[Music] the crowd is reacting into presence of the Florida Gators in the stadium in the nation they won their first SEC Championship [Music] been barred from the Sugar Bowl by the conference the coaches Galen ball the third game of the season ball has launched seven in a row the Gators big [Applause] come to Seminole [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Bobby Bob ninth season here we record at Florida State 80 31 and to [Music] and let it go as chief Osceola riding renegade is out in the center of the field and when he decides to come and plant the flaming sphere we'll go down and see it Frank Broyles with us as usual on our telecast of CFA football and Frank because of the court-ordered dissolution of the NCAA television plan we started back in September when I suggested maybe this was the year that goose ate the golden egg and that apparently is reasonably accurate except the old goose has come down with a belly ache and you've had a glut of college football on television this year which may pour 10 some problems for the near future compete as a college administrator our problem it's over exposure is likely to hurt the gate attention in so we at the college level are looking for ways to have good television but protect the ticket sales the Florida Gators on the other hand while we have talked now about the new problem the Gators in their situation represent an old problem in college football that has to do with recruiting violations they have been banned from the Sugar Bowl their cases on appeal now with the NCAA but I would think in this ball game because they can't go anywhere else they might just be mad at Hornets either I think the first reaction was been a disappointment but then after time sets in it is anger and if you want a football team to be ready have them mad and that's what we will see out of the Gators today they are however as you say a complete team they're complete on both sides of football but the strength of this team is the biggest offensive line and the most active offensive line and in behind them three outstanding running backs that are big and strong and Florida State's got some real problems because they've got to keep the football away from this unit and do it by ball control I think as far as face one we win Rosabelle stipes their tail backs don't have to rush for over a hundred yards maybe a 175 for their meaning that and also the must point out the toilet has not allowed a single back to rush 400 yards so it's going to be a tough chore for Florida State that's famous football there is no way the Florida State defensive people can let Florida have the football for 35 minutes know they the Florida line outweighs the far state defense by about fifty pounds for a man and the part of me is worried about the wear and tear in the fourth quarter making it easy to make yardage it'll be an interesting ball game but then Bobby Bowden is a man that's got a lot of funny played it is playbook there's chief Osceola he's getting ready in so we now here is one of the more dramatic rituals in college football he's off the horse when a Seminole dismount beaming vision from men's aside as all of the garnet and gold balloons go fluttering up into a gray overcast sky we're ready to play football here in Tallahassee yet the Phil Campbell Stadium and we've got a storm hanging just out over the horizon there that may let us down before much more time goes by we had some rain earlier today the Sun came out right and warm now we've done another storm passing by let's hope that misses the stadium it goes this is a football game that seems to have a little bit of everything Barry Vercoe kicks it off for Florida State kicks it very short and the up man picks it up Rodney Joe comes back up to about the 30-yard line he caught it with his knee down keeping going to bring the ball back we've seen that before this year but first time it's been called there's the starting unit with Neal Anderson one of the running backs and we'll talk about them a lot today they're all good Jarnell Williams will open at fullback Gary roll is a wide receiver 511 170 and Ricky meteo is a sophomore wide receiver and one of their big play people when he caught the ball the knee was down and the first time this year that it's been called we've seen it not going so it's the 20 instead of the 30 and the Gators without enormous offensive line [Music] Jr is plucked down at the 22 yard line Walter Odom too tight in 63 to 35 Crawford cur 6-4 to 85 Jeff Zimmerman six five three hundredths at guard Phil Brown was a 6 to 250 he must be lost in that forest 6 1 to 80 for Bill Henson Lomas brown is 6 5 and 275 and everybody's all-american this year it's second down and eight for the Gators yep and the bull back and penetration causes John Williams to run into one of his own people loses his footing and goes down onto the new degraaf's it's William Stroud Nichols there they down people for the Seminoles with Williams Taylor Jones and Roberson the linebackers with a secondary consisting of Riley Williams Allen and McCreary loss of a yard on that previous play so now it is third down and nine wings one to the sideline get the pass intended for Gary roll and the Gators will have to punt and they will bring out one of the better kickers of this generation young man named Chris well it's a thing that they use a team of kickers one Chris wail kicked from the long distance Nardo knee kicks the short cuts both have been very effective Chris well averaging better than 45 yards per punt Cedric Jones is the deep man for Florida State and Seminoles should come out of here with pretty good field position but Chris well if he hits it and he really didn't get all of it so they aren't going to get good field position he's got some room to run it and comes back to near midfield it was a 39-yard punt and where Chris Wells concerned that's an upset Kirk Coker starts at quarterback a junior Cletus Jones the full-back they need yardage out of Jones today Roosevelt Snipes replacing Greg Allen as the starting tailback Allen with a knee injury Hassan Jones a split end 6-1 200 and Jessie Hester is the blade at six feet 170 and the big play man has burning speed and so Florida State starts at their own 49 this first quarter here they faked the reverse keeping the ball strike and Rosie Snipes gets around the corner in picks up seven yards up front for the Seminole Pete Fenton is the tight end 62 225 john i Inara at tackle 6-3 to 17 Jamie Dukes at guard with a sore ankle 6 1 to 17 bearish barwick the center six feet to 70 only sophomore Dan Morris at guard 6 1 to 45 and Jimbo Thompson 6 7 and 2:30 second down and three and Coker pizza class deliver the pass the ball is loose they're going to call him down they're going to call him down at the 45 it looked like it could have been a loose football where the rule says that the quarterback is arm is raised and any motion started forward it's an interface pass so I don't know how they got the ruling then he was down let's see it again a little bootleg maneuver the receivers were open the coca did not throw it in behind 62 Mitch knocked the ball loose and I think that's a fumble looks like a fumble the lead third down and four now and Here Come quarter-sized lien drops the ball is loose in the air Florida's got it ball pumping up into the air and roughing back on the Florida State 48 and the Gators jump all over it mark for the senior from Odana Hills California coltd running the option play like the tailback is going to turn inside too quick and the pitch is a little bit hard Coppa pitches it out it goes a little bit behind sides he did not make the catch and the Gators have the best chance to get in there recover and again there are huge raindrops starting to fall so it's gonna get very wet here in just a moment already as the Florida Gators come up now the ball is marked just inside the 48 of Florida State as the Seminoles mistake themselves into a prop they held the Gators in the first series Lorenzo - Asian the eye back now or the Gators goes over the 45 and there is a penalty flag the referee is Paul Schmidt it's offside Florida State Pete Williams the umpire Joe Pipkin senior the linesman rowdy Baynes the line judge bill Lange the field judge Ted Thomas the back judge first they're all from the southern independent or Legion officials association thought a state must have lined up all sides deep I have saw no movement before the staff mr. Mendell we welcome water back against the Frenchman what a sacred year he's had they pitch it outside for number 22 John Williams and he slashes for the first down as he goes inside the 35 and out of bounds at the 30 for Jarnell Williams maybe the best all-purpose fullback that we've seen all year weighs 222 pounds is called nineteen massive has rushed for over a five yard average good Flaco but he doesn't have the ball he's blocked the linebacker Aniyah no pass protection he's the businessman on the Florida team in each ball game here his numbers for the season just inside the 30 for Florida State first down for the Gators [Applause] Kerwin Bell little pop down below the pass is complete to Frankie deal his way touchdown Florida [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] kind of an interesting story today both teams separate quarterbacks all over the place they have four or five of them but both the starters in today's ballgame Bertrand Bell who came out of nowhere to win the job he fought back is more mental than physical you can see the physical part of his skills but the mental part of it makes the quarterback Bobbie Raylan for the extra point and it's good so you've got 12 minutes and 8 seconds to play in the first quarter as Kerwin Bell hooks up with Frankie Neal on what will be a 33 yard dash runway for the touchdown first down both fake to the sweet linebackers coming up good throw Neal is outstanding receiver probably the most talented in the part on the Florida and he need to see his playing ability number 21 catches the ball to safety man McCray misses a tackle then he walks in for the touchdown waltzes in I should say they made it look easy did somebody bust a play in a secondary no the linebackers were filled up on the line of scrimmage and the safety man who had to make the tackle missed it Neal just gave him a lowly limp leg and pulled it back and the safety van went into the ground and he'll quit ere the telephone numbers for the BYU poll as whether or not the Cougars ought to be ranked number one and they had to put in some extra lines because the telephone traffic as you would expect was quite heavy from the state of Utah so they've added those two numbers at the bottom of the picture the rest of the country responding yes and no to those numbers at the top of the picture and I am frankly startled at the number of calls that have been received and probably in reality at least that many or more have been delayed or turned away because they simply didn't get through what is the TT that did we have an Espanola Dominic that well last time it was around 300,000 last I heard here's the kickoff now by women no it's Chris Perkins she does the kicking off its kicks short Florida State comes up with it it's Dwayne Denson brings the ballot ball back across the 20 and out to about the 23 Florida isn't particularly interested in kicking the ball into the end zone their philosophy on the kicking game is keep it in play Keith they have a great philosophy tactic I think if the defensive receipt to see if the receiving team moves over to the side of the field they take it across like they did then if it's receiving team doesn't move although they take it right down the boundary where it restricts the field and they can compress the coverage and they've led the nation coverage on kickoff the gilded falls are a hundred and sixty-six thousand plus keep with averaging over 40,000 and hours and crumbs all in it I don't like guys that reaction is so strong both sides all right his first down for the Seminole State Trail seven or nothing and cooker hens the ball inside to Cletus Jones the full-back and this is a very key man today in what Florida State feels they have to do that fullback has got to pick up some yards for them but rain is just melting down keep Florida State is a has good balance between running the pass 65% running 35% past if they can't set up the runs their passing is no good as we look at Bobby Bowden what a fantastic year that he has had well you said to earlier that most of their pastures were play-action so if you're not getting something out of the one play out for business don't mean it that that's exactly right that we made must establish the wrong [Applause] over there as flex comes up across the 40 and we'll have a first down but let's see about the penalty now while we're looking at the penalty Roosevelt's knives is an exciting football player tremendous breakaway speed Oh on this week one of the things it's alignment often do on the sweet play where they have to really lock old to the defensive man so that they get let's see the left of the screen Alonzo Johnson number 93 is a great football player there goes the left arm out if they're going to use that hands they have to put it within the frame of the body inside the arms now with a grab a hold on it right there there it is the right hand right hands got the number 9 and that is holding and what was it keep 5 or 15 in your building up and it cost him a first down as well Snipes has run for over 150 yards in the last two ballgames the ball is marked now back inside the 20 near the 18 [Applause] and poker gives it the snipes again and again you've got a penalty flag as once again roosevelt once for a big game but again it's a linesman throwing the flag Keith the right Ian jumped offside for Florida Alonso jumps