Florida State 41, Virginia 17
09/03/1994, Tallahassee, Fla.
From the 1995 FSU Media Guide, Page 94
TALLAHASSEE, FL - Defending national champion and third ranked Florida State, began the 1994 season with a resounding 41-17 victory over the Virginia Cavaliers in front of a Doak Campbell Stadium
crowd of 74,551 and an ABC regional television audience.
The departure of Heisman Trophy winner Charlie Ward left the quarterback position as the biggest concern heading into the new season. Junior Danny Kanell silenced the critics, at least early in the
year, with 32 of 48 passing for 330 yards and four touchdowns in his debut as the fulltime starter.
FSU dominated a fine Virginia team with five different Seminoles scoring and doubling the Cavaliers' yardage. However, UVa held Florida State scoreless in the first quarter and led 3-0 before the
Seminoles blew the game wide open with a 20 point second quarter barrage. The Tribe defense stifled the UVa offense most of the first half and the biggest Virginia gain in the second quarter was on a
penalty.
FSU finally got on the scoreboard when Warrick Dunn took a Kanell pass 16 yards into the endzone on the first play of the second quarter. The touchdown was set up by a 53 yard swing pass from Kanell
to Dunn in which Dunn faked and outran the Cavalier linebackers before being brought down at the UVa 18 yard line.
After the Seminole defense forced a Virginia punt, Kanell marched the Seminoles on an 11 play, 74 yard drive capped by an 13 yard touchdown reception in the back of the endzone by tight end Billy
Glenn.
On UVa's next play from scrimmage, defensive tackle Julian Pittman recovered a fumble at the Virginia 13 yard line. Kanell completed his third touchdown pass three plays later finding senior Kez
McCorvey open in the endzone for a 4 yard touchdown strike giving FSU a 20-3 halftime lead.
The Tribe continued to roll in the second half. Senior cornerback Clifton Abraham picked off a Symion Willis pass and returned it 37 yards to the UVA 28 yard line on the third play from scrimmage in
the third quarter.
Five plays later, redshirt freshman tailback Rock Preston scored from three yards out giving FSU a 27-3 advantage.
Fullback Zach Crockett scored on a 1 yard plunge and McCorvey hauled in his second touchdown of the day to conclude the scoring for FSU.
Virginia quarterback Matt Groh threw fourth quarter touchdown strikes of 20 and five yards for the Cavaliers. UVa was held to 78 yards in the first half, 285 for the game and was forced to punt 10
times. The Cavaliers' bright spot was running back Tiki Barber who would prove to be one of only two players to rush for over 100 yards on the Seminoles all season.
McCorvey led all receivers with 11 receptions for 107 yards and two scores, while Rock Preston enjoyed an impressive debut rushing for 70 yards on three carries.
The FSU defense was led by sophomore linebacker Sam Cowart who had 13 total tackles.

Florida State 52, Maryland 20
09/10/1994, College Park, Md.
From the 1995 FSU Media Guide, Page 95
COLLEGE PARK, MD - Danny Kanell had his second straight strong performance while fullback Zach Crockett put up career numbers as the Seminoles rebounded from a 20-17 halftime deficit to score the
game's final 35 points in a 52-20 victory in their first road game of the season at Maryland.
Kanell, playing at the site of his first collegiate start, completed 28 of 44 passes for 427 yards and one touchdown. He did throw two interceptions. Crockett rushed for 123 yards and a pair of
touchdowns. His rushing totals were the most for a Seminole fullback since 1986.
On the game's opening possession, Maryland's Scott Milanovich directed a 9 play, 80 yard drive to give the Terrapins a 7-0 lead. The drive was capped by a 7 yard shovel pass from Milanovich to Brian
Underwood.
Maryland's attempt of an onside kick went out of bounds and FSU took over at its own 44 yard line. After driving to the Maryland 17, Florida State had to settle for a 34 yard Scott
Bentley field goal to get on the scoreboard, trailing 7-3.
The Terrapin special teams provided the next big play by blocking Sean Liss' punt and taking over at the FSU 27 yard line. The Tribe defense held, however, and Maryland took a 10-3 lead on Joe
O'Donnell's 27 yard field goal.
After intercepting a Kanell pass, the Terps had great field position setting up at FSU's 39 yard line. The Seminoles held Maryland to another field goal, this time from 30 yards out, and heavily
favored Florida State trailed 13-3.
The Florida State offense showed its first signs of life on the following possession as Kanell drove the team 90 yards in 11 plays highlighted by Crockett's 1 yard touchdown plunge on fourth down. On
the drive, Kanell completed 6 of 8 passes including a 23 yarder to Wayne Messam on third and goal from the 24 to keep FSU's scoring hopes alive.
Florida State took the lead on its next possession on a 16 yard run up the middle by Rock Preston. The drive was highlighted by FSU's rediscovery of the tight end as Melvin Pearsall hauled in three
receptions for 40 yards. Pearsall finished the day with seven receptions for 90 yards and a touchdown, the most receptions by an FSU tight end in four seasons.
