2000 Sugar Bowl (National Championship): Virginia Tech vs. Florida State: Hokie Highlights

[@mineralt]

RIP Phreak!

[@randalmartin22]

That throw at 1:22 by Vick is just ridiculous. Just flicked the wrist and rocketed the ball across the field.

[@blxbrg2169]

Yeah that throw was just insane

[@dipset22554]

Oh baby what a throw lol

[@jamaalpate760]

I'm A FSU Fan....But Micheal Vick Changed Football When He Came Along..

[@spirojus]

Jamaal Pate Who cares that you’re an FSU fan? It’s not relevant.

[@Bobby-ev8xp]

Justin Spiro just like no one cares what you think, but it was better being at FSU fan in that game for sure.

[@flagtheoffense]

I came to this video because I was talking about Robert Griffin. He is great but I still have never seen a QB go as wild as Vick did in this game.

[@greyez7]

Imagine Vick on The U... Man they'd have shit on FSU

[@Jagnole101]

Gerardo Reyes imagine if Randy Moss hadn’t fucked up...FSU would’ve had him, Peter Warrick, and Coles on their 1997 team. Straight nastiness.

[@greyez7]

Jagnole101 Jesus Christ, you're right. I forgot Coles was on that team. Moss and Warrick would've been the greatest 1-2 punch ever

[@Larry11181]

Chris Winkie, Eric Crouch, Tim Tebow, Vince Young, and Matt Linehart are probably the best college QBs of the last 30 years.

[@Larry11181]

Honourable mentions to Josh Hypel, Cam Newton, Desaun Watson, Donovan McNabb, Ryan Leaf, and Peyton Manning.

[@edwardfisher6764]

Ken Dorsey

[@blxbrg2169]

You honestly would leave Vick off the list, I think you are excluding him for other reasons. The only QB that had a chance to come close to Mike was his brother Marcus. My personal favorite was Tyrod Taylor though

[@Oroshimisu]

Agreed , there will never be another Vick.

[@Instant224]

Lamar

[@outdoor802]

@@Instant224 lamar slight edge as a runner but has nowhere near the arm that vick had

[@blxbrg2169]

Vick would have run right past Lamar, and as mentioned Mikes arm was just insane. Watched him throw a football completely out of the stadium from the opposite end zone

[@blxbrg2169]

I was lucky enough to be a season ticket holder and watching him live at full speed can’t be described it really was a different kind of speed and a ability to make players look dumbfounded

[@RuffRyder_43]

2 special teams TD's by FSU didn't help the Hokies either

[@ThaNotoriousCMD]

Little did anyone know these 2 teams would be in the same conference just 5 years later

[@ccrowder]

How Vick just ran away from FSU defenders is unbelievable. Never has been and never will be another MV.

[@blxbrg2169]

Agreed, Mike is a once in a lifetime. As a Hokie I was lucky enough to see him play in person for his entire college career including the Natty. Very special player. FSU defense was running all over the place. Coach Bowden’s comments in the paper the next day were priceless.

[@charliedallachie3539]

Hope these days come back, VT needs to recruit better and win big games

[@blxbrg2169]

Greatest to not win the Heisman. It was just embarrassing to listen to the committee NOT try and justify stealing MV1 the trophy. Still can’t wrap my head around it. Because FSU won the game. Best player not best team

[@flagtheoffense]

I remember this game but I still laugh at the Hokies' third TD to make it 28-24. Look at how many FSU defenders are keying on Vick on the option!

[@naymonnewbern8158]

I remember watching this game..Mike Vick was throwing rocket balls

[@blxbrg2169]

His arm was a rocket launcher and very accurate and it helped that he had Andre Davis catching everything

[@CS-np2oo]

Watched this game because of FSU star...Mr. Electric, Peter Warrick...remember him ? But came away asking WHO is Michael Vick ? WOW! Only a freshman.

[@blxbrg2169]

This game was a lot closer than the scoreboard said. FSU was the better team that night. I have never been so pumped about anything in my life. . This team was special

[@araynova]

Still can't believe this Brotha redshirted his true freshman year. He must was hella raw coming outta Warrick High School.

[@EJ_Ethan922]

The Great Michael Vick

[@SMADIA25]

@WestheLegend & @encycl07pedia.. Both very well put and right as rain.. Just watched the whole game this weekend and these highlights painted a closer picture than I realistically feel it actually was, watching all 4 Qtr's left me feeling like I was more afffected by the Highlights in that comment a Month ago, but, THESE HIGHLIGHTS!!!

