In his Florida State career, 1974-77, Larry Key made number 44 famous. As a senior, Larry, a Seminole captain, led the 10-2 Tribe and re-wrote the record book. Key broke game, season, and career marks
for rushes. He became FSU's first thousand yard ball carrier with 1,117 in '77. Over his career number 44 gained 2,953 yards rushing. Ten times Larry gained more than 100 yards rushing. His 97 yard
dash against VPI in '76 was the longest run ever by a Seminole. That same play also set a new Florida State career rushing standard. Key scored 18 TDs and 108 points in his four years and set four
kick return marks. In 1977 he was a national leader in all-purpose yardage as he blazed down the field with especially brilliant efforts against Oklahoma State, Florida, and Texas Tech. In that year,
Florida State fans shook their keys every time Larry touched the ball - a salute to this sensational leader.