Maryland would take a 20-17 halftime lead following a 38 yard screen pass to Geroy Simon from Milanovich with under two minutes remaining. The deficit marked the first time FSU had trailed an ACC team
at halftime.
The second half would be all Florida State's as the offense gained 402 yards and the defense limited Maryland to just 52 yards and no points.
The Seminoles relied heavily on the running game in the second half and scored on three of their first four possessions. The Tribe would take the lead for good on its opening drive when Preston scored
his second touchdown of the day from six yards out.
Crockett scored his second touchdown of the game on a 14 yard blast with 4:46 remaining in the third quarter.
The remainder of the second half proved to be much the same as Dunn scored on a 25 yard run and Kanell threw an 8 yard touchdown strike to Kez McCorvey. Pearsall capped the scoring on a 13 yard pass
from backup quarterback Jon Stark as the Seminoles increased their ACC win streak to 18 games.
FSU gained 731 yards of total offense in the game, 279 on the ground. The Seminole defense limited the high powered Terrapin offense to just 237 yards of total offense, including just 24 on the
ground.

Florida State 56, Wake Forest 14
09/17/1994, Winston-Salem, N.C.
From the 1995 FSU Media Guide, Page 96
WINSTON-SALEM, NC - Fourth ranked Florida State's offense spread the ball all over the field scoring six touchdowns on their first seven possessions in a 56-14 win over Wake Forest in
Winston-Salem.
The defense welcomed the return of preseason All-American Derrick Brooks who had a smashing start to his senior season. Brooks made up for a two game suspension by forcing a fumble, blocking a punt,
recording a sack, and intercepting a Demon Deacon two point conversion attempt.
Danny Kanell led the FSU offense completing 20 of 28 passes for 189 yards in limited action.
It was, however, the Seminole defense who set up FSU's first score as Brooks forced a Wake Forest fumble on their third play from scrimmage, which cornerback James Colzie recovered on the Demon
Deacon's 42.
Kanell completed his first five passes in a row, the last a 15 yarder to freshman E.G. Green in the endzone for a touchdown that ended a 42 yard drive.
FSU drove 84 yards in 10 plays on their next possession which finished with Zach Crockett's 24 yard rumble up the middle with 4:34 remaining in the first quarter to give FSU a 14-0 advantage. The
score was Crockett's fourth in three games.
Brooks provided the Seminoles with another spark as he blocked a Mike Strazzeri punt that Clifton Abraham recovered in the endzone giving FSU a 21-0 lead. Abraham's recovery for a touchdown was the
senior's 4th career touchdown off a blocked punt, which set a new school record.
Florida State kept the pressure on the Deacons even without the starters in the game. Backup quarterback Jon Stark got into the scoring action connecting with Andre Cooper on a 25 yard touchdown pass
that was the result of an 80 yard, five play drive and made the score 28-0.
Rock Preston continued the scoring barrage with a 10 yard scamper around the left end giving the Seminoles a 35-0 lead with 5:59 remaining in the first half.
Warrick Dunn concluded the first half scoring capping an 11 play, 68 yard drive with a five yard run that provided the 42-0 halftime margin.
Despite having the ball eight minutes less than Wake Forest, the Seminoles outgained the Demon Deacons 337-184 yards in the first half.
Florida State coasted in the second half on touchdown strikes of 17 yards from Stark to Dennis Andrews and 18 yards from Thad Busby to Melvin Pearsall. The game marked the first collegiate touchdowns
of E.G. Green, Andre Cooper, Dennis Andrews and Thad Busby.
An interception ruined FSU's hopes of a shutout when Wake Forest ran it in from the two set up by a short 5 play, 25 yard scoring drive.
Wake concluded the scoring with a 12 yard scoring pass from David Cerchio to Thabiti Davis.
Jermaine Green, who would miss the rest of the season with a knee injury, led all FSU rushers with 62 yards on 12 carries. E.G. Green caught eight passes for 70 yards and Andre Cooper gained 105 yards
on five catches to lead the receiving corps, which was without Kez McCorvey for the first time in 41 games.
In addition to Brooks, Tiger McMillon and Marcus Long returned to the Seminole roster against Wake after serving two game suspensions.

Florida State 31, North Carolina 18
09/24/1994, Tallahassee, Fla.
From the 1995 FSU Media Guide, Page 97
TALLAHASSEE, FL - In an early season game considered by many to feature the two probable contenders for the ACC crown, third ranked Florida State pulled away from 13th ranked North Carolina in the
third quarter and held off a Tar Heel rally for a 31-18 win in front of a Doak Campbell Stadium record crowd of 78,111 and an ESPN national television audience.