inside linebacker jumped offsides he was a little bit here he is number 93 very eager to get back in that backfield he leads a team in sacks he leads a team in tackles he's playing the same position as all Americans will the marshal played last year and with one game ago he has already recorded as many sacks as will the ditch during the last season it's raining so hard now it's hard to see the marker across the field it's third down and about looks like 12 Vince Williams Williams moki Johnson the secondary reflected there here's Coker and the driving rainstorm handing the ball inside and carrying his Jones and Jones is held after about a 2-yard pickup Keitha was 3rd and 1 we cannot see the down markers because the Florida team is out so close they cannot even see the thing tainted we can't see it at all no it was third in one yeah one of them a little bit shy but they go to measure there's the rain you can see coming down in Torrance weather was so pretty and sunny after that first rain shower today and now it's a deluge and they're just short when Florida State lines up to punt they're going to be kicking the ball to the number one report return in the nation and Ricky in the teal very much the type of player this dangerous can make any play either reception or a punt return goal for the district 96-yard touchdown pass against Georgia on interception he's a sophomore five nine 180 out of Archer Florida louis barry averaging just under 43 yards the putt now in the kick for Florida State with ten thirty nine to play and the Gators leading 7 to nothing on a 33 yard scoring strike bell ring Frankie Neal Frankie deal deal is off of it the receiver part of just like bars fate used for wide receivers just got our first flash of lightning high snap but it's handled nicely by Barry and he gets off a fairly decent kick considering the elements as meteo takes it on the 30 and sits down right there 37 yard fire louis very and we've got a timeout on the possession talking with coach Bobby Bowden the Florida State yesterday I asked them about the intensity of the training coming into the game there's a lot of difference between the intents and intents we want our boys intense but not tense because every time we get tense we fumble now we've dropped passes and we can't execute so our boys have shown some intensity and I think they'll play with intensity I've got to just be careful it's not to text Paul's arrows and in this kitchen mother well they've had an example of tints already haven't they a couple of penalties and a fumble on first down the Gators go to work from the 30 and the pitch comes back to Neal Anderson and the 215 pounder from the graceful Florida rushes on it they done I think slashes the right word for him he really cuts through that hole that's a good turn key become teeth because the Florida office even though they threaten why'd they embarrass all seen in there that feels too big running backs to cut back seldom do they try to go around and mostly inside place rain continuing to pour down it looks like it might be a sizeable second down and take it over the left side and stepping in as Fred Jones the sophomore linebacker from my n is to stop Neal Anderson oh they'll be looking at third down and about four when you face the Florida opposite line which averages to 82 it has good quick beat you must stun on defense and you must try to get in the gap and let your linebackers make the tackle keep that was a perfect sample Fred Jones fill that hole for no game now they go wide an obvious passing play a third some heat now gets his pass away [Applause] as the pass is intercepted no he didn't hold on he dropped it but there's a flag there keep his interference on one of the other they were both struggling to try to get opened and let's see who they called it over definitely interference on one of the other Florida State man may have backed into an or they've called a hole on the Florida State Seminoles keep it they both both the receivers and the defensive back were just struggling that let's see if we can detect check it out right here 21 Neal slips a little bit now he's going out the scramble over side and let's see the interference weave runs right by and you can see the defensive back grabs him right there good call by the fishes number eight Rowley good scramble by Bell though keep left to play develop it avoiding the loss it is raining Maurice Carney see across the field fell back [Applause] inside the tender Florida State but the de Blanc dad be back at the line of scrimmage Neal is discipline on out jump Jarvis William that number 17 is just a freshman but you can see the speed he'll run flight time and then he stopped and Williams number 17 when he made a bad timing on the jump but the plays against it all back coming back the penalty is against Florida we've had a lot of penalties I guess that's intensity that Bobby Bowden was mentioning dick ball game like this sometimes get penalties early the Gators would have had the ball first and goal at the Florida State seven instead they're backed up now wiping out a 43 yard pick up on that fast play Jarvis Williams the right hat fact that got beaten on that particular pace had four interceptions he's had an outstanding year for a freshman coach is a very competent in place for that occasion he just kind his junk wrongly it'll be first down and 15 with a ball at the Florida 44 Gators are leading 7 to nothing 8 minutes and 45 seconds right now I would suggest a rain delay I'm with you I've never seen penalty flag again as the Gators take another big joy with came out of the pocket of the Rupp Arena lines up behind the offensive backfield and it's against Florida let's go down to Tim forehand and see what it's like on the field key for Timmy hey listen you guys talked about how hard it is raining there's no question about that but it also rained prior to the game in the field was in bad shape then it's Bermuda grass it has a high crown so it's coming off here to the side but the footing is still very very poor Frank and Keith in the middle of the field they do have on their long plates which is helping somewhat but every players come off has told me that the pudding is very very treacherous this is terrible you're going to be fun to ride look he battle ever never seen it rain this hard first down in tornadoes as they go up the middle with a pullback Jarnell Williams carrying and he's out to about the 43 and it'll bring up second down and long second down at about 17 water state will full word on their defensive strategy of getting split when they go into a stun if they can just aboard the big play they think they can do a decent job of containing the Florida copy [Applause] that go spell deploy on secondment long and the passage in completes the pass intended for the full-back john williams swinging out and Jesse Solomon came in and laid a lick on kerbin Bell I'm sure that Mouse coaching in this ball game I'd be glad to have the seven-point leave right now chief is the Gators have outscored the opponents in the first part about unbelievable number of 90 what was at 92 19 tells you something about the gameplay I can barely see the feet fell back to thrall goes deep with it and it is anything great in a fence call people one of the begins flag drop it looks like on the 28th 29 yard run is that a flag or not just be a puddle it's not a flag photo okay Earl Williams is covering Gary role on the play it is just raining at an incredible rate Cedric Jones is deep now as Florida comes out to fight and breakfast well gets it away the bones will let it go and it's gonna roll out of my down around the six or seven year in line at 52 yard punt by Ray Chris where he is an offensive weapon here a couple of fellas at Bobby Bowden would certainly like to have in uniform today a great running back Greg Allen who has had knee surgery and on disenzo with a big lineman there's some possibility I guess that Greg Allen could come back for the Citrus Bowl game against Georgia but right now the Seminoles have a major problem they have terrible weather conditions right now the ball is back up on their six yard line it's it'll be a miracle as they can handle it well back this territory the Roosevelt snipe gets a great block and stripes comes around the corner and picks up a first down but there is a penalty flag thrown again by one of the linesman Keith I've never seen so many flags dropped in the first eight seven and a half minute little over seven and half minute the quarter evident excuse me if our state was left in a holding on the sweep play again look like they flank for this time well Chris Wells punt has pinned them deep and now they come out and get themselves a first down and somebody's poor holding and it's half the distance they're back on the three and I don't see anything anywhere that suggests this rains gonna stop anytime soon you can just barely see the field forget seeing across the peekaboo [Applause] hooker ends it inside carrying his Cletus Jones he bangs it out to about the eight or nine as Georgia Tech is rolling over Georgia well that is a surprise Georgia Tech has had a good year but closer than a close ballgame there's your surprise yes it is ray Perkins came back what a big ball game in that intrastate Wilder and army going to a bowl and Boston College got it going in the second half to be Holy Cross hooker pitches the ball the sniper Snipes cuts will Cutler and runs it up to the 19 that will be a first down Roosevelt's life number twin is not very big about 175 pounds or 80 not supposed to be a good but up but he has made some good runs already made a good cut watch this cut right here in the mud now large satan has got to open up a little bit of a gash there because there's not his biggest in the florida backs as you can see it make people miss him hold on the book ball and make a nice game at its first down for the Seminoles out on there 19 Florida leading in this ball game first corner of play seven to nothing they got the touchdown before the rain and going up the middle with it is Cletus Jones and he pumps a big one and he's got another Seminole first down out across the 30 Cletus Jones runs in the first leg of the auction played a little bit of a crap wife saying the line back that gets blocked by the tackle coming in al nada and Jones is in the secondary finally brought down I sepal misses him and Nathan white makes the tackle but not the ball first down at the 32 yard line too big first half keep coming off the goal line very important from the three yard line they moved it out to the 32 [Music] it's snipes again gets a good block on the corner and he's not gonna bounds at the 45 [Applause] well that's a tremendous run I'm just surprised at that part of state look at the water piece that shows what the players are faced with and you have to give him credit water state coming off their goal line stripes and Jones all the lady good blocking here by 42 Jones watch him right babe knocks the line back to talkback good flock I couldn't see the number by one of the guards pulling out number 53 and it's first down at the 45 that's charge before back he's got four yards as he goes to the 49 the defensive people though are gotta lose a little bit in this kind of weather we're slow the offensive people the problems you have offensively with the red ball it eliminates much of you off it you've got to have safe running plays things that you can operate it kind of cuts down on you pass it so the defense can crowd the line of scrimmage the offensive line and lose their footing keep it smart I'm amazed if they vacancies good blocks because the pudding is what makes for an offensive lineman successful block the offense is very limited and then in under these conditions second down at about eight I think this is snipe and he crosses midfield and gets to about the Florida 48 he's got to go down to the Florida 45 to get his first and needs three more yards where are the Chicago Bears are in the playoffs and the NFL they've won their Central Conference Central Division in the National Conference and they go west to play the San Diego Chargers [Music] their pride style oh the Athan ball game it's the one versus the past maybe season fo Monday Night Football types now five carries and fifty yards third down and three poker rolls it out dumps a pass off the masses caught by the tide it is 85 Pat Carter the big freshman in sixth floor 230 and the Seminoles have a first down just inside the Florida 41 of those bootlegs without a personal protective you can see this Coco's roll into the right without any blockers in front of it now he just lobs a ball oh that's not always those those kind of passes that you want to throw Carter's a big preswick idea 250 pounds according to his coach awaiting teeth yesterday gained 50 pounds since he's been on their training paper and the Seminoles first down near the Florida 38 Coker makes it up the mole and joined the bull back pops it big down inside the 30 down to the 27 another Seminole first down here's Jim in our national telephone poll on the question of whether BYU deserves to rank number one the yeses are closing the gap on the nose we remind you there are four active telephone numbers two of which can be used by anyone anywhere including those of you in Utah two of which are for Utah only and we are told that the trunk situation in Utah is still very difficult you having trouble getting through keep calling we're not deciding whether or not the number one here only giving us all something to talk about Keith here's a hand dr. Roosevelt Snipes and Snipes with the surge gets only a yard or so as they're now really beginning to splash around and what is going to become a very muddy football field this is Bermuda grass though and it may hold up pretty well and finally