From 1991-2002 one of Florida's big 3 schools (Miami, UF and FSU) played in the National Championship game every year except once... in 1997, because of this game.
I try to tell the younger generation today, how it was in the 90's. People just don't get it. P.S. You can count UF/FSU as double in the '97 Sugar Bowl
I was at this game and I thought the Swamp was going to come crumbling down. The noise and atmosphere were incredible. Most exciting college game I've ever witnessed, bar none.
Been a Gator fan for 50 years (can hardly believe its been that long, 😆), think I agree that this was the most electrifying win for GATOR NATION ever... EV---ER!
I was fortunate to be one in the crowd. I was on the alumnus side and don't remember ever sitting down. One of those games that I will remember quite a few details from and so glad Fred Taylor's long runs were included here. Of course I'll never forget Johnson to Green.....
I know i'm commenting 9 years after the vid was posted....but goto 13:04...BOTH FSU and Florida players, black and white, most players still in their late teens/early 20s, ...on their knee, bowing their heads, in prayer after the game. Wish we could see more of this today... ^5
Yes! Definitely a scene every fan in the state of Florida needs to see. Yes, it's a heated rivalry. Yes, things got intense. Yes, this had national championship implications. However, at the end of the day, it's a game, and players on both teams are human beings, and need to learn to respect each other as fellow humans, as fellow athletes, and even though they are rivals, need to show great displays of sportsmanship like this scene right here. It's a scene the fans all need to see. I also had this big color picture from 1993 showing Charlie Ward and Danny Wuerffel holding hands in prayer, along with their teammates that I thought was a really great picture everyone needed to see. Even though they are heated rivals, they are all still college athletes, they were able to keep it in perspective and show that both sides can still be together on things much bigger than a football game.
There will never be another rivalry like the 1990's with Spurrier vs Bowden/ UF vs FSU - every game had a direct role in the NC picture and those 2 coaches added so much to it - i was lucky to be a student at UF during this period and I was at the stadium for this game - we lost our minds that night!
Probably the loudest and most exciting Gator game I've been ever to. The Swamp rocked that night and Gator Nation went nuts. Fans stood in the stands and screamed at the top of their lungs long after the game ended! "It's Great To Be A Florida Gator!"
I was 12 years old when this game happened and I was at my tennis lesson in Gainesville early that morning when my brother came up and said, "hey I need to run an errand to pick up something...your UF/FSU ticket!" Still THE greatest gift my brother has ever gotten me!
That was the single happiest night of my life. I remember jumping from the porch at my mom's apartment, running down the street screaming my head off and in tears. I thought for sure FSU was going to kill us that year. Probably the best game football game I have ever seen at any level.
Yeti tracker 66 Smith had a much better line than Taylor did when he was with Dallas. Taylor did more damage against FSU and actually beat them, going 3-1-2 against them. Smith lost all the years he played FSU. This was the best performance I ever witnessed by a running back against those great FSU teams. Usually we stuffed the run very well.
@@robbie192 I went to that game thanks to a friend who went to UF he gave me his student ticket for free my voice was gone by halftime but kept on yelling & screaming had a blast
Awesome video. So fun to relive a game that I watched as a kid. I went to the UF-FSU games all 4 years I was a student (we went 3-1 against them during my years), but this game was better than them all. Hands down.
Definitely one of those games where the coach is telling them all week that if they don't give their all on every snap that they would lose big time. Had they not, that likely would have been the case.
It was a very confusing time to be a Gator. I grew up believing 1-10 was a winning season providing that 1 win came against free shoe U. When they provided our 1st NC with a 52-20 win and ended the year with another 32-29 win I still can't say which way it's more fun to beat them. FANTASTIC GAME
kalebpost20 It was nice seeing FSU get exposed by oregon too. Hope those two years of somewhat success were fun. Now back to a decade long of rebuilding and "we'll get em next years"
Their coverage of the SEC and Big East from 1996-2000 was top notch. In particular their coverage in 1996 and 1997 helped them get the NFL back on CBS starting in 1998.
I was there,After we beated No.1 FSU and the whole town went wild and everybody was running on the streets celebrating and giving high fives to the passing motorists and it was crazy and I loved evrybit of it.I can"t wait to see,Fred Taylors son playing this year 2013 and see Kelvin play and I hope he is better than his Dad was and make the Gatornation proud and get us some top Recruits for the 2014 era.Go Gators FSU is Always GatorBait.
