2. THE BOMB (1997: Florida 32, FSU 29)


The No. 2-ranked and unbeaten Seminoles, clinging to a four-point lead, were burned on a 63-yard pass play on first down that set up Florida’s winning touchdown, Fred Taylor’s 1-yard run, with 1:50 remaining. The backbreaker was a curl-and-go, a picturesque toss from Doug Johnson to wide-open Jacquez Green, who found himself in man coverage against FSU’s Samari Rolle and raced to the Seminoles 17-yard line. Florida coach Steve Spurrier later said he never heard a louder explosion of noise at The Swamp. ‘’I don’t know how he got so wide open,’’ FSU coach Bobby Bowden said. ‘’I don’t know who, where or why he got so wide open.’’ Rolle, in tears afterward, said he felt like he let everyone down. ‘’We had dreams and aspirations,’’ Rolle said. ‘’Now it’s all ruined.’’
