As Florida State football emerged into national prominence, Danny McManus was at the helm. His never-say-die attitude created a last impression on Seminole football and he is still listed among FSU's
all-time greats at quarterback. In 1987, McManus' finest game came against Nebraska in the 1988 Fiesta Bowl. McManus orchestrated a 97-yard scoring drive with the game winning touchdown pass coming on fourth and goal from the 15. He broke Fiesta Bowl passing records and was named MVP. He was named College Football's Exemplary Player of the Year by New York's Downtown Athletic Club following the season. McManus has enjoyed a successful career in the professional ranks. After two seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, he joined the Canadian Football League. |