we get a little crack in the storm and it quit on us after a while I hope then a 56 Newton that middle line middle guard puts the son of flock there and comes in and makes a great play 10 unit through the second team all-conference last year and possibly an all-american second leading tackler it's second down and about nine Kocher pitches the ball back to Snipes again Roosevelt gets one block with slips out of the back their hands and get him quick foregrounds good running by snipe and them right up the middle Jones and they can good run now here's the Johnson down the 93 probably the best defensive player on the Florida football team keeps his position now he comes out the line and save them possibly a big roll no get some help from the quarterback witness all moose down inside the 23 of Florida now it's third down back goes Coker down the middle of the pass good the Carter the tight in Carter goes down in a big splash at about this 18 going to be close to his horse down his tack Carter nine reception for 138 yards just the press for a true freshman coach told me yesterday he put him on the scales that his game he came in at 235 he's 252 key distance rookie but what a potential football player he is all the piston moves you need gonna be short that much if I can see the other side of filled with yes [Applause] the water just running off the field and running into the skipper that's because of the turtle backfield the waters draining right over to the side and the dreams on the side cannot pick up the water fast enough we're gonna have a flood out to feel the rain much more it's fourth down and two feet and the Seminoles are going this is the 13th play of this possession before in a state with two and a half minutes to play in the first quarter digit to Roosevelt Snipes he's got his first down as he penetrates to the 16 brought a mead into a gap defense and it was a perfect call by Bobby Bowden stay up going outside and cutting back soonish snipe so just a little bit of a light heel or - old and came in for the necessary yardage for the first man there's number 20 Keith he's had eight brushes 58 yards in this rainstorm against one of the best defensive teams in America that is brilliant really something to be proud off ball is on the 15 precisely first down for the Seminoles [Applause] leading by seven hooker ends it inside to the pullback and there's a gain of two there's a little frightening sky the rain is less now than it has been for the last half an hour for the Florida defense is basically a technique playing défis keep these two very little stunning they have so much confidence in the size and speed of a lineman linebackers they play straight football and farter speech doing a good job of blocking him and getting a little crease and making some yardage second down and eight ball on the 13 pipes again to the ten if he had been able to get footing and cut back to his right he might well have scored well here's old spotting himself Tim Brant chuck sweep teeth rather we've talked about the field in the conditions that you mentioned what it was like on the field if you could see this this is what the players have to look forward to when they come off the bench air is completely flooded is almost up to my knees and the trainer's are trying to get the equipment all up on top of the benches because the waters halfway up something they probably weren't prepared Corky no I don't think so how can you prepare for a deluge like that ball is on the ten-time outfall by Florida State with 55 seconds to play they are looking at a third down and five on the Florida ten the offing as Florida State comes up on third down and five at the Gator ten Gator show blitz they fall out of it gets his pass off into the corner and it is too long [Applause] it's against Florida deep the ball was not catchable so I would think he had wiped it all that would have so true but it was it happened out of bounds gonna call it against Ricky Eastman I believe is checking Darrin Holloman Holloman was going on the fade route the same pattern that we saw Oklahoma State score on the last play of the half and Kofi just trying to lay the ball up to the boundary right in the corner Eason is the senior [Applause] keep I think the call is that Eason did not turn and play the ball had Easton turned and played the ball I don't believe they was called any penalty but the fact that he made contact looking the other way not playing the ball most officials will call the flag but they penalize them to the two yard line the new rule is not no penalty inside the two unless the plate originates inside the two and its first and goal for Florida State [Applause] [Music] fumble Lorna's Bennet quarterback hooker coughs it up he couldn't come away from the center snare for the ball Bart number 78 a freshman at Belle Glade Florida coast honored for the Gators and the Seminoles after starting from their own fighting rainstorm have it first and goal at the two and turn it over he thought believe it was a moment of a busted play coaches know that is snap the ball over ten times and he had increased the probability of the fumble almost eight many times over and that's exactly what happened you can execute perfectly up the middle with Jones outside was typed and the wet ball had something to is an option plate was coming up coca lost the handle and couldn't fall on it 15 plays 92 yards six minutes and 43 seconds and some of the wind goes out of the sale as the Gators gonna start with Johnny Williams from the six and he punches his way out close to the nine let's go back and look at the interference call again the defense it back incidental bumping is not a penalty but if the defensive back is not playing the ball Eastern number eight is not playing the ball right now he's running right into the receiver he must afford to receive if he doesn't play the ball any contact right there since he's not playing the ball is an automatic foul second down at about seventh of the Gators out near their own they stay with the ground game as Lorenzo Hampton a 210 pound senior find some wiggling room and comes out close to a first down as he gets across the 15 first quarter is over here in Tallahassee and the Florida Gators lead the Seminoles seven to nothing where we can see the new Statehouse Tallahassee being the state capital city that new building erected during governorship rubenesque beauty and it's been a while since we've been able to see that how long SMC across the field here are the numbers we can see the flower state had the best of it except on the scoreboard when they couldn't catch the end post to the goal line Gators try to take it up the middle with Lorenzo Hampton carrying and Fred Jones steps in there and hops in just over the line of scrimmage it was third down and about one and the spot looks like it might very well give him a first down it will measure however it's that close yes and I don't know now it'll be close ought to be close deep the Florida State Office did what they were supposed to do except when they got close you got to stick it in the end zone you move from one in the field the other you need to put it in there obviously but they did keep the Florida offense over on the bench at big offensive line and those very talented running backs they've got the first down Kerwin Bell a freshman out of Des Florida he's 63 190 was a big fella he was thrown into the starting lineup on Wednesday when the starting quarterback domine was injured he had three days notice to fool the mind a football game and went in and played a very credible performance and has been gaining confidence from his teammates coaches and fans and himself ever since that part first down now for the Gators the ball is out just beyond the 16 hand the ball off to the eye back and bolting up the middle goes Hampton and when he goes down he slides along for another yard or two georgia tech beats georgia 3518 in awhile since the wreck beat the Bulldogs he thought don't ask how long how many years five six both hours from Georgia we oughta know six six years made your alma mater I know it there's been a long time Alabama coming up with a win over Auburn today and army beat Navy now Alban did knock down the Super Bowl to thieve now LSU is in the occipital and organ goes to the Liberty to play the Razorbacks and coming the corner carrying the ball as Jarnell Williams brought down by Eric Williams and he's going to have another Gator purse now this is what Florida can do to you they can just grind it out and they're up on the 31 yard line now that's the style of play with a big offensive line averaging 282 pounds three running backs two fresh pale backs to keep in there all the time with Anderson and Hampton just alternating every six plays so that they could pound the way actually lean on yin pound away they set him up almost 7-yard feet I pack and here it goes again and here's a penalty flag that one came from the umpire right all the opposite sutter it look like yep we might have a dash of sunshine yet before the day it expires we need it the Florida State defense Keith is out way so that they just cannot play that basic defense they've got to move over and shave and try to get some penetration through the gaps and cause something to happen when you do this the risk is that the offensive team cuts you off and splits a little area and you in that second there for a long game that's what flora state has to be concerned with [Music] so the Gators are backed up by the holding ball just beyond their own 20 now where it is first down and 20 got to go to the 40 just affect to the 41 lauter state showing the five manhunt now is Lorna goes double wide to the top of the picture but hand the ball being Russell down as John Williams the fullback and they've got him right around the 23 yard line here again Jim branch Keith they just finished working on number 20 Rosie Snipes the running back for Florida State you know the situation the record-breaking all-american Greg Allen he's out with just Arthas Kovac surgery two weeks ago so there's a lot of pressure on Snipes to stay healthy in this ball game and in that end of the first quarter when the fumble was loose he went after it bode has backed the wrong way and he says it's sprained a little bit but he's really walking now you can see him on the sidelines he's gonna be back in the ball game thank you Tim let's put the ball on the 22 now 19 yards for the first down [Applause] [Music] Bell fumbles it picks it up and they get him inside the 20 he dropped the snap really slick wet and muddy there's your whole numbers as we continue the the question of should be why you'd be ranked number one the Utah only using the bottom two numbers and the rest of the nation the top two numbers and this is what's been going on now we're over 200,000 calls already with the nose leading the esses that's just an opinion poll nothing scientific about it there are another fumble and the Seminoles colluding in and may have it all Florida's bookkeeping referee is calling it brought us all here again is that problem the wit ball the son of private get out and step the ball and they could walked at the same time just difficult that's the toughest thing you have to do in a wet on wet field this gets the ball the transaction between the sunna and the quarterback but he I think they'll head that heap he gets dropped it going back I believe the snap was good lucky to get the ball back all right Chris well is in to punt the Gators and Cedric Jones soggy conditions and still raining and the balls gonna roll across midfield and roll dead at the Florida State 47 that was a 37-yard punt no no it was a bad snap you can see on that play the ball did not hit the hands of Kerwin Bell to Florida back to hit his leg and with life to the ground we've got 1106 to play in the first half with the gators leading the Seminoles seventh or nothing the Florida State Seminoles have set Eric Thomas out now at quarterback Thomas having recovered from a hip corner the Florida Gators leading in this ball game 7 nothing their season ends after this game for the state goes on to play Georgia in the Citrus Bowl Thomas is thrown for 13 touchdowns and only three interceptions this year the first three Florida State possessions resulted in a fumble punt and a phone that won't get it done deep no not when you've done it all you got to play their flawless game if you expect to beat the favored team bar we've got a snap it out of a puddle pitch comes back to Roosevelt Snipes and the Florida Gator defensive flow is outstanding and they may have him for yard or so loss on the play Florida Gators have appealed by the NCAA of course that appeal will be heard and the true extent of those sanctions by the national body will not be known for some time but the Southeastern Conference imposed its own sanctions on Florida and that included keeping them out of the Sugar Bowl but they do claim their first Southeastern Conference championship ever and back those Eric Thomas on second down and 11 nobody to throw the ball to hit and fumbles the football and it's gonna remain in the possession of Florida State outstanding coverage by the Florida secondary one of the things the Florida coaches told me if there's anything on our team we are concerned about is the pass coverage Tennessee since them out in the passing teams have hurt their coverage in their secondary and they've made a lot of yardage and so they I guess they're glad the rain is here deep because it does hamper the passing of Florida State good coverage that child boertie is the team that struck to the big play shopton Bell - Frankie Neil 33 yard touchdown on the settle nothing lead this is was about snipe running for well and snacks runs it up to about the 47 48 yard line which will be roughly the original