Florida State quarterback Danny Kanell threw for three touchdowns and 252 yards and Warrick Dunn turned in his second 100 yard rushing game as the Seminoles increased their ACC winning streak to 19
games.
The Seminoles scored on their opening possession driving 79 yards in 12 plays capped by a 5 yard scoring pass to Melvin Pearsall with 9:34 remaining in the first quarter.
North Carolina responded when James Hamilton intercepted a Kanell pass at the FSU 23 yard line and the Tar Heels scored four plays later on a Leon Johnson l yard run to tie the score at seven midway
through the first quarter.
After neither offense could generate a first down on the following four possessions, Orpheus Roye recovered a UNC fumble on the FSU 27. Dunn ripped the Heels on a 46 yard run that set up Kanell's
second touchdown throw of the night. Andre Cooper made a diving grab of a 27 yard Kanell aerial for the score.
FSU would score again with three seconds remaining in the first half when Scott Bentley nailed a 37 yard field goal.
Despite outgaining the Tar Heels in the first half 273 yards to 97 yards, FSU held a slim 17-7 edge at the half.
Florida State used two quick third quarter touchdowns to turn its halftime lead into a 31-7 cushion. The first touchdown came on a Zach Crockett one yard plunge after a 6 play, 48 yard drive which
gave the Seminoles a 24-7 edge. The score was set up by a 31 yard completion to Cooper down to the Carolina one yard line.
The second FSU score came less than four minutes later on a 31 yard touchdown pass from Kanell to Kez McCorvey, which gave the Tribe a comfortable 31-7 lead.
North Carolina began a comeback attempt by driving 80 yards in eight plays capped by a Malcolm Marshall 1 yard plunge with 3:24 left in the third. UNC went for two and converted as Leon Johnson scored
on the option.
Tripp Pignetti kicked a 42 yard field goal to bring the Tar Heels to within 13 points at 31-18 with 12:15 remaining.
UNC's comeback bid gained further momentum when the Heels forced Kanell to fumble on a sack at the Seminoles six yard line.
Derrick Alexander sacked Carolina quarterback Jason Stanicek setting the stage for the game's deciding and most controversial play. Faced with a second and 11, Stanicek's pass to Octavus Barnes was
ruled a catch and a fumble which was recovered by noseguard Connell Spain at the FSU 11 with just over 10 minutes remaining.
The FSU defense shut down the Tar Heel offense the rest of the game for the 31-18 victory, which kept the Seminoles' record unblemished for the showdown with Miami in two weeks.
Dunn gained 121 yards on 19 carries and McCorvey bounced back from a shoulder injury to record five catches for 83 yards and a touchdown.

Miami 34, Florida State 20
10/08/1994, Miami, Fla.
From the 1995 FSU Media Guide, Page 99
MIAMI, FL - 13th ranked Miami's defense held Florida State to its lowest offensive output of the season and forced five Seminole turnovers in defeating third ranked FSU 34-20 in front of a packed
Orange Bowl and ESPN's biggest audience ever for college football.
The Seminoles had their chances against their arch-rival, blocking a pair of Miami punts and creating five Hurricane turnovers. But FSU scored just 13 points off those mistakes, while the 'Canes
turned three interceptions of Danny Kanell into 21 points and limited the Seminole offense to just 47 yards rushing.
Florida State's first drive began with excellent field position after linebacker Daryl Bush recovered a James Stewart fumble on the Hurricanes' second play from scrimmage giving FSU the ball on its
own 47.
Kanell led the offense to the Hurricane 12 yard line before Malcolm Pearson intercepted a pass in the endzone for a touchback.
Miami took advantage of the break and turned to its power running game to drive 80 yards in nine plays, for a 7-0 lead on Stewart's 2 yard TD run.
FSU's special teams gave the Tribe a chance to get right back in it by blocking the first of two punts and setting the offense up at the Hurricane 14 yard line. It took just three plays for FSU to
pull within one when fullback Zack Crockett plunged up the middle for one into paydirt. Scott Bentley's extra point attempt was wide right and FSU trailed 7-6 with 2:20 remaining in the first
quarter.
After forcing a Miami punt and taking over at midfield, Florida State took the lead on Crockett's second touchdown of the game, this time from two yards out. The score was set up by a 17 yard screen
pass from Kanell to Crockett which moved the ball to the two yard line. Wayne Messam hauled in the two point conversion to give the Seminoles a 14-7 lead with 14:30 remaining in the first half.
The Seminoles' special teams seemed bent on a route as they blocked their second punt and gave the offense the ball at Miami's 24 yard line.
Two plays later, the game's momentum switched when cornerback C.J. Richardson intercepted a Kanell pass at the Hurricane 13 yard line and returned it to FSU's 29, sending the sellout crowd into
delirium.
Stewart made up for his fumble and scored from five yards out to tie the score at 14 with 7:28 remaining in the third. The drive was kept alive when Frank Costa found A.C. Tellison for 12 yards on a
third and 9 to give Miami a first and goal at the FSU five.