I can only imagine what that was like. I lived in Orlando but now I live in Kentucky so I have not got to watch a game in the Swamp EVER. Plus you not only went to the best rivalry of the 9Os, you got to see the best game in the swamp ever. What was it like? I have watched Florida play at UK, Tenn, Vandy, and S. Carolina but not the swamp. Its usually considered the toughest place to play in the country. Swamp and LSU Death Valley are almost universally listed first and second.
if that's what we are wouldn't your 2 former coaches b4 spurrier you had to run off be students there? wait wern't you bowl ineligible? lmbo at the ufail tards ...
@Mason Murphy - was that your ignernt lizard arse shooting an AK-47 at a u. fektard? You guys prove how stupid it is down there with your audacious accusations. Pitiful really ...
If only we were as good as Ga. Southern who rolled into the poo puddle and humiliated u. fektards ... LMBO ROTF ... no passes, all runs ... Gator o lineman and receiver blocking/raping each other as the other team scored ... u can't make this stuff up. only u fektards ... put that AK 47 away u. felons ...
1"48 mark 4th and 3 and the Gators run a reverse pass back to the QB... Gotta love it! Florida goes 80 yds in 3 plays to take the lead and picks off a pass to seal it. Sounded a couple of times like Sean McDonough was delirious with excitement.
And people say he is too boring for MNF. No, the MNF games are what's boring. He got to call one of the greatest college games ever and proved that he can translate the excitement. Any of his haters should watch this game
The Gator Pass was Spurrier's favorite play. However, I never saw so much blown coverage by an FSU team with the players they had as what occurred in that game. Hats off to the Gator receivers, though, for making some spectacular (and sometimes lucky) catches when the defense was all over them.
@@BAYAREA-kd1ig I think the best two teams were Nebraska and FSU that year. With the way WSU hanged tough with Michigan in Rose Bowl i think FSU was a better overall team than WSU and would've beat Michigan imo.
Florida upset both Tennessee and FSU's natty hopes this season. I swear their program exists just to be the obnoxious antagonist of other programs. The last 30 years of sleezy coaches seems to fit well with that role.

lmbo, yeah real tough with ufelons dropping over 60 on peytons vols and many more blow outs by u felons against the sec only to lose to the Dynasty Inc.
The SEC is a joke. I've never seen one conference take the credit for one team's success more than the SEC. Alabama is the only team worth a shit in the entire conference. Georgia is getting there but everyone knows that they're paying players to go there and when they get hit with sanctions like Ole Miss did they'll be back to being crap again.
i just hope we have a great season next year.Also i hope kelvin taylor will be our heisman trophy winner. But first we need to build our offense( we really need help on offense). Also we need to keep up our great defense. our defense rank is i the top 5 in the nation
i'm not worried about the running game, we have 3 very good good RB's and the O-line is gonna be better, it's the passing game that's gotta get going, jeff needs to work on his accuracy and his pocket awareness, and we need a WR or 2 to step up, i believe dunbar is gonna be the go to guy, and maybe one of the freshman will make a big impact... the defense isn't gonna be as great as it was last year, but it's still gonna be good..
TheWakeup011 I was 8 and just started watching football....we won the first game, and because of a lame ass grandfathered-in rule where the PAC 10 had to play a Big 10 team...we didn’t end up playing #2 rated Arizona State. Apparently you’re not old enough to remember what happened, jort-wearer
TheWakeup011 then UF had to rely on a last-second drive by OSU to beat ASU, otherwise they wouldn’t have been champs. Gators don’t realize how grateful they should be or realize how insanely lucky this was. Only 2011 Alabama can rival this.
@@Jagnole101 they don't realize? You sound silly. Of course we realize. Something similar happened in 1993, when#1 FSU lost at #2Notre Dame by seven. FSU needed ND to lose. If ND wins out there is no Natty for your beloved Seminoles, just another close finish. You're familiar with those.... Instead ND loses to BC, which opened the door for FSU to play in the championship game. You should be happy the refs allowed your d lineman to pile up all those late hits on Weurffel in game one.......... Better yet be angry at your secondary, who all became dehydrated at the same time early in the second half of the NC game, leaving with cramps.😂😂😂😂😂😂You can't make this shit up. How could they do something like this to the fans? But hey, this is Free Shoes University, right? I guess you just do it......
Oh yeah , well thanks to a good friend I was able to go to that game also, he went to UF & told me he hardly went to home games so he said I'll give you my student ticket & I said how much do you want for it , he said don't worry about it , have a good time, so I went that day & had a blast. & I am a die hard GATOR & an anti FSU.
Spurrier only beat FSU at home at the swamp in Gainesville, never at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee. Bobby Bowden won several times at the swamp though. Just not this one.
I know man. Once both Florida and Florida State come back again, everybody will fear us again. Nobody wanted to play Florida, Florida State or Miami when they were good.