line of scrimmage here on ABC we have the Gator Bowl for you on in primetime on Friday night December 28 matches South Carolina Gamecocks and the Cowboys of Oklahoma State and on January 1st of course at 8 Eastern 7 central time we'll have the Sugar Bowl and the pairing now set in the Sugar Bowl the Restless corn Huskers playing my you Bengals of LSU Auburn losing today to Alabama and that took him out of the Sugar Bowl Gary's foot is in the air Cybil backs up for the Gators bhakti is only 9 8 weeks to the 8th and ready fumble you have fun with it they're scrambling for the ball that I believe that the referee had called they have a single one his signal Florida fake balls [Applause] [Music] Florida State after nine and you've got a Seminole shaken up that's Jerome McCoy slow to get up Cybil number 25 is a senior quarterback they put him back to handle the ball so that they would assure of good good handling of it good experience back there let's see where the ball pops out it came it came loose on that solid hit by two Seminole players the ball popped right out McCoy was one of those making the hit and he's now being helped off the field he has twenty five seven one on the right piquillo just popped the ball right out cannot see the number looks like it 28 leave it clogs buddy hey Rocky kid man faint the hit that knocked it out knocked the ball out and his first down and goal for Florida State as the Gators turned it over now all on the Florida nine nothing ballgame the Gators leading law did not pitch Florida has tech down into question in 17 water [Applause] they blitz it they beat the Blitz by handing it inside to the full-back and he doesn't get much Jones bangs in for a yard that's all they've Kenzi number that's time a 3830 Gowen yes he's the one whose headgear goes right into the ball symbol being a senior a former quarterback should have protected that football under these conditions both hands over it so it could not have been knocked out now you've got the big freshman Carter going into the ball game with Galen white coming out for Florida State let's see whether or not they put him into the play here Jessie Hester has not seen the ball as yet for Florida State because the weather conditions haven't allowed much passing but now reg Thomas rolls it out wants to throw it does throw it into the end zone and it's incomplete the pass intended for Pete Pitman so they had a double tide in alignment and Canton couldn't come down with it I guess I thought there's another flag good coverage by the Florida second ball hold the little bootleg pass without a personal protective conduct as rolling out trying to get one-on-one situation they pick it up now there's no penalty so they eat the flag once again the Florida defenses as we say in Cochin rise into the occasion with stopping the run forcing Florida State into passing situations is the gate of defense is not allowed of running back to rush over 100 yards this season is louder with three rushing touchdowns and none in the last 17 quarters it is now third down and goal Florida State Thomas gives if the Snipes and slash runs it into the middle of the field and stopped at the six yard line it'll bring up fourth down and almost surely the place-kicking unit will come on Cybil made the stop for Florida well the Seminoles were down first and goal on the Florida - turned it over after driving from their own three now in comes Derrick Schmidt he's the top freshman scorer in the nation with 88 points this will be a 23 yard try with Coker holding keep the lazin thing about this young press but he kicked the first attempts in the early in the season and a roll bangs the whip ball up and through and the Seminoles get on the scoreboard with 7 minutes and 42 seconds to play in the first half it is now 7 3 the Gators lead [Applause] Kerwin Bell number 12 walk-on freshman the glue is coach Galen Hall says this about the young man we do not ask her and do a great amount of things but what we do ask him to do he can perform and I think as the season went along up I'm sure that the players question Kirwan ability early but I think as as a season went along he has shown our players that heat they can depend on him and I think that has you know just gelled our football team that there they do believe refer you Galen Hall of course offensive coordinator at Oklahoma for 18 seasons prior to that was at West Virginia and of course you played quarterback at Penn State he knows something about it here's the kickoff by the Seminoles now it's a relatively short kick taken at the 90 a wide receiver and he comes back up to about the 22 here's Jim Whitley two hours left in our telephone pole on the question of whether or not you believe Brigham Young should be ranked number one remember not a scientific sampling only a reflection of the sentiments of those of you who are able to get through on the telephone lines busy signals still the norm there are four telephone numbers those of you outside of Utah can use only the top two those of you in Utah can use any of the four telephone numbers keep calling as we continue to have fun with this back to Keith Jackson and here come the Gators now first down generic 2273 Florida leading but he has put the football at the Florida State sixteen Martin Mayhew was the man that came across 50 Oh with the angle and Neil Hansen weighs 212 pounds 63 yard run could cut once the block is made right there by number 74 Jeff Zimmerman the big offensive guard pulley you can see the speed as 43 McCreary misses the tackle now Mayhew 32 is the only one that's got against the all tie fact comes and knocks it out of bounds to pull the score outstanding blocking by the left side Brown of the line brown and also penciled 727 to go as part of responding now the Seminoles field and they're sitting on the Florida State 16 yard line first down Neal annasmith had an 80 yard touchdown run against Tennessee he's rushed for 822 yards he also is the fourth leading rusher in Florida history right now what a fine run that wall double wide for the Gators the eye back position the beat and he's got the ball and he's inside the 10-yard line the nine picked up seven yards before Henry Taylor brought him down Galen Hall told me yesterday that the sub D D fit the offensive act alternates in sale substitution says it's 58 Taylor the leading tackler for the Seminoles gets called inside momentarily then bounces back to the outside and does he help him to play yes he finally makes the play along with McCreary number 43 but Addison at that long-run Keith took himself out Hampton ran in Anderson's back now and Anderson has the ball and he hits the head for the six and he'll be close to a first down I take it running 63 yards on a soggy field there's a good point it makes it gets hard and he took himself out the one play and the coach has put him back in after that run he ought to have a chance to score that's why we coach his fight give him the chance he earned it there he is BLM's son look what this up you can see what he has done his career and he is just the junior chain stretched out looks like a first down it is 6 minutes and 40 seconds to play in the first half that long run Keith is exactly what coach Bobby Bowden told me yesterday he feared the most if those big facts find a little crease that using the power to break the line of scrimmage and then turning on the speed that they have three of the best running backs of his team probably seen this year at least the biggest offense well there you see the water now has brightened off considerably good drainage system I'd like to know what it is here's the pitch goes to Anderson Anderson is hammered at the five back to spilly Baylor and Joe well the two line back did you guess couldn't play asleep any better the linemen anchored leaving the linebackers a chance to fill the hole and they made a hit up tackle on the Anderson and brought him down at mediately it second down and goal from the five ball obligate errs people say mr. 14 maybe as good as anybody keepin it quick [Music] fell back Rob's it in the end zone good taught by William [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Bobbe Raymond now for the extra point try the holder is the punter ray Criswell when a chip shot is up and good so at 5:44 ago in the first half the Gators increased the lead to 14 degree a little bootleg pass to the bowl back in the flat this forces the line back at Jones to try to cover in that you can see that he had a little bit of an edge on it the pass was perfect and brilliant snakes again the end zone for the eyes 14 to 3 [Music] [Applause] the Florida Gators ticket 78 yards in five plays the big play being a 63-yard sprint by Neal Anderson Jarnell Williams got the touchdown and now the Gators will kick it off the Florida State with Roosevelt Snipes the deep man Keith the walk won't quarterback turn bail through his 15th touchdown pass and that went one up on Steve's Furius 14 in 1971 a 1965 beautiful way back [Applause] [Music] here's your kick off by perkins he kicks it away from sight it is picked up by number 21 very far enough to feel it'll be short of the 15 again here's Jim one fascinating note on a Division one double a quarterfinal game Keith Middle Tennessee beat Indiana State 40 to 41 in triple overtime the overtime format if you go into overtime tied each team gets the football at the 15-yard line with four downs to score first overtime they both got touchdowns 28 28 second overtime again both touchdowns 35 35 third overtime Indiana State missed a fake extra point kick attempt and they lost by one point back to you Keith playoff like that Ethan's exciting from the 14 yard line Florida State Rosi Snipes carries the ball and gets up near the 19 I'll tell you this you talked about the Florida not allowing and running back on hundred yards mr. Snipes is gonna get hungry unless something serious happens but he's got seven an iron already the teeth we talked about earlier then I think it's very important for our state's gonna have a chance to small game they don't have to rush for at least as a team a hundred 50 to 200 yards because they played their passes off their favorite players and they're not looking for the run the claw that is with no success past on second down Eric Thomas shoots one down the little words [Applause] the house is complete joint possession and as a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct against I believe Florida for argued about it Keith that was a most unusual play I don't think I've seen the play the ball was definitely intercepted but then the tie a pilot Aeneas can't switch it one the full clay has bent down to the ball long hop into T Leslie a personal foul penalty and Seminoles are going to move on up field with it which could have been an interception that's a most unusual place Sybil had the ball squirted loose from him Carter went after the two went to the ground fighting over the ball and simultaneous possession goes to the offense here it is again overthrown badly overthrown simple bounces the ball off of his chest managed Justin scrambling and the two players of fighting for the ball and the Florida State player handed it his ball and at the penalty and here the Seminoles now out at midfield first down Florida leading however 14 to 3 with 453 to play in the first half here in commerce the Florida State quarterback that started the first seven games been out with an injury his had a good season and coming back in there he seemed to be regain his confidence he and had missed the last two games the low stop when Moses now gets a yard on the play he stayed after it and picked up a yard and kept the ball here Thomas coming into this ballgame was 74 out of 154 pass attempts 48 percent but it had 13 touchdowns deep and going into the South Carolina game you don't throw one inception that third quarter got both teams if you remember we mean about nine turnovers seemed like in the third quarter South Carolina second down and nine they go to the hole back the Cletus Jones runs it down inside the greater 45 to the 44 Cletus Jones has been making good yardage right up the middle running behind bar week to sunup who is just a sophomore not very tall 6 feet but waist 270 pounds and the best offensive Blanca for Florida State is 64 Jamie Dukes and that to spread that Jones had been making the yardage up the middle right behind those two blockers third down and 4 7 this is types almost but not quite he took a look just as he started to make his cut and he just simply couldn't get past Tim Newton who there's a rock of a man in the middle of the Florida defense he's six feet but he weighs 285 pounds he could see dude limping off just alone but he's had a bad ankle didn't hurt it again in practice on Tuesday the coaches were not sure Johnny the play today but he is like the refrigerator key that she said 6280 85 pounds who knows he gained 10 pounds to me one day all losing [Music] [Applause] here's the punt on fourth down and three and Barry nails it and knocks it well into the end zone and off the field of play 43-yard punt for it at 3:21 to go in the first half and the gators leading the Seminoles 14 to 3 the Florida Gators coach now by Galen Hall who is 7 and old since taking over leaf of Charlie Bella when Charlie was let go the NCAA investigation the Gators in this first half have been averaging on first down players well guys that is the winning edge in any football game and they lead by 14 to 3 because of that Hampton is the I back number seven he's got he that big offensive line they just put al humble out there and by the time he gets to hand fighting your way through to the ball carrier they've got full five six yards keep the big thing about this offensive line that Galen Hall tried to explain to me is they're not just big but