Miami took the lead for good with an impressive 89 yard, 12 play drive that was capped by a third down option pass by back up quarterback Ryan Collins for the score and 21-14 Hurricane lead with :14
left in the half.
On FSU's first possession of the second half, Bentley closed the gap to 21-17 with a 23 yard field goal that capped a 9 play drive covering 48 yards.
Miami responded by driving to the Seminole 20 yard line before settling for a 37 yard field goal, making the score 24-17 midway through the third quarter.
After a holding penalty nullified a 22 yard pass completion to Kez McCorvey, Miami's Carlos Jones intercepted a Kanell pass and returned it 16 yards for a touchdown boosting the `Canes' lead to 31-17
with 1:04 remaining in the third quarter.
FSU's defense created another chance for the Seminoles to get back in the game when they forced a fumble that was recovered by James Roberson at the Hurricane 9 yard line. Second team quarterback Jon
Stark replaced a struggling Danny Kanell (13 of 28 passing with no touchdowns) and after three plays, including a sack, the Seminoles settled for a 34 yard Bentley field goal to pull within 11 at
31-20 with 12:10 remaining.
The Hurricane defense dominated FSU's offense for the remainder of the game forcing coaches to go to third team quarterback Thad Busby, but no one could get the offense going. UM held FSU to a season
low 219 yards of total offense, while they churned out 185 rushing yards and 178 through the air.

Florida State 17, Clemson 0
10/22/1994, Tallahassee, Fla.
From the 1995 FSU Media Guide, Page 100
TALLAHASSEE, FL - Florida State held Clemson to under 150 yards of total offense and allowed the visiting Tigers just 3 of 18 third down conversions en route to a 17-0 victory in front of a Doak
Campbell homecoming crowd of 75,902.
Despite tying the ACC consecutive win streak at 21, the 11th ranked Seminoles sputtered on offense, scoring only three out of five times inside the Tiger's 20 yard line.
Neither team scored on its opening possession, but the Seminole special teams set up the first FSU scoring opportunity when James Colzie returned a punt 16 yards to the Clemson 31. Florida State
missed a chance to score when Scott Bentley's 32 yard field goal attempt sailed wide right with 3:17 remaining in the first quarter.
The Seminoles scored the game's first touchdown when Warrick Dunn broke a tackle and ran five yards for the score with 13:27 left in the second quarter capping a 7 play, 70 yard drive. Dunn also
provided the key play of the drive racing for a 24 yard gain on a fourth and one. He would finish with a game high 133 yards on the afternoon.
After forcing another Clemson punt, Kanell directed the Seminoles on a 10 play, 66 yard drive capped by Dunn's second touchdown of the day, this time from four yards out giving FSU a 14-0 lead with
8:45 remaining in the first half. FSU failed on a chance to increase its lead when Bentley missed his second field goal attempt of the first half, this time a 28 yarder, forcing the Seminoles to
settle for a 14-0 halftime lead. Bentley would be benched in the second half in favor of senior Dan Mowrey who retained the kicking chores for the remainder of the year.
Florida State began the opening drive of the second half at its own 17 yard line. In 13 plays, the Seminoles drove to the Tiger 12, but saw their kicking woes continue as Mowrey missed wide right from
29 yards.
The Seminoles increased their lead and scored the game's final points on their next possession. After driving 69 yards to the Clemson four, Mowrey made his first field goal of the season from 22 yards
with 5:39 remaining in the third quarter.
Both offenses combined for just one first down in the fourth quarter as the score remained 17-0.
Danny Kanell completed 17 of 32 passes but did not throw for a touchdown for the second consecutive week. He was replaced by Jon Stark in the fourth quarter.
The victory marked the second straight homecoming shutout for Florida State and the Seminoles' second consecutive shutout of Clemson, which gained just 86 yards rushing.

Florida State 59, Duke 20
10/29/1994, Tallahassee, Fla.
From the 1995 FSU Media Guide, Page 101
TALLAHASSEE, FL - Danny Kanell sparked a 32 point second quarter and Kez McCorvey had a career day as seventh ranked Florida State posted a 59-20 victory over 13th ranked and undefeated Duke. The win
set a new ACC record for consecutive league wins as it was the 22nd straight for the Seminoles.
The game's first play from scrimmage would be a sign of things to come when Kanell teamed with McCorvey for a 38 yard gain to the Duke 42. The Seminoles scored eight plays later on a 6 yard pass from
Kanell to Andre Cooper. Dan Mowrey missed the extra point so FSU took a 6-0 lead with 12:20 remaining in the first quarter.
The Seminole defense pinned Duke deep in its own territory and forced a punt giving FSU the ball at the Duke 26 yard line. Three plays later Zach Crockett scored on a one yard plunge. FSU converted
the two point attempt as Rock Preston scored on a direct snap.
