was there too! #GoNoles !
Better than my sister and her husband...
...they left after the 3rd quarter!!!
It was never anticlimactic. I was in the end-zone in the 2nd half right above the exit, FSU is my alma mater :) It was one of the most incredible finishes I've ever witnessed. That same day, one of the ESPN announcers said on Sportscenter, "FSU wins 31-31 in the greatest comeback in NCAA history." Yes they said "wins" on a tie. You had to be in the stands watching the smugness and UF fans taunting us for 3 quarters to appreciate what happened that day. Glad we have OT now.
I was in Bullwinkle's and it was crazy! Beat them later to top it off. Miss those days when everyone feared the Spear!
Florida ascension would have to wait another year. They really should have won this game.
I know know what you mean. If it went to OT then they would of won. They took the soul from the Gators. Still sucks seeing tie. Glad there are overtimes now
@@TheWakeup011 Two more years.......they'd win it all by smashing FSU in 96 title game. Yes, FSU won the regular season game, but the Gators rolled over the Noles when it counted that year.
@@TheWakeup011 Yea, they really ascended..like when Fla lost to Nebraska 62-24 in the '96 Fiesta Bowl. Worst big game performance in Championship game history. How come people don't talk about this anymore? What an absolute annihilation and total embarrassment for the most obnoxious fans in sports. Chomp that douchebag Gator fans.
I still remember ABC using the same crew for the Sugar Bowl. The broadcast started out with: "Welcome to Overtime."
Watching all of this just for a tie. What a middle finger
lollll right? i was expecting overtime sucks they didnt have it back then
They played the overtime on Jan 2 in New Orleans.
Florida State was already out of contention to repeat as National Champs that year because they already had two losses. The Gators had one. By playing for a tie, the Seminoles made sure the Gators were out of any National Championship discussion. I agree about the overtime and the fact OT was played in New Orleans with FSU on top.
tie might as well be a victory down 28 in the 4th lol
Bowden didn’t want to go for two because he didn’t want his team to get that close to winning and lose.
Became a FSU/ college football fan back in 93 watching Charlie Ward win the Heisman. He had it all. Imagine if NFL teams weren't looking for the prototypical pocket passer, he would've excelled in the NFL, had a HOF career if he got the opportunity. Anyway.. I remember watching this game live, the comeback was amazing. The tie was a letdown but ultimately a great game.
Oh. It ended in a tie. Well that was anticlimactic.
Yes...it was.
+Mollie Grove Haha, that was a good one. I get it. I listen to Slayer, so that means I worship the devil. That's a new one. Nice guess, but I'm an atheist. And the 8th grade's going well, thank you.
THey didn't have OT back then
agreed
I was thinking, wow, they're going to win it on a 65 yd field goal...........
Brent did a wonderful job building the suspense in the 4th quarter with his call. What a comeback.
I was 10 and a bummed out young boy but my dad told me it's never over until it's over... So we kept watching and I'm glad we did!
Amazing call by Musberger, absolutely
Brent Musberger. One of the best to ever call college football.
I was there.
On the field.
Got to meet Rick Flair.
In q4 stood in the end zone where all the Noles td’s were scored.
It was deafening.
It was amazing.
It was a memory of a life time.
#gonoles
Should have gone for 2.
RIP Bobby Bowden. LEGEND!
This shows why Coach Bowden is LEGENDARY
I watched the game live, and I have seen this video 100 times. I shed a tear just now.
this was when you go out there and beat the living hell out of each other.
This was one of the best games I ever seen... I'll never forget this one!
Nah!! Best game ever .... BC vs Miami .. The Flutie Pass!!! BC beat Miami.
@@aspenrebel hell no
best game ever was the 2014 BCS Natty
The best part of this is that the crowd was still full, packed and excited.. You'd think a 31-3 4th quarter leave would mean the stadium would be only half full...
True Fans back in the day!
