1994 Auburn vs Florida

[@gregk1489]

another auburn fan that was at that game. my uncle is a huge gator booster and gave me an extra ticket to go with him and sit in the booster section.... they had a big banner saying "the luck stops here" but it didn't. the 93 game was great as well

[@catsnchords]

The Auburn-Florida games from 93-95 were epic shootouts! Nix, Sanders, Beasley, Davis...Wuerffel, Doering, Jackson, Taylor... I had just started getting into college football as a junior higher at this time. Great memories!

[@Wowzersdude-k5c]

Shelling, Jackson, Smith, Robinson, McGee, Alvis... All those DB's bring back memories.

[@SpreadAU]

Danny W came in and made the same throw over & over. Fuller was big man, went nuts

[@howard2031]

Dayum...the memories of a teenage me sitting in the living room on a Saturday afternoon watching this game. War Eagle.

[@halhenderson9020]

Was at that game. Was really tough day. Just got to give it too Nix. Man he was clutch.

[@robbie192]

Was at that game...Gator grad...surprised AU could not continue their level of play...and Weurrfel ERA began soon after...

[@kenjones3205]

Probation caught up with them. Even though they went 9-1-1 that season, tying and losing their last two games.

[@dereklatshaw3017]

this was such a big day in college football.

[@BAYAREA-kd1ig]

Not that it matters now since it was almost 30 years ago, was that a touchdown ? Around the 10:38 Mark.

[@leekeyser1968]

This was such a great rivalry in the 80's and early 90's. Im a UF Fan. And I miss this rivalry, along with the much less intense rivalry w FSU, And Tennessee.

[@gamingdreams2142]

Well with Texas and Oklahoma joining Auburn will probably be in the east soon.

[@odasmith1215]

Like ive said before Auburn has just always had Floridas number WDE

[@bernie7044]

This game still hurts me today. This was one of the most devastating losses that i have ever experienced as a lifelong Gator. Sanders had a horrible day and then........... LOL. Hey, if Bo Nix was anything like his dad, Gus would still have a job. Great game though!!!!! We lost but it's still one of my all time favorites.

[@shawnjenkins7469]

Yep. Hands-down the worst loss ever, coming in No. 1 in The Swamp and losing to that jackass Bowden. Closest we ever came to an undefeated season.

[@Proganaut1989]

Man I loved this game ... I'm a huge Auburn fan and for our secondary to do this against a eventual heisman trophy winner much less 4 all world wideouts was incredible.

[@bernie7044]

One of the most heartbreaking losses yet one of the best football games ever. How fitting was it that it was Terry? Sanders was having an absolutely horrible day. Terry Dean was bought, lmbo. I could go on and on. Great memories.

[@walterlv01]

This was the infamous "Terry Dean Game" for Florida - Dean had been the Heisman Trophy front runner coming into this, fell apart with 4 turnovers in the first half, and never played another down of football for Florida while Danny Wuerffel went on to become a Gators legend.

[@BourgeoisBuffoon]

I recall an interview with Spurrier where he said, "I may not have been fair to Terry Dean."

[@jpowers55]

I remember watching this

[@DEDBRD-di4yj]

I wish Gus would watch this game and remember that we still have TE "s to throw the ball to !

[@gamingdreams2142]

Gus is a loser and is gone.

[@Hutchdh]

first auburn game I was ever at. Some florida fans were calling us the war chickens before the game. As a kid (7) I turned to my dad and said it's war eagle right? He said yes son. I corrected them lol. To their credit, the florida fans laughed too. Thanks for the upload.

[@tylongkicks8821]

David Hutchinson War Eagle!!

[@jeffakers7582]

Never gets old! Nix to Sanders! War Eagle!

[@hollimanflooringinc]

This was when Frank Sanders became and still is my all time favorite

[@UnkleRuckusNoRelation]

Mine as well! I went to school at Auburn with Frank and still have an old 81 Auburn jersey.

[@artofvalor9396]

War Eagle! Highly talented Auburn tems in 93-94!

[@shawnjenkins7469]

Most painful loss as a Gator. Ouch!

[@1flynlow]

25 years later.. same scenario. and the son of Patrick Nix at QB...

[@robbie192]

So these 2 programs went in different directions soon after. The great Bowden 22 game winning streak ended next week w a tie to UGA. A loss to Bama followed and the Bowden 95 to 98 yrs were pretty average as recruiting fell off due to the NCAA restrictions under Dye. Dean never played again. .Danny W took over and for the next 2.5 yrs UF won 3 SEC titles...had 0 losses in the SEC and only 3 overall.. and won the natty in 96.

[@AU88]

Thanks for posting...and having my fave Gus pic for your avatar.

[@bernie7044]

This was the day Terry Dean's career ended. I still think this was one of the best teams we ever had at Florida. Who doesn't get much credit is Stephen Davis. He ran his butt off that day. The horror of those Auburn snare drums will forever be stamped in my head as I sat and watched the last touchdown a develop as it were in slow motion. Sanders is actually covered. The ball left Nix's hand and from the trajectory I went from being yes, we got them to my heart sinking as Sanders went up. Although we had great coverage there was absolutely no way that our Safety Michael Gilmore was going to jump with Sanders. The moan of 75 thousand Gator fans and the roar of maybe 6 or so thousand of Auburn fans. People forget who was on this Bowden Coaching staff. I know it was a young Jimbo Fisher. Whats even more funny is that Florida played Georgia the next weekend and the UGA offense was absolutely loaded with future NFL talent and future coaches. Will Muschamp and Kirby Smart were on that Georgia team, lol.

[@jrpark05]

Andy....Fuller. What a win!

[@bodiew7368]

the way Brent Musburger called the game you would think Auburn didn't belong on the field

[@dustinlee665]

coach spurrier a great offense mind.

[@BAMA-2019]

Hell because EVERYBODY HATES AUBURN..even good ol BRENT

[@BAYAREA-kd1ig]

He probably had some serious money on Florida.

[@oakleyking5748]

Gators were a excellent team,actin hard,talkin tough b 4 the game.Baby Bowden the streak ends I think they said.Tried 2 intimidate us all game.There were a lot of cryin Gators after the game though.WAR EAGLE 4 LIFE

[@WestsideVakay]

Has anyone seen Terry Dean since then?

[@walterlv01]

Terry Dean today is a year older than Spurrier was at the time of this game (50/49). Time really does fly.

[@pickett47]

I have great memories playing football with Terry at Pine Ridge Middle School in Naples Florida. I was one of his best receivers during PE flag football under Coach Ivory Scott. I went on to Barron Collier and was looking forward to making the team but I moved on to Knoxville TN. Ended up jointing the Army and was in the 82nd Airborne division during this game. Wish I could have stayed on and played High School football with Terry. He had the best arm id ever seen!

[@blanegralheer2938]

If it was bama we would claim a natty

[@caimbus]

Couldn't go to a bowl but they still had a good year..Despite tying GA and losing to bama

[@connoret]

The old UF logo. That was in my window at my old apartment in Jacksonville. Spring cleaning.

[@tigerwareagle1485]

Isn't it ironic that the son of this quarterback will be playing in the Swamp and hopefully will be leading the Tigers to drain the swamp again?

[@chrisdupree19]

Huntsville who who

[@howard2031]

Good times, glad Fla didn't defend the middle all day.

[@heathchilders4709]

Anyone else see spurrier wipe his hands off on his pants after he shook terry Bowden's hand? Lol

[@caimbus]

Yeah..there was no telling where Bowden's hands had been