Duke's special teams provided its first score early in the second quarter. Tijan Redmon recovered a James Colzie fumble on a punt return and went 7 yards for the touchdown. Andre Wadsworth blocked the
Blue Devils' extra point attempt keeping the score 14-6 with 11:30 remaining in the first half.
Florida State took just 47 seconds to counter as Kanell engineered big plays to put the Seminoles up 21-6. From his own 30, Kanell hit McCorvey for a 46 yard gain, then found 'OMar Ellison in the
endzone for a 24 yard touchdown one play later. Ellison also enjoyed his finest day as a Seminole catching five passes for 122 yards.
After exchanging punts, FSU scored another quick touchdown this time in 43 seconds. After a Preston run of 24 yards and a 62 yard pass to McCorvey, fullback Zach Crockett scored on a 4 yard run to
give Florida State a commanding 28-6 lead with 4:10 left in the half.
After FSU's defense forced Duke to punt after three plays, the Tribe's big play barrage continued as the Seminoles went 61 yards in three plays. Kanell hit Ellison on back to back 16 and 13 yard gains
before Warrick Dunn scampered in from 32 yards making the score 35-6.
FSU was still not finished with its 32 point second quarter. FSU drove 70 yards in six plays to set up a 28 yard Dan Mowrey field goal as time expired giving FSU a 38-6 halftime lead over the
undefeated Blue Devils.
Ellison caught his second touchdown of the afternoon, this time a 36 yard reception from Kanell, giving FSU a 45-6 lead with 8:58 left in the third quarter.
On the following possession, Duke scored its first offensive touchdown of the game driving 80 yards in eight plays punctuated by a 29 yard pass from Spence Fischer to Corey Thomas on 4th and 11 to cut
the lead to 45-13.
Once again FSU answered when Crockett scored his second touchdown on a one yard plunge on the ensuing FSU drive. The score gave the Seminoles a 52-13 lead with 1:22 left in the third quarter.
FSU and Duke each scored one more touchdown. FSU closed out the scoring on reserve quarterback Thad Busby's scramble from a yard out.
The Seminole defense dominated Duke and ACC rushing leader Robert Baldwin limiting the Blue Devils to just 45 yards in the first half. Baldwin was held to 42 yards through the better part of three
quarters before shaking loose for a 44 yard gain and finishing with 96 in the game. Duke punted 12 times, gained a season low 225 yards and Blue Devil quarterbacks were sacked.
On the afternoon, McCorvey became only the second player in school history to gain over 200 yards receiving in a game finishing with 10 catches for 207 yards.

Florida State 41, Georgia Tech 10
11/05/1994, Atlanta, Ga.
From the 1995 FSU Media Guide, Page 102
ATLANTA, GA - Trailing 3-0 after the first quarter, sixth ranked Florida State dominated both sides of the ball in routing Georgia Tech 41-10 at Bobby Dodd Stadium. The win assured FSU of at least a
tie for its third consecutive ACC crown.
The Seminole offense was in high gear featuring the running game and a career high 174 yards on just 13 carries by sophomore tailback Warrick Dunn. Eight different Seminoles carried the ball and
quarterbacks Danny Kanell and Thad Bushy combined to complete passes to seven different receivers. FSU's offense racked up 396 yards, while the defense held Georgia Tech to just five yards rushing on
27 attempts. Although Tech quarterbacks did manage 246 yards of offense, they spent most of the afternoon dodging FSU's defensive line which recorded five sacks.
Tech opened the scoring on its first possession with a 33 yard field goal with 8:48 remaining in the first quarter.
FSU would take the lead for good on its next possession, however, as Kanell hit tight end Melvin Pearsall with a five yard touchdown pass on the second play of the second quarter completing an eight
play, 41 yard drive.
After both teams traded punts twice, the defense set up another Seminole touchdown when Todd Rebol sacked Tech's Graham Strohm forcing a fumble that was recovered by Andre Wadsworth at the Yellow
Jacket eight yard line. On the next play, Kanell and Pearsall teamed up for their second touchdown giving FSU a slim 14-3 halftime lead.
Dunn wasted no time in adding to the Seminoles' lead scampering untouched for a 63 yard touchdown on the third play of the second half. The play, which would be FSU's longest of the season, gave the
Tribe a 21-3 lead with 13:48 remaining in the third quarter.
After forcing Tech to a three and out series, the Florida State offense cranked up again and 'OMar Ellison's 45 yard reception set up another scoring opportunity. Rock Preston danced in from six yards
out just two plays later capping a six play, 67 yard drive and boosting the lead to 28-3.
Trying to get back in the game, Tech quarterback Tommy Luginbill hooked up with Charlie Simmons for a 39 yard touchdown completion with 8:45 remaining in the third quarter bringing the Yellow Jackets
to within 18 points at 28-10.