Nothing feels better than a comeback. My most memorable wrestling match...I was down 4 to 12 at the end of the second period in an international match. (I wasn't used to the International Freestyle vs U.S. Collegiate point system) I won 16 to 14. I shut the crowd up big time. Damn, it felt good.
It's not a comeback if you tie and The Eagles win was more impressive.
For real
It's still a comeback and also eagles was impressive but I like this more, had to comeback from more points than that game also considering it's our rival as well
23dlc The eagles scored as many points to win as Florida state to tie
23dlc Eagles and Giants are bitter rivals too
CURTIS CONYER wtf are the Eagles? Philly?
That defense man damn
The Noles defenses were legendary
Amazing 4th quarter. 8 man tackles Danny finding everyone! Legendary!
The people complaining about how disappointed they are and how anticlimactic this game was must not watch football. One of the greatest rivalries in football two teams in their prime. Down 31-3 in the 4th quarter to tie the game is nothing short of a miracle. GO NOLES
Andre cooper is my dad
Four years ago...Lol! My neighbor was Clyde Allen. His son and mine went to school together. I got to put on his 1993 National Championship ring. GO NOLES!!!
Great comeback!
And the Gators’ Lawrence Wright was his daddy.
Congratulations. I bet you are so proud of him.
I'm guessing the VERY minute the season ended that the 'powers that be' added overtime...
took 2 years. The "Texas Shootout" Overtime that we use today was implemented in 1996
willie smith They did they talked it over and I think they added it to the bowls in 95 and expanded it in 96
@Paul Revere Is this an appropriate forum for anti Semitic commentary. Why don't you go to some al Jazeera type site instead. And I'm not Jewish but I am prejudiced toward racist assholes.
@Paul Revere Not worth arguing. Waste of my time and intelligence. Peace.
God I can’t imagine what the stadium must’ve been like in the student section. I went to the UNC game this year and wins were far and few between, but man that upset, the student section was something else the entire game
Reminds me "Harvard BEATS Yale 29- 29"
Love seeing Steve Spurrier pissed off, LOL!!
Then watch the 95 Fiesta Bowl.
I'm too young to have seen this live. I'm a lifelong Gator fan and I had always heard the name "Choke at Doak" but never took the time to look it up. What an insane rally. I'm glad they don't end in ties anymore. I wish the Noles were still this prominent. I'm tired of hearing about Georgia. But with OU and Texas joining the SEC now, who knows what's going to happen.
I'm a Gator and that was our most painful game to watch. It still hurts.
Why? Gators spanked them 3 weeks later for a National Championship.
@@vvvhhhhhbb I belive that game came years later. However I do remember the one you're thinking of and will never forget 52-20.Yeah baby!
@@vvvhhhhhbb How many times did you post this showing your lack of UF Football knowledge
I may be a Miami fan myself but you just have to appreciate the effort of this team not to give up. Really shows their resilience
I remember that game like it was yesterday . There defense in the 4th was just fly all over the place. I was in the stands half way up and could hear the hits way up there. Could you imagine if they had microphones down on the field like they do now. Great game by both.
Rest In Peace coach Bobby Bowden
I wish FSU would play like that now!
Me too
to bad cuz they suck
I know..its a shame how far they have fallen.
Well live with it i am a Wolverine fan feel your pain
@@ericpaul7628 I remember our last good game was against you guys in the Orange Bowl
That was an awesome game. As a Florida State fan I was feeling mighty disheartened after 3 periods, but I said, "Well, let's see if they can at least make the final score more respectable." They did that and then some!
Had to watch on TV. I did see the Miracle at Memorial in person, where Cal trailed Oregon 30-0 late in the 2nd quarter and rallied to win 42-41.
As someone who has a degree from each of these schools, I found the outcome quite acceptable.
If you watch this and get disappointed cause it ended in a tie... Appreciate the greatness that was on that field, the insanity to comeback in 12 minutes. Just realize there wasn't overtime yet. These were the golden ages of College football
so many horse collars! I miss old football
Or on the interception where he threw his helmet off and ran up the field taking half the football team with him from the sideline that would have been a unsportsmanlike delay-of-game 15-yard penalty I seen so many things that today would be called
Amen
Fuck horse collars, you’d feel different having your leg snapped in half. I miss everything else about old football besides horse collars. They can keep that shit. It fucking hurts.