Even though this was the best rivalry in college football for about a decade, there weren't that many actual great games between the two. It wasn't like FSU-Miami which seemed to come down to the final play every year. It seemed like when FSU and Florida played, the two teams never played their best at the same time. Until this game. Except for this game.
really, Fred Taylor was not the problem in that game....UF's Offensive Line, and Spurrier's playcalling with the offense which routinely caught us Gator Fans off Guard with his calls in that game...That was probably the best playcalling and play selection in all of Spurriers time in Florida...
"The Greatest Game Ever Played" for Florida, but not for anyone else. Stupid play calling by FSU down at the goal line going with three straight off-tackle runs when a play-action pass to the tight end would've been an easy TD as the Gators had stacked the box. The point differential would have made it FSU 33 Florida 26 and assuming Florida scores again as quickly as before, it would have been interesting to see if Spurrier would go for two for the win or kick for the tie and let the defense try and get the ball back. Since Spurrier had never forgotten the Choke at Doak (which would get my vote as the Greatest Game Ever Played), he would have kicked for the tie. Being tied or ahead by a point would've also changed FSU's offensive strategy during the last 90 seconds knowing that SeaBass could knock a FG through from 50+ yards on in to win it. Now, THAT might have been one of the greatest games ever played.
You're being sarcastic, but it's plausible that Driskel will win the Heisman. Not likely, but plausible. Recently the Heisman winner has be someone that nobody expects in the preseason (Manziel, RGIII, Newton, Ingram, and so on). Also Florida was in both SEC and national championship consideration last season so I'm not sure what you're talking about when you say it will be a while.
I hate when people say this was a massive upset. Consider the following, fumble fsu runs it back for a free td, another fumble leads to fg, Florida blows 3 point after attempts and misses a chip shot 28 yard fg. Florida more or less handed fsu 16 points and STILL won lol. Any time you fuck up that much in opponent that is better than you is going to 100% Beat you
kelvin taylor starting this year, garuntee you he will break ankles this year. all due respect to matt jones, kelvin taylor should have been starting over him

6:05 9:42 and 10:58 for the 3 big plays lol
FT ALL DAY!!!!!!!!
2 early fumbles but glad the ole ball coach stuck with Taylor.
14 -0 next year
Should’ve gone for it at the goal line.
But then we would have missed Janikowski doing the Gator chomp after he made his kick. Karma is a bitch. 😂
We don't have announcers like this anymore......i hate watching Gator football on the SEC NETWORK the announcers aren't invested at all
Fred Taylor was a fucking problem.
Only if you were s Free Shoes University Fan..or the FSU Defensive Coordinator...lol....
really, Fred Taylor was not the problem in that game....UF's Offensive Line, and Spurrier's playcalling with the offense which routinely caught us Gator Fans off Guard with his calls in that game...That was probably the best playcalling and play selection in all of Spurriers time in Florida...
univ felons shoulda got deATH PENALTY IN THE LATE 80's - dirty gators caught twice and had to run their u felon coach out ... again.
"The Greatest Game Ever Played" for Florida, but not for anyone else. Stupid play calling by FSU down at the goal line going with three straight off-tackle runs when a play-action pass to the tight end would've been an easy TD as the Gators had stacked the box. The point differential would have made it FSU 33 Florida 26 and assuming Florida scores again as quickly as before, it would have been interesting to see if Spurrier would go for two for the win or kick for the tie and let the defense try and get the ball back. Since Spurrier had never forgotten the Choke at Doak (which would get my vote as the Greatest Game Ever Played), he would have kicked for the tie.
Being tied or ahead by a point would've also changed FSU's offensive strategy during the last 90 seconds knowing that SeaBass could knock a FG through from 50+ yards on in to win it.
Now, THAT might have been one of the greatest games ever played.
Sorry, this game was EASILY the greatest game ever played. Too bad you were on the losing end of it!
You're being sarcastic, but it's plausible that Driskel will win the Heisman. Not likely, but plausible. Recently the Heisman winner has be someone that nobody expects in the preseason (Manziel, RGIII, Newton, Ingram, and so on). Also Florida was in both SEC and national championship consideration last season so I'm not sure what you're talking about when you say it will be a while.
Fred Taylor's son will do this today against FSU!

I hate when people say this was a massive upset. Consider the following, fumble fsu runs it back for a free td, another fumble leads to fg, Florida blows 3 point after attempts and misses a chip shot 28 yard fg. Florida more or less handed fsu 16 points and STILL won lol. Any time you fuck up that much in opponent that is better than you is going to 100% Beat you
kelvin taylor starting this year, garuntee you he will break ankles this year. all due respect to matt jones, kelvin taylor should have been starting over him