A pair of Dan Mowrey field goals from 21 and 30 yards increased the FSU lead to 34-10 and sent the FSU starters to the bench. Busby wasted little time after replacing Kanell, rushing in from the two
for the Seminoles' final score.
Danny Kanell completed 15 of 29 passes for 154 yards, but suffered three interceptions.

Florida State 23, Notre Dame 16
11/12/1994, Orlando, Fla.
From the 1995 FSU Media Guide, Page 103
ORLANDO, FL - It was supposed to be "The Game of the Century II," but the stakes were not as high when compared to last season's #1 vs. #2 showdown in South Bend. Notre Dame came to Orlando with three
losses and unranked, while sixth ranked Florida State already had lost a game. However, the Citrus Bowl record crowd of 72,868 was not disappointed.
The Seminoles defeated the Irish by beating them at their own game. Warrick Dunn (163 yards on 29 carries) teamed with Rock Preston (165 yards on 12 carries) to lead a Seminole ground attack that ate
up the clock and allowed the defense to rest on the sidelines. But it was a gutty 68 yard drive with less than three minutes left that gave FSU the come from behind win.
After a scoreless first quarter, FSU got on the scoreboard with a 20 yard field goal by Dan Mowrey with 10:51 left in the half. The kick was a sign of things to come for FSU as Notre Dame repeatedly
turned the Tribe offense away in the red zone.
FSU drove inside the Notre Dame 20 again on its next possession but had to settle for another Mowrey field goal. His 30 yarder was set up by a 46 yard scamper by Preston.
Florida State seemed in control of the game although the score was only 6-0. On Notre Dame's next series, Derrick Brooks intercepted a Ron Powlus pass and returned it 24 yards. With FSU's offense
driving, Irish cornerback Bobby Taylor hit Kanell on a blind side blitz forcing a fumble, which he picked up on the bounce, and returned 57 yards for a touchdown and a 7-6 Irish lead.
On the last possession of the half, FSU moved the ball down the field with a combination of passing and running. With the ball on the Notre Dame 23, Preston broke through the left side and carried the
ball for an apparent touchdown, but he was ruled out at the two yard line and the Seminoles had to settle for Mowrey's third field goal of the half and a 9-7 halftime lead.
The FSU domination of Notre Dame did not stop with the offense. The Seminole defense held the Irish to just three first downs and 80 yards of total offense in the first half.
Notre Dame scored first in the second half on a 39 yard field goal with 4:48 left in the third quarter. Momentum seemed to shift with the lead as Notre Dame now enjoyed a 10-9 advantage.
FSU's last play of the third quarter resulted in a 28 yard touchdown run by Preston with just :55 left to give the Seminoles a 16-10 lead. The five play drive featured key Kanell completions to Kez
McCorvey for 20 yards and 'OMar Ellison for 17.
On the Seminoles' first possession of the fourth quarter, they again moved the ball deep into Notre Dame territory but could not score. Mowrey missed on a 44 yard field goal attempt that could have
sealed the game for the revenge minded Seminoles.
The Irish got the ball on their own 26 and set up for a spectacular drive. On 4th and 2 from the Seminole 11, Powlus hit Derrick Mayes in the corner of the endzone to tie the game at 16. Cengia missed
the extra point and the score remained 16-16.
After a 16 yard kickoff return to the 32 by Tiger McMillon, FSU began the drive to take the lead with 5:12 left in the game. On the very first play, Kanell faked a handoff and hit a streaking McCorvey
for a 49 yard over the shoulder catch at the Notre Dame 19. From there, Zack Crockett blasted ahead for gains of five and six yards. Two plays later, Dunn pranced into the endzone from five yards
away. Mowrey's extra point was good and the final score was 23-16 in favor of the Seminoles.
Warrick Dunn was named the ABC player of the game and Texaco Star Classic offensive player of the game. Derrick Brooks was the Texaco Star Classic defensive player of the game with five tackles, one
interception, and one tackle for loss. The Seminoles defense held the Irish ground game to just 138 yards and allowed Lee Becton only 84, while defensive pressure forced Powlus into just 9 of 22
passing for 83 yards.

Florida State 34, North Carolina State 3
11/19/1994, Raleigh, N.C.
From the 1995 FSU Media Guide, Page 105
RALEIGH, NC - Florida State's last road trip of the season took them to Raleigh, NC, where it would face 22nd ranked N.C. State for the conference championship. The sixth ranked Seminoles, sporting a
rejuvenated running game, turned to Warrick Dunn who rushed for over 100 yards for the third consecutive week to lead the Seminoles to a 34-3 win over the Wolfpack.
FSU wore garnet pants for the first time ever on the road and gained 259 yards on the ground. At the same time, the Seminole defense gave up only 87 yards through the air in the win over NCSU.
For the fifth time in the season, Florida State's opponent got the first score. The Wolfpack took the lead on a 27 yard field goal with 7:04 remaining in the first quarter. The Wolfpack drive began at
the FSU 46 but the Seminole defense snuffed the drive 10 yards away from the goal line.
