7. FEELS LIKE THE FIRST TIME: Les Murdock, FSU, 1964


There had never been a day like this in Tallahassee. FSU 16, Florida 7. The Seminoles’ first victory against a program that regarded them with such disdain. Fred Biletnikoff scored FSU’s only touchdown on a 55-yard pass from Steve Tensi. But the winning margin was provided by Murdock, a place-kicker who had field goals of 24, 34 and 40 yards. In 1961, Murdock was with the University of Tampa’s program, but never played and was injured in the off-season. FSU coach Bill Peterson saw Murdock working out and gave him a shot. Murdock repaid the favor. Did he ever!