MayMay0210 exactly I’ve been horse collared and it hurts. The fans only care about themselves and not the players.
I’m all for hard hitting, and not overprotecting QBs, but o disagree. It was the right thing to do for football.
I remember sitting in one of the Indian Village apartments during the game laid up with a broken ankle. It was fantastic hearing the roar from the stadium then a second or two later watching the play on the TV.
Thanks for posting this.
Watch this Video over and over!!! Still Can't believe I had to give up my tickets that night because I could not get off work!!!
I hope u are still at that same job, being so loyal.
@@jamesdunlap4907 the company does not even exist now...was a dumbass for missing it
I hate ties. This isn't backyard football, this is competition level. Somebody needs to come out on top.
I was 18 yrs.old at the park by my house playing basketball & listening to the game on the radio. Best Comeback ever. GO NOLES
Clyde Allen was my neighbor. Great guy. Went to the 2013 reunion game with him. Sitting in the stands surrounded by and talking to the heroes of that 1993 team with my son was one of the greatest experiences! Getting to watch the Noles with Winston and Benjamin, and Dalvin Cook while sitting with the former Champs from 93 wasn't bad either. I remember Winston taking off and throwing a block for Cook 25 yards down field that sprung Cook for the TD. One of the players in the stands from the 93 team said, "That was a hiesman move right there"
Prescient...GO NOLES!!! FOR LIFE!!!
Crazy that this comeback happened on the same day as the John Tyler vs. Plano East game in Cowboys Stadium.. that was the greatest ending to a game ever!
These games made me a Seminole fan.
Very informative video, well done rstevens!
Hanging out with friends in Bithlo Florida on this day a day unlike no other
Forever embedded in my memory
5:17-5:20 the Head Ball Coach furiously chewing; Bobby Bowden, black aviators and all, looking cool as a pool in a blizzard. With ice cubes in it...during December
5:40
That girl is doing the Cabbage Patch! That's awesome!
Thank you for thr reminder I watched this game and it's burned into my brain for ever go gators gatornation for life
Yes, talk about back then once modern day American Gladiator match... The clip was extremely well done - Absolutely compelling.
For the Seminoles: DAT DONT COUNT AS A LOSS!!!!!
I never fully appreciated the work of the offensive line till today. They bought the quaterback to much time and no stress. The announcer was right, the defense really stepped it up after 2 TD's
A game like this should NEVER be allowed to end in a tie!
We need that swag back! Go Noles!
Yes we do Go Noles!
Rankings at the time of the game: Florida #7, Florida State #4.
Game would have been very different if they had the same rules as today. So many unsportsmanlike conducts and horse collar tackles.
+Jordan Dzubak the games look more fun here
+Jordan Dzubak and shirt grabs
No it wouldn’t have. They would’ve just tackled normallyn
That's because they played football back then.
Yeah, cuz nowadays they don't let them play football. All they want them to play is pattycake. They may as well all be running around in pink polka dotted dresses, playing no contact, no tackle flag football. Pathetic, Refs calling penalties every other play for every stupid little thing. You look at guy, brush up to him and they throw a flag .. INTERFERENCE!! So teams gets a 40 yard first down for doing nothing. So that's what you like? That's what you call football? What a moron!! Now you can't even touch the QB or you get a penalty. How many times have I seen defenders NOT want to hit the QB for fear of a penalty, then QB runs for a big gain.
TRUE STORY: I was in Grad School and teaching at FSU when this happened. I lived a few hours away, and disgustedly got in my car at the end of the third quarter. When I got to Tallahassee that evening, I was amazed to find that everyone was partying their asses off.
