The Seminoles, already bound for the Orange Bowl with a shot at No. 1, had recovered from a 10-point halftime deficit to take a fourth-quarter lead. But the Gators still had a shot at the upset. With 3:41 to play, Gators freshman Wayne Peace looked deep for 6-foot-5 receiver Cris Collinsworth. At about the FSU 8-yard line, 6-foot safety Monk Bonasorte knew he couldn’t outjump Collinsworth for the ball. But he tipped the pass away, batting it like a volleyball, and directing it into the arms of FSU defender Keith Jones. On the ABC-TV broadcast, former Notre Dame coach Ara Parseghian enthusiastically saluted Bonasorte’s heads-up maneuver.
