The Puntrooskie 1988 FSU v Clemson

Bobby Bowden excutes the best trick play in memory in the 1988 FSU v Clemson game. The Puntrooskie

[@Futbolero725]

Rest In Peace Coach Bowden. You’re an amazing man who touched so many lives.

[@davidp1871]

The end of an era in college football coaching. RIP Coach.

[@themcadamsminute8494]

Thank you for all you gave to the game coach…and everything else. A true college football and sports icon.

[@bigdawg7262]

Greatest college football play of all-time.

[@Liber8d]

Was there for it and it was STUNNING!! RIP Bobby

[@gryphonglobal]

The man might have left us, but the legend will live forever. Dadgummit !!!

I watched this game in Tallahassee in the dorms with about 35 people crowded around the TV. When our last drive ended, and we lined up to punt, we were disappointed because we thought Clemson would have a short field and maybe get a FG. No one deserved to lose that game. We were not expecting a trick play. When Leroy Butler got the ball and got around the corner we EXPLODED I am shocked we didn't knock the roof off. That was Bobby Bowden and FSU football you had to watch it was amazing all through the 80's and 90's. Clemson was deadly that year and came to Tally the next year, in 1989, and tricked FSU on a special teams play and won. FSU fell way behind then had a huge unbelievably rally that fell short when a FB fumbled late in the game. Like I said, that was FSU football the games were epic win or lose.

Coach Bowden. Love that man.

[@harrymiram6621]

LOVE Bobby Bowden's interviews....

[@Tonetwisters]

LeRoy Butler was a first class person for us, and an amazing player. Florida State was blessed with some incredible DB's ...

[@rolandolopez9463]

Simply the best! Thanks Bobby. RIP.

[@michaelmclaughlin3837]

I am a forever Tennessee Vols fan. We were fortunate enough to beat Bowden in 1998 for the title. God love you Bobby, you were such a fabulous coach and you were damn good for college football. Nothing but love and respect to you and those awesome FSU teams you created. Hoping both of our programs return to glory, and we both have one thing in common: utter hatred for the Florida Gators. :)

[@BigBlackRod]

My Gators beat y'all every year of St. Peyton's career, then y'all (behind Tee Martin) took it out on the Noles...

[@michaelmclaughlin3837]

@@BigBlackRod we had to take out a lot of anger from that 5 game streak. We had a great team but yall were loaded. Was at the game in 1998 where we finally won in overtime and partied like it was 1999 ;)

[@BigBlackRod]

@@michaelmclaughlin3837 I really wish y'all were good right now. I really loved playing the Vols, not because we were winning (although that helped), but because of the atmosphere. We didn't like each other, but we respected each other. Plus, our first Heisman winner, Steve Spurrier, came from Tennessee, as well as a pretty could coach, Doug Dickey...

[@michaelmclaughlin3837]

@@BigBlackRod agreed. Dickey really was good to UT. Did some great things as athletic director. Think we are finally turning the corner back to being competitive. Made some awful coaching decisions post Fulmer but I think Pruitt is righting the ship. Hope im right. Good luck on your season. Go Vols

[@jroll4110]

BOBBY was a AMAZING human and coach. Love and respect from a Hurricane from Tallahassee 🫡

[@ericacavender35]

Was watching that game huge play fooled everyone, Coach Bowden was very animated , hellva coach his quotes are legend . Never b another that for sure.

[@condor5635]

I was at this game.... such a classic. I miss Bobby!

[@jonhohensee3258]

No you weren't.

[@bigchief1246]

My dad was sitting in the west endzone and he watched leroy run right at him. Wish I was there.

[@juanbarberis7192]

Tks, Coach Bowden! 👍😊

[@michaelrollins3765]

Leroy Butler never be forgotten because of the puntrooskie and he started the Lambeau leap.

[@jamescrosby1142]

Go pack go and roll tribe roll

[@jonesblake]

I’m a Tallahassee native and lifelong Noles fan. I remember being at a friends house watching this live. We were 11 years old and were climbing the walls we were so excited! 😂

[@thecook..]

The best play ever.

[@Rewster68]

I'm a Clemson fan. I was 20 years old when this happened. The punter completely faked me out and I actually thought we were going to win this game. At this time I hated Coach Bowden. As I grew older, I learned more about him and what he stood for. The more I learned, the more I admired him. I have total respect for him and his son Tommy. My son attended Tommy Bowden football camps growing up and I used to ease drop and watch from a distance. What Tommy Bowden and a young Dabo Swinney taught those young kids went beyond football. RIP Coach Bowden and thank you Tommy and Dabo for being apart of my son's childhood.