Florida State took the lead for good on the first play of the second quarter when Dunn beat the Wolfpack defense to the corner and scored from six yards out giving the Seminoles a 7-3 lead.
After a 48 yard N.C. State field goal attempt came up short, the Tribe began their next scoring drive with a 32 yard screen pass to Zack Crockett to the NCSU 33. Two plays later, Rock Preston broke
free for a 33 yard touchdown run with 12:08 remaining in the first half giving FSU a 14-3 lead.
FSU's defense set up the Seminoles' next scoring drive as defensive end Reinard Wilson intercepted a Geoff Bender pass at the Wolfpack's 45 yard line. After runs of 11 and 17 yards from Crockett and
Dunn, respectively, Phillip Riley outfought a defender and hauled in a 17 yard pass from Danny Kanell for his first touchdown of the season. Riley's reception gave the Seminoles a 21-3 halftime
lead.
Florida State drove 61 yards in 9 plays with the second half kickoff to take a commanding 28-3 lead. Preston scampered in from five yards out for his second touchdown of the night to give the
Seminoles the margin.
On N.C. State's next possession, Corey Fuller caused the Wolfpack's third turnover by stripping Rod Brown of the ball. Devin Bush recovered at the FSU 47 setting up another touchdown drive for the
Tribe. Andre Cooper outjumped the defender and hauled in a 25 yard pass from Kanell on the fifth play of the 53 yard drive. Mowrey's extra point attempt hit the left upright as FSU closed the scoring
at 34-3.
Danny Kanell was just 12 of 24 through the air for a career low 114 yards, but had two touchdowns and did not throw an interception for the second consecutive week. While the Seminole defense limited
N.C. State to 87 yards passing and 195 on the ground, Wolfpack running back Tremayne Stephens became one of only two to gain 100 yards on the ground against the Seminoles. He finished with 121 yards
on 17 carries.
The win stretched Florida State's ACC record winning streak to 24 games as FSU has not lost an ACC contest since beginning conference play in 1992.

Florida State 31, Florida 31
11/26/1994, Tallahassee, Fla.
From the 1995 FSU Media Guide, Page 106
TALLAHASSEE, FL - Led by Danny Kanell's record breaking performance, seventh ranked Florida State scored 28 points in the fourth quarter to stun fourth ranked Florida 31-31 in front of a Doak Campbell
Stadium record crowd of 80,210 and an ABC national television audience.
Florida State tied the NCAA 1A record for a fourth quarter comeback by pulling even with Florida after trailing 31-3 in the final quarter. Kanell completed a school record 40 of his 53 passes for 421
yards and one touchdown while rushing for another.
Florida's Danny Wuerffel and the Gator receivers spent most of the first half pecking away at chances for a big play. After throwing three straight incompletions on the first series, Wuerffel shifted
to a no back offense and hit a wide open Aubrey Hill for a 58 yard touchdown giving the Gators a 7-3 first quarter lead.
Wuerffel hooked up with Jack Jackson midway through the second quarter for a 3 yard touchdown pass to give Florida a 14-3 lead, and Judd Davis' 35 yard field goal with 3:16 left increased the Gator
lead to 17-3.
UF continued its first half domination after intercepting Kanell and setting up on the 50 with just 15 seconds left in the half. Three plays later, Wuerffel threaded a beautiful pass to Jackson in the
corner for a 28 yard touchdown giving Florida a comfortable 24-3 halftime lead.
Florida State took the second half kickoff and put together its best drive up to that point, but came away with no points after the drive stalled inside the 20 and Mowrey missed a 30 yard field goal
wide left.
Florida took over on the 20 and appeared to put the game away with an 80 yard drive that Wuerffel finished off with a quarterback sneak from the one to give the Gators a commanding 31-3 lead. Weurffel
used another big play on the drive hitting Reidel Anthony on a 5l yard bomb.
Florida appeared on its way to one of the most lopsided wins in the history of the series before Florida State began "The Comeback."
Over the final 13:00 minutes, Florida State would score 28 points. Big plays seemed to happen right away as on the Tribe's first scoring drive, Kanell hit McCorvey on 4th and l0 to keep the drive
alive. Zack Crockett rumbled in from 5 yards out to cut the lead to 31-10 with 12:59 remaining, igniting the partisan FSU crowd for the first time all day. The 15 play drive covered 84 yards in
4:07.
After forcing Florida to punt after three plays, including a key 3rd and 1 stop by Henri Crockett, Kanell took over on the FSU 40. Thirty three seconds later, Florida State had trimmed the score to
31-17. On the first play of the drive, Kanell hit a streaking McCorvey for a 35 yard gain. A swing pass to Dunn gained 19 setting up a 6 yard touchdown pass to Andre Cooper in the front corner of the
endzone with 10:04 remaining in the game.