UF VS UFS GREATEST RIVAL OF ALL TIME !!!!!! I'm a GATORNATION BUT I GIVE FLORIDA STATES MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT EVEN TODAY AND I QUOTE!!!!!!,,,
I am here just to see if Danny Kannel will answer me...
I know he watches this every week!
Love your show with Rusillo...I listen everyday!
Yikes….this comment didn’t age well!!
This was the last game I ever saw in person before my family up and left Tallahassee for good and moved all the way across the country to Seattle, Wa where we and I have lived since and never looked back. But goddamn if this game in particular doesn't resonate with me on the good ole' years of the Bobby Bowden era.
From 1982 to 1994 I saw more games @ Doak Campbell then I can count, some amazing wins and some heartbreaking losses but never in my life will I EVER forget this game.
But now that I live in Seattle and am a proud graduate of U of W there is no team in this country I will root for harder than my Huskies, FSU gave me some great memories as a child but my loyalty now lies with the Dawg Pound.
Nevertheless this game will live in infamy for the Florida Gators and their despicable fan base of years gone by.
Choke on that you central Florida fuckers!!!
UDUb has the best stadium in America hands down!
Yes, FSU fans were intolerable before the Gators started winning. YOU JUST WERE GETTING THE TAUNTING BACK IN SPADES. And since Booby, retired, I haven't seen many FSU fans...😂🤣😂
Dope awesome comeback.. great throws even better catches
I was there and I'm 50 now but still get chill bumps!!
what a freaking game this was!!! The worst thing is I was at this game but left at halftime since I figured FSU was out of it...DAMN!! I'm a BAMA grad but grew up an FSU fan
is the music from the Lair PS3 video game?
I totally remember this game! Thank god for OT and the new college playoff system snow.
I was at this game. A lot of you may not understand why FSU people were excited about this game. We were down 31-3. As you could hear from the announcer boy, people had pretty much given up on us. We fought back and scored 28 unanswered TDs to tie it. They say that Bowden was weak for choosing to kick the PAT after the 4th TD, but this team was on a roll. Along with a lot of us at the game, he expected another score by Kannell. This tie felt a lot like a win, because it took a win away from the hated gators.Sure, it would have been great to win, but we did not/NOT leave with a loss.
I forgot about this game. Had FSU won I wouldn't have felt so bad about my Tigers losing the way they did in the BCS. FSU has been so damn good for so long. Why don't they have a better rep than Bama?
Because we sucked from 2005-2009
Colton Burton I guess, but Bama has had some down years. I can see that argument though. Haven't you all made a bowl every year for something like 30 plus years? I know bowl eligible doesn't mean what it used to, but no other school has that rep.
the SEC just marketed everything as them being the greatest conference and everyonne started believing it the big 10 and 12 used to be the big boys
History just repeats itself when it comes to college football
Yea Fsu was just avg from like 2003-2009..but there still ranked in the top 10 in best college football program alltime along with the other Florida schools UF and The U but we don't care about them lol although our state has 11 or 12 college football championships under our belts..Go Noles
I was there. It was a win. GO NOLES!!!
me too!
FUCK YOU IT WAS NOT A GODDAMN WIN
@@bigwillietheb yeah but it was a lose for you sooooo
Husky fan here in Seattle, FSU vs U. of Florida was always a must watch College football game every year. That rivalry is as good as it gets. Texas vs Oklahoma, USC Notre Dame, Ohio State vs Michigan
All up there too ( I’m sure I forgot a few )
As a Vol fan who lamented all the losses to Florida in the 90s and the rivalry they created, I don't think anything tops the decade long war between FSU and Florida. Their games in the 90s were peak competition.
For those of you who were wondering where the soundtrack comes from: it's from Lair by John Debney. I shazzamed it.
It always helps the players to have that inspiring music in the background.
I was never much of an NCAA fan. But I remember all the guys talking about this game in high school for the next couple of days
Classic game!! Zack Crockett with the monster block for Rock was straight up man on man football… He cleared out 2 gaytors on that play… Lot of great FB’s lot great players altogether