[@jdhjimbo]

Bobby always had fun. He was willing to do something deep in his own territory, that few coaches would attempt - especially against a good opponent, in a tie game. A few years Later, I went to a Clemson-FSU game in Death Valley, but the Seminoles crushed the Tigers in that one. A great atmosphere, but FSU OWNED the ACC for a decade until UVA final,y beat them I Charlottesville on a Thursday night. Always fun to watch Bowden's team.

[@stevewestra1268]

Nebraska ran it back in 1975 against Missouri. They called it the Bummeroosky. Fun play to watch.

[@smithwez1101]

Yeah well, we ain't taking about the huskers

[@Gold-oj8do]

That's right Steve Westra. John O'Leary took it in. I believe Bum Phillips was the guy who originally drew it up. Love Bobby Bowden. RIP. I'm praying you went straight to heaven. I pray we all do.

[@SMichaelDeHart]

I met Coach Bowden in 1972 at a Men's Prayer Breakfast at our church in Saint Albans, West Virginia. I was 8 years old, attending with one of my brother's and my father. He was still our Mountaineers coach.A fine Christian man and so genuine and kind. CFB lost a legend today!!

[@marcuspope83]

Hey are you related to Lisa Bobby Joe and david

[@SMichaelDeHart]

@@marcuspope83 No...I've a brother named David and I've heard of the other 2, but not related.

[@jscottrockford]

Bowden had balls the size of a grapefruit to run that there.......love it 👍

[@towdjumper5]

I watched that game from Fort Bragg. Great stuff .

[@johnwright1605]

Leroy running down the sideline with that head cocked back!

[@doozerace]

I know right.... If he had ran with some forward lean he would have scored a touchdown.... 😂😂😂😂

[@ThomasMcKee-wf1rg]

Original genius. No way in hell you could pull it off today. He’s right on that

[@heathen3550]

God, I miss him.

R.I.P.

[@kdogg6781]

i was there in death valley that day.. as a 9 yr old die hard clemson fan.. i saw that punter jump up and immediately thought, "we got this... they've messed and we're gonna win"..... but,...

[@JordanZeh]

ONE OF MY FAVORITE COLLEGE FOOTBALL MOMENTS OF ALL TIME ESPECIALLY BC I WAS WATCHING LIVE...BUT BC I AM A GAMECOCK!!!!!!, SO MADE IT ALL SO SWEET TO SEE THOSE CLEMSON FANS FACES...AND OF COURSE, DANNY FORD'S DISGUST.

[@corystovall3544]

The ending is perfect.

[@rawn4203]

Had butler scored a TD, clemson at least had time to score a tying TD. Him getting tackled inside the 5 was a great thing for FSU. RIP to coach bowden and anybody else involved in his masterpiece of a game between 2 titans.

[@BigBlackRod]

I was in Roosevelt's Tavern in Gainesville, in a pile of Gator fans. Even though it was the Noles, one of our chief rivals, the place went buck wild when it happened...

[@FSUSean2112]

I've seen a lot of trick plays and well I'm not that old I'm 27 but I thought in my opinion the best trick play was the Boise State lateral vs Oklahoma in 2008 and then the play afterwards and also oregon Dennis Dixon the statue of liberty, but the puntrooskie definitely beats both by alot

[@nickbrown9163]

I was a boy of 13 or 14. On the game broadcast the camera wasn't on Butler. The footage here is of an alternate camera. In other words the camera was on the wrong guy for 2 or 3 seconds. It was crazy. You know it's a true trick play when you fool the camera man.

[@BigDaddyDoc93]

People forget that Bobby Bowden made his bones at FSU by winning games he wasn't supposed to win by making gutzy calls that nobody else would dream of...... That and lots and lots of speed on his teams

[@holyshit860]

rip coach!

[@andrewayers2149]

fsu ran the puntrooskie .....we did...we did................clemson fell for it....yeah...they did they did

[@jonhohensee3258]

Were Bobby's pants made out of garbage bags? 3:55

[@duaneholcomb8408]

Bobby used to be known for trick plays and beat teams he wasn't suppose to by using trickery,he was a genius,, at pulling a rabbit out if a hat,,on the ball field,

[@F40PH-2CAT]

Why are photos from 1988 in black and white?

[@marcuspope83]

Actually number 36 was in great shape because he didn't go for the fake he coudnt catch him

[@JesusLovesU0777]

👊respect

[@drpepsi1860]

What was this documentary called?

[@cubbyhuffines]

No 100% positive but sounds like a college game day segment

[@chandlerwhite8302]

Bowden has to be one of the dirtiest con-men in the history of college football, but he is also one of the funniest con-men in the history of college football. Like a charming 1870’s riverboat gambler who helps a lady into the boat but steals her bracelet at the same time.

[@primebeef3938]

HA!

[@rooh5825]

Not as good as the Fumblerooski though, why? Cameraman wasn't fooled heh heh.