[@bmoore2006]

I think he was telling the ref he got hit late after he stepped out of bounds.

[@WestheLegend]

Vick carried his team all the way to this game and thru like 2 1/2-3 quarters. But FSU was simply deeper, more talented and cmon...better coached back then. This is when Bowden would draw up a DAMN good game plan, excute it, and then make changes at half time if need be. Not go change his depends and take a nap until the whistle blew for the start of the 3rd quarter. VT played well, but they were never gonna win this game against the '99 Noles. No one could beat them all year. Wire To Wire.

[@blxbrg2169]

Hokie here just wanted to say that FSU was definitely the better and deepest team that night . I am just happy I got to be in New Orleans to see my Hokies at least playing for Natty

[@petemoore1835]

Single handily kept them in this game against the much more talented FSU team who had nfl players all over the field ...CFB had never seen anything like Vick

[@seminolesoul1025]

Where was fsu's touchdown highlights?!

[@BUCFP2007]

It says "Hokie Highlights" in the title of the video.

[@kenarthur6253]

As a VT Graduate, it was a great game for 3 Quarters! 4th quarter, not so much! 🤔

[@suncity2005]

But these are the VT highlights only, not the National Championship Highlights.

[@fsuprime189]

love to see that score balloon from 29-28 to 46-29 without any explanation or video.

[@SMADIA25]

Still kills me that Weinke & his Team beat Vick.. Wasn't from lack of effort from MV7..

[@andyraphael]

hokies d let them down and also vtech blowed too many opportunity in this game they left about 13pts on the field in the 1st half alone

[@beamerball666]

I've never seen a game with such lopsided rushing #'s in which the team that pounded the rock lost like this game

[@dragonknightofamiraka3636]

beamerball666 RIGGED

[@-jackkeith]

FSU was just too good. We could’ve had it

[@Mershon2100]

6:19 .. No Love !! lol

[@encycl07pedia]

LMAO. You do realize you're talking about a Heisman trophy winner and the first ever wire-to-wire national championship team, right? Nobody was going to beat FSU that year, especially not some sad sack team that was totally dependent on one great player.

[@blxbrg2169]

You have to know that Heisman belonged to Mike Vick. Best player not best team. The excuse was they unwritten rule of not giving it to freshmen. Robbed of a award that was the easiest Heisman winner ever

[@doctorweston05]

Damn he was good.

[@officerricky4681]

Why are people complaining about it being just VT highlights look at the channel name

[@kjr06e]

A classic go NOLES

[@SMADIA25]

C'mon guys, all these facts about FSU and that season are obvious, including the fact that Weinke went nowhere and has done absolutely nothing since but waste Carolina's money, however, it's a lot easier to make sense like @encycl07pedia, to take accurate meaning of my statement, that Vick didn't have the talent that FSU had around him, but still played a great game that had VT in it for quite a bit.. @jgutter34, you are completely wrong, I never said anything like that about FSU and them suck

[@TWProductions90]

defense wins championships, i havent seen the whole game but im sure the D was a reason for the loss

[@barneybussey1150]

Vick--Most electrifying performance in any national championship game.

[@TulsaDude]

maybe... Vince Young has an argument

[@londellrobinson5415]

+Ryan Balsiger yea vince got a right to jump in the convo but vicks weapons was a lil less than the longhorns the year they beat usc

[@TulsaDude]

***** yeah, you don't really get it, watch the Vince Young game, then you might change your mind, probably not based on your comments

[@TulsaDude]

Title game vs title game, I know it's hard for you to understand that

[@blxbrg2169]

No quarterback/athlete has ever come close to the super human things Mike Vick did. Rocket arm, incredible body control and balance and 4.3 speed. I’ll say it again, robbed of the Heisman.

[@soonerbred22]

kyler murray looks faster

[@blxbrg2169]

Vick ran a 4.3 . Was at one time the fastest man in the NFL

[@soonerbred22]

@@blxbrg2169 yea I know Kyler just looks faster maybe because he's shorter

[@blxbrg2169]

@@soonerbred22 yeah I can see that, makes sense. I was actually wrong Mike ran a 4.25. I’ll will say Mike doesn’t look like he’s running as fast as he actually is

Florida state was just too good that year. Yes, we could’ve won but that was one of the best cfb teams ever. Many pros on that FSU team

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

3:23...one of the more ridiculous college football plays I have ever seen live. I mean, the 1999 Florida State title team is an ALL TIME championship team...and Vick was out there saucin' on them like he was controlled on a PS1. Insane.