they have good feet they're equally effective blocking for the run as well as protecting the passer in fact to the tooth Jim Williams that fullback in Anniston tailback it only lost a total of 11 yards in 10 ballgame that's less than 1 yard per game shows you how effective they have been well if they didn't have Bromley at center at 250 they'd average right at 300 pounds outside comes with play with John Williams and John L is gonna be short of his first down by couple of yards in retail elites the tackles over Seminoles by 51 you can see that he wants to get to the football look at the determination the body lean shooting the gap and come go with a perfect tackle he wraps up a verified run and Williams and pulls into the curve 2:38 to play in the first half haters having won their first SEC championship in the school's history there are two out of five this is third down and two and a half to three don't get it I don't get it as Williams tried to power over the right side and the Seminole stunning on the players turn bring Keith were talking about Timmy Newton he came off limping we just talked he said he got hit on the backside on his knee he heard it he felt something pop a little bit but he says it's alright it's gonna come back in the ballgame he feel strong he looked strong dude thousand off it to Center keep out he'd have to snap the ball and block him - I'd ask for help from the guard please give me a double-team block on that guy somebody'll only their mule play that guy fourth down let the thrones' beat less Criswell hits a line drive Jones is gonna let it alone probably a very wise decision because it is so sucky that it's not gonna roll very far anyway well ABC's Wide World of Sports returns international professional figure skating championships this coming Saturday that'll be next Saturday December 8 and it's it's really an entertaining program that Cousins you've got Princeton you got Babylonia and Gardner pins and pears competition featured on wide world course Robin cousins a 1980 Olympic gold medalist Salah Cranston Olympic bronze medalist hi Babylonia Randy Gardner US Champion [Applause] years fishing history as Florida State tries to get inside the playbook a little bit here and gets the Gators committed inside and doesn't work does Alonso Johnson spoils it Lonzo Johnson I'm sure was waiting on this play the reverse because Florida State has had been Sosa has been so successful with it he reads it perfectly plays the quarterback Thomas off which is a real physical mismatch and makes the tackle as he comes off the would be attempted clock loss on the play takes the ball back to the 17 yard line [Applause] second down [Applause] Eric Thomas goes down the middle of it is picked off and this time it is held by Ricky and a spoon gets it back to the store oh the Seminoles turn it over again that's the third turnover on the ball game [Applause] first and goal of the corridor to the past was very poorly thrown the ball is wet evidently and Thomas just lets it up you can see that it's not anywhere close to be an old target way behind the receiver just thrown it up in the air for an Eastman that intercepted and Florida has another case for the defense as limited Florida State to virtually no big plays and that was a game plan cutting out the big plays prevent the big plays they could win this game 53 seconds to go in the first half Neal Anderson and John Williams or the set backs Kerwin Bell goes back to throw the Gators down the middle with it and it's incomplete and you're gonna get in the lake flag across the field because he had a very well he had a much better view of it as Ray McDonald number nine was being checked by Martin Mayhew and may you banged into him and it's a good bowl a good first down call from that the pass was untouchable so the 15-yard penalty you ruled here it is again [Applause] defensive back is going to come in a plea maybe West a huge number 32 comes into McCollum who makes contact before the ball arrives therefore it is interference 15-yard penalty good call by the broader sample first down after past interception go for the down they used about eight seven seven or eight second so it's 46 seconds to go in the first half Gators are leading 14 to 3 and trying to add another one ball is on the Florida State 15 with Lorenzo Hampton [Music] well back to throat Anderson complete the pass intended for Ricki meteo so it brings up second down now here's Jim alright thanks Keith in case you were out earlier in the day Boston College beat Holy Cross forty five to ten Doug Flutie's career record for passing yardage stopped at 10500 79 yards 11300 17 yards total offense next in line to break those records Bernie Kosar of Miami if he stays at Miami for two more years he was a redshirt freshman so it will be his option whether or not to use that fourth year of eligibility and right now after two years Keith he is fifteen hundred yards ahead of Doug Flutie's pace now we're gonna have a piece at halftime in which we'll talk about the red shirting issue and certainly keep Jackson and Frank Broyles it will be interesting to see what Kosar chooses to do very good point depends on how big that sack of money is when they start talking to it now let's have a look at a campus I was gonna say campus at the University of for freshly did it for 41 seconds now for the Gators the ball of the 15 second Nuka pass away good defense it worked that time by the right cornerback Eric Williams not this thing to do it they went past the fences cover a man-to-man down on the goal line like this particularly with a play of the ability like Neil has he has outstanding leaping ability Jarvis Williams just a freshman but watch it he's right there makes enough of a effort to knock the ball loose went right into the chest and out again of Neal number 21 35 seconds now and it's third down for the Gators at the Florida State what about got a lot of green and he's got a first down deep water has three timeouts left if they need to use them and have not used any of their time out we could just work 25 seconds to go and the Gators have now called a timeout and now while the Gators are talking let us have a tour of the Florida State campus 14 to 3 ballgame 25 seconds to go first half get me kind of dark and ugly looking again we may get more rain here's another look at Bell Florida State covers at the receiver Bell weights he talked sea pups receivers a cupboard now he takes off and runs and is no sliding in for him he offers his head and trying to get hook to the goal line as he possibly could ball is near the three where it's first and goal two more time [Applause] a great play on John Williams by Billy Allen on the 31 [Applause] Bobby Bowden saw playing in a military game when he was in the Air Force in Europe and Bobby remembered him and he showed up and here he is and he just made a big play for the Seminoles but there's a penalty don't be on the far side appeal by the head linesman [Applause] against the Seminoles at the district's teeth that's a tough break for them but 20 seconds and two timeouts left Laura state Britta desperately needs to hold them if they're gonna stay this ball game here it is again great play by Allen coming from the left of your screen pitch out to John Hill Williams a big strong fullback with excellent speed but Alan had Flitz no one there to block him no leaf black box blocker so that it makes the play and Florida now has call time to talk some more they have one timeout remaining and there are 20 seconds to go in this first half where the Gators leading 14 to 3 Chicago Bears and the San Diego Chargers on ABC's NFL Monday Night Football next monday out on the west coast even having some rain out in the west coast wet again San Diego with Dan Powell's fun that a great game on Monday Night Football a couple weeks ago against the Miami Dolphins to give him the only defeat of the year he's something Robin Winslow has gone for the year but mr. joiner still there and having another great season so it'll be great running back Walter Payton against the great passer Dan Heath I guess I was long I was thinking that I saw that game with with San Diego in Miami was Sunday afternoon game I'm usually playing golf I music playing golf balls but he must have been raining I know you're in bed before the London Eye those fell fade first down and goal Anderson Neal Anderson is Chuck down at the two yard line Florida spend Rick's last time out that had got a tough decision I believe I'd go for the tooth for the three points right here but their kicker their accuracy what he's kicked six in a game this year pretty good kicker turbine bella rangy fellow at 63 190 going over to talk to Galen Hall Bobbi Raymond has kicked 15 straight field goals and two times in a single game he's not six in in fact with last ball game Florida played against Kentucky he had six field goals and in this game last year he kicked six field time on NC double-a record and also the Southeastern Conference record know that decide to go for it one more time prodigal try of play-action pass and to do their tail Bell to get the ball release don't get sacked if we receive as the covet throw it back to the end zone and we've got time to kick the field goal after the play field is holding up quite well though despite the deluge we've had I mean it rain we must have had a full inch of rain in about 40 minutes gonna roll out this way [Applause] little quick Rob job into the end zone touchdown Barney oh the keep screen off number eight gets came right in and Brockton did exactly what the coaches have been trying to get bought it the outside man came [Applause] there's gone they've waived it off here it is again number 8 - the number 9 McDonald is going to go in and scream watch him block off right there that's just fine a block as I've seen but that is illegal when the forward pass is thrown therefore is called back 15-yard penalty and loss of them here's the receiver watch our rivals easy touchdown this is something that deeply talked about that was put into the playbook there's a point of emphasis decided get the coach control it keeps it open I'm saying that the coast is peak fit but McDonald goes right in and screams the man all right there it's his responsibility leak the Rouge clearly say he must avoid the defensive back is the responsibility the optician man to avoid the defensive back that gum number nine did not 15-yard penalty and loss of data and loss of touchdown and loss to the touch day it'll be a 34 yard field goal try for Bobby Raymond now and that's what we have for you at halftime he that was the same past that Flores scored against Miami and it was blocked about the same way and went ahead of Miami and then mine he came back and scored to win the ballgame back early in the season [Applause] between 30 and 40 yards Bobbie Raymond is 10 for 10 this year this is a 34-yard and you've already mentioned something is really amazing to me is 15 in a row at this stage at 62 percent of the field goal attempts in Division one are successful more successful last year which blows my mind out of my hell it accurate these people are we've got an old swinging gate thing here no they go back now and do it they can't run the swinging gate from that formation of course you could line up the deep messes and move over very quickly Keith you don't have enough time to get set for the block with seven seconds to go this kick is up and good is on the field again [Applause] offside Florida State kick his good punch remain with five seconds to play in the first half it's now 17 to 3 Florida in this ball game last year Florida State had six turnovers feet and they were trying to avoid this ball game we go eliminate the turnovers and they've had what three already ably three in the first half when you turn the ball over win you the UH adult and turn the ball over it really takes you out of much chance to win if you thought the dog you got to have the billikin to control the clock and a boy turnover and Florida it has an outstanding football team will a killer for the Seminoles was taking the ball at their own free we're going down to the Florida - first and goal and in turning a vote only what was it first down I believe and then Florida State had the ball after recovering a fumble on the 8 yard line of Florida and could get only a field goal level so when you put all those things into perspective the score 17 to 3 and that's about the way the game has been [Applause] Roosevelt Snipes is the deep man they have not kicked it to it Keith this is what we talked about these coach Hill the sidelines signals to the kick of whether he's going to kick it down this hash mark across the field and determines about the lineup of the receiving team Florida State they've got Holloman back there with Snipes and Carlton Scott [Applause] [Music] pops it up in the air and a fair catch is called on the kickoff and you can make a fair catch and instantly Hassan Jones indicated fair catch and by so doing kept the clock from moving so the Seminoles will have five seconds time for one play Rana has kicked off this way many times and it was very much a heads-up play by the Florida State team but they were prepared for it knowing exactly what they want to do plus not starting the clock which was the key key point deep the thought would have run out heads day he run the ball it's at the 24 yard line of Florida State now almost surely and where they fumbled the football on the snap and that will do it for the first half the play 17 degrees the Florida Gators lead the Florida State Seminoles here at Doak Campbell Stadium in depth Allen Hesse now here's Tim Brant they've just announced the crowd at fifty eight thousand nine hundred and thirty that is a new Florida State University attendance record Florida kicks