The Seminole defense forced the Gators to punt again and Kanell took over at FSU's 27. He completed 6 of 7 passes on a scoring drive that brought FSU within a touchdown when he scrambled in for his
first ever rushing touchdown from the two with 5:25 remaining.
With Florida driving from their own 45, James Colzie made a diving interception of a Wuerffel pass at the FSU 40 to set up the final score.
Two plays later, Dunn gained 37 yards on a swing pass after miraculously eluding two defenders down the sideline. Florida State pulled within one on a 4 yard run by Rock Preston with 1:45 remaining.
Mowrey's extra point tied the game 31-31 completing one of the greatest comebacks in college football history.
FSU had one more chance to score when Florida elected to punt on 4th and 5 with :22 left. Starting at their own 29, FSU pushed to the 48 on a nine yard Kanell scramble but he came inches short of the
first down that would have stopped the clock which expired as the Seminoles tried to line up to ground the ball.
In the remarkable fourth quarter, Danny Kanell was 18 of 22 for 232 yards and one touchdown, while FSU's defense held Florida to 133 yards in the second half.

Florida State 23, Florida 17
01/02/1995, New Orleans, La.
From the 1995 FSU Media Guide, Page 107
NEW ORLEANS, LA - For the second consecutive game, Florida's secondary was dissected by FSU quarterback Danny Kanell while the Seminole defense sacked Danny Wuerffel five times as Florida State
settled a regular season tie, winning "The Fifth Quarter in the French Quarter" 23-17 over the Florida Gators.
FSU tailback Warrick Dunn, playing in his home state, continued to riddle the Gator defense in earning Sugar Bowl MVP honors. The sophomore rushed 14 times for 58 yards, caught nine passes for 51
yards and threw a 73 yard touchdown pass.
On the game's second possession, Florida State began deep in its own territory at the 7 yard line. The Seminoles started this rematch where they left off the last game against the Gators, driving
almost at will down the field. The Seminoles used a pair of Warrick Dunn 16 yard runs and a 41 yard pass from Danny Kanell to E.G. Green to the Gator 10 yard line to set up the game's first score.
Unable to get the ball in the endzone, FSU settled for a Dan Mowery 21 yard field goal giving the Seminoles a 3-0 lead with 7:20 remaining in the first quarter.
UF drove to the Florida State 4 yard line on its next possession before Derrick Brooks collared Wuerffel on a third down naked bootleg forcing Judd Davis to kick a 22 yard field goal tying the score
3-3 with 3:57 remaining in the opening quarter.
After Todd Rebol stripped the ball from UF's Fred Taylor and Sean Hamlet recovered at Florida State's 27 yard line, the Seminoles used a bit of trickery resulting in a touchdown which gave them the
lead for good. Dunn, a high school quarterback, completed his first collegiate pass to 'OMar Ellison for a 73 yard touchdown strike in which Ellison outraced the UF secondary giving Florida State a
10-3 advantage with 14:25 remaining in the second quarter. Dunn's pass also set a short lived record for the longest pass in Sugar Bowl history.
Florida State's defense then made another big play, this time stopping a Wuerffel 4th and 1 quarterback sneak giving the Seminoles possession on their own 28 yard line.
One play after Kanell completed a key 13 yard completion to Ellison on 3rd and 12 he hit an open Kez McCorvey for a 16 yard touchdown strike giving FSU a 17-3 lead with 7:47 left in the first half.
UF responded with an 82 yard touchdown strike from Wuerffel to Ike Hilliard on 3rd and 12 putting the Gators within seven with 6:07 left in the first half. Wuerffel's strike marked the third time in
the game that the record for longest pass in Sugar Bowl history had been broken.
After another fumble recovery by Sean Hamlet at midfield, Kanell drove the Seminole offense to the 7 yard line resulting in a Mowrey 24 yard field goal giving FSU a 20-10 halftime lead.
Rock Preston continued Florida State's momentum by returning the second half kickoff 62 yards to the UF 30 yard line. Mowrey then kicked a career long 45 yard field goal giving Florida State a 23-10
lead one minute into the second half. Mowrey's third field goal of the night, also a career high, was the most by an FSU kicker since Scott Bentley kicked four field goals in last year's Orange
Bowl.
Florida got back in the game in the fourth quarter after Wuerffel directed a 17 play, 80 yard drive culminating in a one yard quarterback sneak from Wuerffel bringing UF within six with 3:47
remaining.
UF's attempt of an onside kick rolled out of bounds, but the Gator defense held giving them one more chance from their own 19 with 2:27 remaining.
Derrick Brooks sealed the victory over the Gators by intercepting a Wuerffel pass and returning it to the UF 19 in the game's final minute.
Florida State's victory over Florida marked an NCAA record tenth straight bowl victory and thirteenth without a loss. Florida State also finished in the Top Five nationally an unprecedented eighth
consecutive year.
