Florida State in the 90's was pure hell to play. Would play anyone, anywhere, which is partially the reason they didn't win more than 2 NC's in that decade. Consistently had the toughest schedule in the country and had to play BOTH Miami and Florida annually. The nerve of Miami or Florida calling themselves Florida "state" champions when they didn't play each other. Either lost to Miami or Florida and out of the NC picture - so unfair. That and Florida State didn't have a consistently good kicker to save its ever-lovin life!

[@tytratar2114]

One thing I will always remember about this game was the placekicking! The kicker for Florida state, whoever it was, had a horrible game.

Desmond Howard's first TD catch of the game was trapped off the ground. It wouldn't have counted as a TD if they had video replay then, and it sure wouldn't be a TD by today's standards.