off and they elect to hit this one beat those 4,000 stuff forced upon a to the 21 the Florida defensive unit lines up with Alonso fits in there Alonso is 260 Kim Newton and man in the middle is 285 Keith Williams the other tackle 255 linebackers are on motion 6 1 to 24 Lonzo Johnson the other outside man 6 to 325 Arthur white 6 1 to 20 and mark 4 6 footer and 235 and they put it at the 22 Coker is the quarterback he started the game he starts the second half he gives the football to Roosevelt Snipes and Snipes gets a couple of yards out to the 24 Ricky Eastman who had an interception in the first half is the left corner the right corner is Jarvis Williams 195 pounder his backs a pretty good size Roger Sybil - 6 1 200 at Adrian white is 6 feet and 205 all its second down and eight for the Seminoles with the Gators leading in the intrastate battle 17 to 3 [Applause] pitch it out the Skype but he can't get to the 30 they drop in the yards short of the first time the offensive unit Kirk Coker quarter high back deep man out of that formation is Snipes Cletus Jones the full-back Hassan Jones and Jessie Hester have not seen the ball at the end of the board past so far it's Patton Thompson Morris Barwick Dukes Anaya nada along the offensive front and the half time steps right here the stats in the first half and that's a lot of offense well the 300 yards in the driving rain storm and the telling the court Florida State separate Jones is now in and the pass-by poker tended for Hester and coming over to make the defensive play and Josh barely tip it away was Roger Sybil on a dry field Frankie intercepts no question about it deep there's a little quick pattern three-step severals number 26 the former Florida bag back authority quarterback in the ball and then was moved back to safety man he did it gets his hand on it but he does impair the vision of Hester the ball goes in completely Barry is in the front 37 44 and 43 under the conditions pretty good deep man is tricking the teal for the best in the country low line drive he's got a little room praise that he's got a lot of room 34 yard but and a 27 yard return Lavine its first down Florida at the 700 37 it was a very low putt getting healed a lot of room look at the crease right over here to the left you see that no Florida State players there he leads the nation with a 15 yard average for a return very explosive play of Davis to that football it has had a kick return punt return of 67 yards already this season oh the Gators go to work on the Seminole 37 with Lorenzo [Applause] goes to the 30 picked up seven yards the Florida State defensive brought Isaac William to tackle 6-1 to 60 odd Stroud in the middle quite light at that position 511 225 Darrell Nichols 6 to 250 the other tech linebackers Daryl gray 6-2 and 230 Brian Williams 6 feet 215 Henry Taylor led the game with seven tackles in the first half Fred Jones 6-3 and 225 second down and three [Applause] [Music] this is happening it's time to cut once he got his foot stuck in that mud hole he couldn't get it out from Billy Allen comes in the decade Eric Riley is a quarterback six feet 170 for the Seminoles Eric Williams the other corner five nine 175 Jerome McCoy the strong safety six feet 200 in Brian McCreary 511 170 the free safety and Billy Allen in there right now with Jerome McCoy out there's the lineup for the Florida Gators offensively at the ball is at the 31 of Florida State he it's third down just about [Applause] fix it they're working at the 20 so it's 1st and Gators at the Seminole 24 this big offensive line is just outstanding bit and hold it the Laos seven sacks where's the beat keep there it is 282 pounds average you can see that they have manhandle I think the part of state deep I think you just answered your question of earlier to our well the field dream yes those guys out there that tippet they pick up before when they line up they've used up [Applause] first down on the 20 bellows it up gets it down the middle good pass and a good catch by Ricky and not seal the teal is an overachiever even though he has good athletic fill ability the coaches say he works hard runs those precise pattern and a big thing here he comes back to the ball and Bale throws it low away from the defensive back where Steve the complete suit or incomplete coming back on second down but he will complete it so first and the Gators are trying to jump in the end zone in a hurry now they have it first down and Florida State eight has that little pitch dr. Lorenzo Hampton he's got well they made that look easy extremely easy Jarnell williams a fullback makes the keylogger offensive line you can see watch the full-back number 22 he's going to walk the safety out right here opens up a big gash and with a corona like engineering outstanding speed for safe and then Craig cannot get their time easy touchdown good block by befall the wide receiver on the quarterback Bobby Raymond for the extra point [Applause] oh just like that 11:23 to go in the third quarter the Gators jump up to a twenty four to three lead outstanding walking by the left side of the line look at the hole that he's got there excellent blocking by the fullback in Hampton Wolf's in number three in the nation leading 24 to three they won the Southeastern Conference championship but being sanctioned then chiralities of it by the NCAA to come yet of the Southeastern Conference Bardem for Super Bowl and in fact the Southeastern Conference could take away their claim of conference championship it's a short kick off down to the 15 to Darren Aaron comes almost to the 35 there put him on the 34 great return by Holloman broke a little priest there and looked like he was going all the way here's the scoring drive deep very impressive as you've already said may look very very easy Adam to the punt returns set it up by the teal the safety man Florida's averaging better than 10 yards on first down for the state about three and a half it's about the difference in the store three two one here comes snake Roosevelt couldn't lick the sharp cut that time he missed his hole just a little bit but he got something out of it he gets about three yards water state is in trouble when they get this far behind simply because their passion attack is based upon the running oklet's right play actions in Florida now is just going to lay back and force him to throw the ball and father in septic nice approach to that hundred yards in me yep and no one has gotten a hundred yards that rushing against Florida this year bo Jackson of Alban last year 196 so one player in 20-some odd games in two years rushed over 100 yards there's the thought of he fed stats all sports loose on the snap and Florida State teacher as folk for the quarterback was able to pursue the ball and keep control the option play that Florida State was trying to run the blocking scheme pulls the left guard and the quarterback has got to get back to let Keith and hit that guard go by in front of him and so he's pulling out a little bit earlier I believe on the play the same thing had called on the goal line when they felt now it's third down [Applause] hooker adopt the shine as he makes his cut loses his footing and comes up short of the post and he might very well have picked up a first down keep his foot the Eastland closing from outside Alonso Johnson number 93 he's the player at Florida State has to be really concerned with on every plate I'm not a number 77 walls him off momentarily but he forces the pitch and then Eastman number eight gets a lei arm on the leg here's the kick by very low and it takes the Florida State bounce and then expires after about a five-yard rule it'll be Florida's ball first down at its own 22 on a 40-yard punt the Gators in control of the football game right now we do 24:02 3 for those of you watching now or in your own lives beginning to compare football team [Applause] obey who are you the porta team has been very very impressive in both sides of a football offensive and defense Williams and comes outside and runs the football across the 35 mark came out right after 35 there was 204 numbers that are being used the bottom two in Utah only that hasn't mean of course folks in the Utah we realize that it's one State against the rest of oh yeah you actually got your choice of four phone numbers but the rest of the country those two bottom numbers were put in to handle the second Knievel Zittel Amplio tell us what's been going on we passed 200,000 almost a favor this is Neil Anderson there's a penalty flag over the referee and almost invariably that's gonna be a legal procedure for offensive holder thief I guess the biggest question we all have got in college football is who is should be number one right not at this stage of the season we've got three or four teams that seem to be up in the running and we have parity in college football and some people say parity means that you have mediocrity it hasn't been a dominating team in football this year I happen to believe that if a team wins all their football games they've done everything they could possibly do they deserve to win the vote don't say that they are the best team at all I think there's some other teams that would challenge that but deserving and being number one at two different things I would cast my ballot for Brigham Young if they win the bowl game they've done everything that their teens because the what's the number I need to call t-that's that's the basic premise of the book is it not that's what that's the way I see it when Clemson was undefeated they would give it a national championship even though some questions were they were the best team I know that years ago some teams were undefeated Arizona State in that same league was undefeated many years ago and they gave the national championship to Oklahoma when Arizona State was in the in the conference here we have a replay Henry Taylor coming up and makes the play but Arizona State was in the WAC Conference what Keith about 75 I think it was undefeated Oklahoma had lost one game I believe tied one game against California Southern Jail and yet the voting went hold on time you get split polls to the there's a past run outside did the perky Neil who's having a big day against the Seminoles and Frankie Cantor's on the field and looks like you're gonna have a first down now Oklahoma is one of put out a lot of pressure at the Orange Bowl maybe should be the national champ if I don't know but I like I certainly like Brigham Young's changes I make the people many people will feel that they have a chance see listen come a 21-inch written outstanding effort not a first day on he got back to the original line of scrimmage on that particular play playing a 16-5 team all of the a little bit but they've got the win that game big if they if they are fortunate and sweet Michigan [Applause] there's fastest picked off by McCleary has it 26-yard going on to the Seminoles now got a little something cookin [Applause] breaking on the football wallets in the air and this is a clear example of the safety man hovering deep first and then when he sees fail point look throw up front of him but prairie I see Nia comes in front of the receiver the free safety and picks it off in kidding Florida State a chance big play by the senior McCreary whose dad played football Valerie expensive college many years ago now the question is zone first down [Applause] for the first time that backs bothering Roosevelt Snipes a little passed down the sideline just blowing - hi intended for Hassan's own unnecessary roughness by Eastland after the receipt was out of bounds he if both officials dropped it very quickly Eason was the receiver was out of bounds and the safety man leaned over and made contact with it so it's a penalty a big penalty against the Florida Gators all right Jones some 88 is going to get pushed out to the outside by number 8 Eastman then we're gonna see number two Adrian white is the one becomes a cross if the ball is over his head and the rule is very clear on a pass is obviously under thrown or overthrow intitial Ruffus Achilles heel is a personal foul at the gator 13 where the Seminoles have it first down he that rule has been in the books about six years and that's one of the first times I've seen it call obviously overthrown and receive us still [Applause] in fact [Applause] cool water back poker keeps it tries to follow his hole back in the hole gets two yards maybe on the play with seven minutes and 55 seconds to play in the third quarter in Florida State shooting at Florida has blitz was on the lash down but ideally this is the place you want to make something happen and Keith they had the safety blitz and it forced the quarterback to keep the ball much quicker than he wanted to own the option play poker only got a yard on that carry so it's second down and nine of all of the 12 and he continued how the line gv2 got smashed [Applause] Vegas Jones is the fullback and Tony Smith the tailback let's come it again they sealed off the pitch man the gator between Tony Smith and the quarterback cooker and he had to eat it [Applause] well the linebackers of Florida run so well they affect the one thing the linebackers do this watch that quarterback option now let's see the pursuit come out the line of scrimmage number 43 off of white comes in and makes the play he just lassoed Oakland remember Florida has not had a touchdown run against their defense in 1743 for the season that's a great record Seminoles are one out of nine that's his passing the history [Music] [Applause] here it is again the quick look into the outside receiver Jarvis Williams on the 2016 2 months [Music] here's mr. honey inside can I get this much pushing down on the Goliath witnesses on the 26 it should have been right up the top Bobby the extra point kick is good at 6:33 to go now Porter it's a 14-4 ballgame going to Pune for Florida State ten well this Florida State team they can hit you and quickly and they've just stuck at the end zone very efficiently after the pass interception Marco will kick off and it's Lorenzo Hampton now the middle man drifting back it's Indian zone beyond the end zone and it'll come out for the 20 and let's check in with Jim okay gentlemen here's the latest result in the telephone pole over 300,000 votes counted with less than an hour to go keep calling in and voice your opinion on whether or not BYU should be ranked number one I admire you Frank Broyles for saying what you said about them I agree with both of you my particular two cents on the matter everybody plays teams that could beat them only these guys win every week but Frank Broyles isn't it true that Bo Schembechler is as good as there is at devising one defense to stop one offense in one game early in the season Jim that's a good point if you amendment I think the interstate six times early this evening when my [Applause] wata state defense now got their hackles up a little bit they jump all over Lorenzo Hampton as he picks up a yard or so from the 20 Keith have you seen this fear over here to the white I had not noticed it something unique in this stadium there's this fear that registers the crowd noise and the last on that last play the lights went off he up to the top I've never seen this this is registered in the crowd noise right here to let the fans know whether helping the team enough whether they get second down well gives it the hairpin for 24 a touchdown crowd and home partisan fans can fire you team up geez look at that light going right there the fans get involved when they get a chance and they are involved right now buying up the Florida State Seminoles they force a punt right here the ball somewhere five or 40 probably but Chris well he in that how and rainstorm earlier he hit 152 so women can custard along six Oh Juan Williams is married and it's fourth down only our producer Chuck Howard would know where else they have this type of arrangement of register in the crowd noise and heat salesman North Carolina State [Applause] the crowd Louis picks up they light it all the way to the ceiling when he was a student at Duke he said he sat there many times and watched going after him they hold him out and Chris well hits it upfield was handled all right it squirted away for just a moment from there in Holland but as we suggested Florida State's if nothing good field position now at their own 47 first down and you've got the one in there who are in the playoffs against the San Diego Chargers who throw it most of the time and they are not in the playoffs it straightenin company against Hudson company on ABC's NFL Monday Night Football back to this game FIFA I waters fate has really got a chance here to get back in this football game if they mix up the passing and running they'll make it tough on the defense when his fit stays in there so we must have a problem with Roosevelt Snipes Tim Brando second mrs. Coker looking to throw outside the Hester and Hester knee hits the ground at the 49 of Florida he had Pat Carter to tie it in harder would have had 28 maybe 25 good good I keep he was hooked Carter was open between the halfback in safety but Tony Smith is an interesting story very highly recruited young man had academic problems went to junior college came back just this fall he did not participate in spring practice has not played football in a year and a half go to the fullback and Cletus Jones they have marked him down around the 46 Sears timbren Pete there's two things down here that are very important right now you mentioned the drainage system in the stadium and it is very good but the footing out there is still awful it's very treacherous and that's because of the wet field all the heavy rain Oh Rosie snakes remember we told you your engines back in the first half it has tightened up he's trying to loosen it but right now he's in a great deal of pain thank you these planes present silversmiths antiph was approaching that hundred yard mark at 90-yard third down and three and he mrs. Hassan Jones and he had it poked her head him probably trying to zip the ball in between the defensive lineman he lured a little hard and threw it a little hot and he was thrown in between the quarterback Eastland and the safety man white but Heath exactly right he had him open had it been a perfect pass would have been a first down [Applause] position for that possession Rick in a teal goes deep Louis Barry is in the front this is a good look and it's gonna go into the endzone Seminoles couldn't quite get to it it's 46-yard punt Gators have come out with a ball at their own 20 leading by 14 314 to go under third misaligns he did say that his back has tightened up but they put some heat on it he is going to come back in the ball game right now he's just resting comfortably he says we'll be all right from the 20 here come the Gators now leading 24 to 10 ranked third nation [Music] playing pass pass incomplete he hit Rick in the teal right on the hands but Rick couldn't pull it in well Doug Flutie has finished his collegiate career say and the appearance of the Cotton Bowl as BC rolled over Holocaust today forty five to ten what a great career he's had been fun to watch him play he bit of a surprise there Alabama meeting open today 1715 when Pat and I elected to go for the touchdown rather than one point lead on a field goal fourth in one with two minutes to play when he made that Lorenzo Hampton they lose it nope you know what number 43 Brian McCreary and he has a pass interception already it doesn't did not know where the ball was if he had known where the ball was it would have been a simple thing to catch he thought what really happened I think was it this communication back there the safety man should be talking he felt that either you right he didn't know where it was or at least he thought the halfback was going in though you're right he didn't know where the ball was no ball was thrown over his left shoulder you're right he could herniate off the ball I thought my first impression was that he had the idea to the halfback was gonna intercept oh it's third down and 10 from the 20 and up the middle and they won't get their first down so once again the Florida State defensive people have done their job it brings up fourth down and four and the Gators are not the fun water state defense this floor ahead after that first touchdown drive early in the third quarter has really tightened up deep they've been pursuing better they've been getting some penetration and they've covered the passes intercepted one of Kerwin bells hit passing attempts I think we're gonna see snipe she's moving around on the sidelines Creswell is indicate they need start no pressure and he really has to hit with one big punt and coming across his Holloman to feel the ball and falls down at the 41 once more Jim Frank Broyles your alma mater Georgia Tech got a very satisfying win over Georgia today it's the first time the football team has beaten Georgia since 1977 but more than that it's the first win for tech over Georgia in any varsity sport going back to 1981 and covering 28 different meetings in different sports pretty satisfying I would think back to you guys we're not there yet we're coming back the ramblin wreck this is Coker but living a Hester fester gets away and goes for a first down 38 feet Hansen made the big rock that's from Hestia for extra yardage little quick looking pass off the option once again the Florida backs give them a big push it to watch the block right here by pencil hold number 26 Williams right there teamwork bring in for extra yardage this is the third pass that has this called deep and up until this half he had up until recently had called of one fact wide receivers have not caught a pass in first half the harder the only one to close faster this time his first time all negator 38 or Hassan Jones they found there and it's incomplete actually Hassan Jones had to turn into a defensive player and edit acute Jarvis Williams for intercepting defensive code office and receiver coats are constantly getting only receivers when you see you can't catch it you become a defensive back you must prevent the interception you can't catch it be sure that the defensive back does not catch here's a perfect example once it's a Jones sees he cannot catch them all he's going to be real sure that Williams study catches the ball goes incomplete second in sale at the 38 action drones on a set backs [Applause] hooker gets his pass off and it's incomplete again Coker had the Hassan Jones available but threw the ball under some pressure and he missed him Matt hope that Kirk wound up on his back Curt Kokhba as we mentioned earlier it is a walk alone quarterback he had been the second team coming in to the South Carolina ballgame he got his first start and he played well in as a replacement against Arizona State the week before another wall call starting this ball game brawl at quarterback Bell is also a walker there play-action gives him some time passes off the hands of roses Snipes I think the ball might have been tipped a little bit Florida is the only team this year that we've seen it this doesn't like the Blitz they have one man to rush the pass so that's Johnson the rest of their people play draw and screen the backs give a good cushion they're not gonna give you anything easy they feel like they have sittin up the plate straight football technique force you to go the hard way that's the truth today Barry comes in 75 in case you joined us late we had an horrendous rainstorm in the first half shoots it toward the corner where it skitters off into the end zone instead and so once again Florida will have the ball after a 38-yard punt first down at their own 20 with a minute and a half to go in the third quarter Gator bowls coming up here on ABC at 8 o'clock Eastern Time Friday December 28 matching the South Carolina Gamecocks on the Oklahoma State Cowboys two very good defensive team to play a little bit differently the philosophy of the two teams a little differently but Pat Jones Cowboys coming off the plains against the Gamecocks for quite a story this year under Joe Morrison and a circle Bowl matchup January 1st 8 o'clock Eastern Time will pair the LSU Tigers against the Nebraska Cornhuskers LSU today on first down this is hip fee this time Lorenzo pops it gets it out for the 32 12 yard pickup first big game they've brought ahead late since they're touched down and drive on the first possession good blocking again by the right side of the line and once again Williams of all-purpose fullback watch him make that good roll block kicking the cornerback out opening up the thick crease farhampton to go into the secondary before he's fine in knock down well the Florida State defensive people have certainly done their job the offensive people just haven't done much here in the second half they've got a touchdown show for it but on two occasions now they have given the offense the ball up near midfield and maybe if I wanted to live for Kendall the Florida offensive line usually takes over this part of the ballgame big strong active line we talked about they call themselves the Great Wall and rightfully so 282 pounds average across that middle quick active feet good past office just the strength of this water football game which is strong really in every area it's second down and about four [Applause] there goes the on back Hampstead again [Applause] the second effort puts him up near the 45 when you've got the muscle music run right at the posing team particularly with a little bit card Lorenzo had 14 rushes for 81 yards and what has he been done this season he's been averaging 5.2 he's rushed for 637 yards 115 carries but coming into this ballgame he ranks for excuse me he ranks 7th 3rd quarter is over we've got 15 minutes to play with Florida leading Florida State 24 10 will continue after this commercial message and the word from our local stations we go to the final quarter now here in Tallahassee as we wind down for the end of the regular season 1984 [Applause] and it's Florida in possession of the ball first down just short of their own ten over Florida State give them all to reporter to John William 22 John Willie how many teams Keith have a fullback they can start all tackle and bouncing outside weighs 222 pounds he's just outstanding here the stats and I think we should point out that the rushing yards to 14 in the last three or four years every time the Florida has out rushed the opponents they have won 33 lost two and tied to prevailing view among coaches you out rush that bonus and you win the majority of the game [Applause] is this Hampton big wow right Bros for the wrongful death well cloud of profit decline all they're trying to do is get a time he thinks here's the stats I was talking about earlier the party Gators just believe if they can out rush they have clonise they gonna win and those numbers prove but look at the whole the one thing the quarterback's knew in Hampton showed he starts why but he's never going wide according to closing coaches he's gonna cut back every time riding behind the great wall opening up that area to run it's first town at the Seminole 45 we're so stoppers 25-second show zero yep [Music] 33 yards bell daniil Seminole 23 yard field goal 73 Florida push that John Williams caught a nine-yard past 14 3 Gators and then Raymond the 34 yard field goal to make it 17 3 halftime 3rd quarter Gator stuck at the endzone make it 24 2 3 with Hampton and out again and the Seminoles came back on a faster Custer Neil Anderson now is in at tailback or I back for Florida carrying the ball and his first down for Henry a yard pickup on the first town car excuse me Keith Henry Taylor number 58 weak side linebacker comes all the way across from the right side of the defense pursues jumps leaps gets involved in the play it back makes the tackle right there long with the help from his teammate I think you has a chance to really play a great ballgame they got wickersham at quarterback who's one of the best passers in southeastern comput martin in partner thought no the wide receiver ankle sprain where they're working on water right now there was a penalty flag lost in the mud hole down there and it was a 5-yard penalty illegal use of hands against Florida the football has been moved back now to the 47 yard line of Florida and let's see they've got to go to the 35 a Florida State to get their first down so you're looking at first down about 80 there's the story of the weather what the weather has done to it as John Williams covers the ball but it is treacherous in all ways down on that field [Applause] we had an old-fashioned as there want to say in this neck of the woods a gully washer passed through here and I mean it wet down all the pasture land he and flooded just about flooded to feel sad man but a foot deep in water up to the knees of Tim glass at one time to look at what the side line looks like second down and they give them all to hit them runs up to midfield so they are now about 15 yards shorten first day you judge a great back but how much yardage does he make after he runs out of blocking Keith and we've seen a lot of that today by the Florida backs Hampton was hit at the line of scrimmage he twisted and turned and Phil picked up some yardage good facts do that 12 and a half minutes to play in the football game the Gators leading 24 to 10 trying to increase their credibility as the number three team in the country seven notes blitzing and I think they started to soon lead to that or somebody up front might have moved it could have been Crawford Kerr the right tackle for Florida Gators are kind of stumbling along here now after that opening touchdown in the third quarter they have done much water state defense has really been successful with their penetration and also in their pursuit out the line when they needed to they've just been gangtok been fired up the touchdown that they got in the third quarter put them back in the ballgame they feel like gave him a chance they've not been able to do anything with two good possession two possessions in position to get the ball at midfield you ought to do something we've got to do something with it in a tough ballgame if rim of Florida State is the underdog they've come in this ball game against an outstanding Florida team it's been their impressive Gators have been flagged 11 times now for 98 yards that's a lot of Phillip that is a lot [Applause] fumbles the ball bounced right back to the second time teeth is bounced right back to Florida I think this time the Florida State player hit it and knocked it back into the Florida man's hands it brings up fourth down let's watch it again I believe that 55 Jones is going to dive on the football let's see if he done right here on the left toes 58 Taylor he dives on it but he can't control it pops it right back out he's getting the leg of the center Bromley host the hope Chris Bell is in i short kick but it takes the florida roll and goes out of bounds down around the 20 well the Seminoles will have it we check in the gym all right not to belabor the point but once again we report the results of the BYU pulled the margin in favor of no votes now larger than it has been at any time during the day again the phone numbers if you want to vote yes 1 972 ooo 7 oh no 1 907 - ooo 7-7 in Utah only there are two other numbers which are at the bottom and you people in Utah can use those numbers as well our poll will end at 7 o'clock even if the game goes beyond 7 o'clock and we will report a final result of sorts at about 7 o'clock remember let's not take it too seriously we all have a lot to talk about in this memorable college football season quarterback now for Florida State about 320,000 goals I'm told that 50 cents a pump anything that's incredible but that shows the interest that we have in college football I knew you were gonna say that nothing well I had to there's a college administrator hope that interest there [Applause] [Music] second down and five [Applause] steps away for the fresh the soup continued three men and the third man got it Ricky Williams Florida defense continues to shine receive as a covered when the receivers are covered on a play-action pass normally you get one look fake up the middle this is the third sack of the ballgame receivers are covered now the defensive nana kunning off of their blocks and the quarterback really done heavy safety boughs to go to on the play-action pass like he would if there's a drop back paddle from the 22 berry Donnelly Wiccans orthodox night fumbles the football and Cruz got it Roger Sybil recovers the ball types had made the first down to Keith he'd gotten across the 30 but he didn't protect the ball when he got here is that can be bald al okay we're back or turnovers now for the Seminoles when you know the dog you've got the play flawless football if used to expect an upset of favorite team this one is good is quarter hit the ball just pops right out brought a ball so the middle of the ball game [Applause] well this record crowd of fifty eight thousand nine hundred and thirty is hung in there despite the rain eternal the storage coaches fear Colonel Keith we coach against it work against it we don't know how to stop it though it just pops up when you don't want it to this is real and 37:28 keith is a florida fact been thrown for a loss today don't believe that they have they do maybe one time on that goal line charge there's gaming Hall I just want to say this because I'm so happy for Galen I'm going close to 20 years he worked for Barry Switzer who is the winners coach in college football today how much got a student you could have a love affair in the basket can to kick the paper boy second down to about seven [Music] [Applause] he goes inside the five and the team is he good he is just a junior Jarnell Williams 222 pounds already is a fullback is rushed for 727 yards coming into this game here's why the pitch they forced it outside number 57 Robertson misses the play 32 Navy this is the tackle here's the fullback he beat another fail back and you throw the two big tail back since opposing team and him come in with a blow back oh that's leaning only pretty handy and every get it back another penalty that's 12 5 don't holder just wanted to continue about Jarnell Williams gaming Hall solely of all the full-backs they've had Oklahoma he thinks at Jarnell is the most complete fullback that he's ever been around that's quite a compliment Oklahoma's had some good looks that's a point of a foul call here though right as the ball is marked at the 17th because I have a first down at the Florida State seventeen [Music] Anderson happened this time as Anderson they just carry Keith I don't think we've seen two tailbacks is what is hard is Aniston and Hampton and Caden Hall Tobin said that we wheelied the substitute for themselves when they get tired they come out but the most successive ways that they have is sixth they must come out after sixth place if you see the extra yardage sit then they the Block in the offensive line look at Koroma 77 knocking the line back all the way back got him in his sights locked on to him and allows the ball care that's going [Music] john williams carrying and he's just a little short of his first town beardozer perhaps a little sure it's close enough they'll miss the ten tops o'clock but eight minutes Keith the big offensive line if coach has had that choice they take a quarterback in an offensive line because that's where the experience comes in there are four seniors in this offensive line in one softball they averaged 282 pounds but more than this they have that quick feet Jalen said they had quick is any of our offensive line he's ever been around and that is saying something Galen said they had quick is any of our offensive line he's never been around and that is saying something and as a result they're able to spread the wealth around much the running backs Anderson has 94 yards in the ball game there's the size of the line Hampton has 93 yards of the ball game and William just picked up 68 we just lost a big run on a penalty Steve hit the bottom line 1981 his the height 6-3 to 56 and the three-year period you can see what waits is just natural going one inch and what gives the ball through the eye back there's a penalty flag thrown Neal Anderson carries and you got to play one thing the Kerwin Bell had going for him Keith as a walk-on quarterback coming in the lineup all the offensive players did depend on his execution with that offensive line the running back he can kind of play his part is just a part-time passer and a good ball handling save Missoula and generate confidence from the team and that's what that young man has done walked on at the University of Florida what they say he was fifth string quarterback we have started to fall all other scholarship players ahead of him worked his way up and has had a sensational here's what he has done but for today's game but he has thrown 15 touchdown passes for the season which is second most ever in history of forest quarterback it is first and goal for the Gators now on the ball is on the Florida State for this might be a door sir [Applause] Mel Gibson and Williams takes it and in retail up a fat boy all did he make that book we used to play about our linebackers Keith analyzing is paralyzed that's a good ones play go after it read and react more you coach them before they play Jones number 55 and Taylor number 58 just together combined made that tackle second down and goal the ball is closer now to the three with 655 to play in the game now is the eye back [Applause] started too soon throws the ball away as he got blitzing pressure from Mayhew that's against the Gators at 13 flags and the gate has had two wide receivers the crossing is wide open for touchdowns if he hadn't been a penalty he could've gotten the ball off still one back in the secondary I would think the Florida State defense getting tired now yes they get tired but then out there in lost year but also frustrated as you said and losing their confidence because a big offensive line of Florida just wall them out of it I like to turn that Bobby Bowden told me about the Florida offensive line he said they must bought their legal Moche against Florida suck them down I said what is mushball he said they this latch on to you and they will hit you get away from them and they just sauced you right out of it they don't fire out and knock you out of there they turn you a must block I'm gonna go back and remember that it hurts 6:44 to go in the ballgame [Applause] back to the nine Bell rolls it out he's hit as he throws the pass is incomplete and it was blindside pressure coming from number 47 William no a Brian Williams well we've got five Williams playing in his bowl he's been a bill that the out that we just got five starters they witness in this bowl Brian is defensive in in his plate outstanding ball for Florida State all year long coming from the backside he'd mentioned the receivers recovered and Bell had to hold a ball and gave what is the chance to get to him it is third and goal from the 9 [Applause] Bell lobs it up the corner and it is incomplete good play Gary roll and Mayhew knocked it away they knew 7:32 playing the face he shoves the receiver which was legal the first time that he's got his eyes back to the ball he gets his left hand up and knocks it away Bobby Raymond's on the field our source chris will to hold it and we're gonna have a field goal try from 26 yards he's kicked one from 34 today and then he said a marvelous year I was gonna fake he thought a fantastic good at 6:32 to go in the ballgame it is now 27 [Applause] there you can see the big horses that little gram on them done their day offensive line and see if they love to block on the running game that's the way they get to hit somebody blocking on that running game this Florida line has been outstanding Perkins chip supporting my balls in stock down on the field he is short of the 20 again Jim all right for any of you who may have been out all day and missed this Boston College feed Holy Cross and in the game Doug Flutie concluded his regular-season college football career he threw his 25th 26th and 27th touchdown passes of this season

Kosar of Miami and Keith Byars of Ohio State they will rank as two of the leading candidates going into next year along with Bo Jackson of Auburn and also possibly Napoleon mccallum of Navy who could be given another year at the academy if that decision could be made possibly even at the Pentagon back to you Keith Florida State was caught holding on that kick return half the distance they start on their own nine yard line trailing by 17 minutes and Eric Thomas gives the ball to Roosevelt's night and Rosie runs it out around the 2728 so that puts him over 100 yards and he is the first back this year to run for 100 yards against the Vader defense he now has a hundred and seven teams see that he's tired the way he's getting back in that huddle he's paid for that 107 yards but he started out like a house of fire the Florida State team was getting good blocking but this hands did all work [Applause] Thomas gives to the fullback [Applause] latest Jones runs into Leon Pennington [Applause]

by the field is it safe deed Nicholas is in the game now wide receiver Mike respond [Applause] raise the ball off to Smith and Tony runs it down to the 28 picked up the better part of five yards on
