  • Walker Texas Ranger!!

  • The best is the event staff guy high fiving people at 1:51

  • college football is awesome, but does anyone get the feeling that rivalries were more intense back then they are today

  • This is the Swamp I remember.

  • the Gators couldnt defend its national title that year, so they made good sure FSU wasnt gonna win it

  • @FredTaylorMade, still the greatest.

  • Holy fuck, that music just after the kickoff...epic. Dont care if thats even FSU, just epic

  • Probably the best football game I've ever seen. These two teams were ridiculously talented in every position.

  • Wow Washington State ranked #11. Jeez.

  • I loved this game. it was a great one. GO GATORS !

  • you also still have to miss Sean Mcdonough calling the 90's CBS games

  • 20 clowns cried through their makeup watching this game.

  • Chuck Norris watched this game

  • SOMEBODY get the announcer a doughnut. He actually had some emotion...unlike others...

  • Hell of a game! Balsy call by the OBC going deep on first down! And Sean McDonough did an amazing job on the play-by-play!

  • Thad Busby - my FAVORITE FSU QB!

  • no gators fans realize spurrier is what created that number 1 florida team... he is and was an AMAZING coach..... so why hate?? go cocks!

  • go gators.

    people from florida know that FSU is a shithole university. it's for UF's rejects.

  • @aldelta19 I'm sure they're both shite schools. 

  • @Sherpaful University of Florida is a nice school....FSU not so much

  • If you don't get goosebumps watching this, then your not a Gator!!

  • choke at doak>this

  • @MrGatorHater9 So much talk for a game FSU didn't even win.

  • @Chizikiszebest

    we came from a much further deficit

    much more exciting for the fans than this.

  • @MrGatorHater9 Yes, but the fact that FSU didn't win that game takes away some of its merit. In this game alot of people said 8-2 Florida had no chance against the 10-0 Seminoles. The 1997 Florida State Seminoles were a hell of a football team, and were 1 game away from being called one of the best teams of all time IMHO.

  • go gators

  • I MISS GREEN AND ALOT OF THESE GUYS GATORS U ROCK I LOVE BEATING THIS DUMB TEAM!

  • i got butterflies in my stomach watching this

  • at 4:05 the fsu stomped the gators :P

  • wow tthree plays 80 yds how were they number one with that defense

  • Gotta love Jacquez Green!! 

  • 3:48 Mickey Andrews and Chuck "the chest" Amato look like deer in the headlights.

  • 1:41

    lol at the announcers voice

  • I've never seen a human being sweat like Bobby Bowden did that day.

  • Spurrier has been trying hard to get good players at south Carolina. Watching stuff like this; I know this state has humbled him. I know you gator fans don't want to lose but I hope you cheer for spurrier. His legacy is on the line.

  • @0:58. Talk about excitement! You're telling me that CBS had Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman AND Walker Texas Ranger?!? What an embarrassment of riches!

    Was also a good football game.

  • Comment removed

  • I have always heard it said, "florida state...Gator Bait". The semenholes don't look right without boobie bowdoweb wondering around spitting on the field and looking for a place to change his Depends?

  • bring it

  • 00:35 number 29....peterson??? is that adrian peterson :P?

  • @lilcarlou He played for Oklahoma, and he's not that old, lol.

  • @knightguy11 oh ok

  • The Swamp...only GATORS get out alive.

  • Freddy T is the man

  • 5:34 Go Ducks!

  • wife and i ,were there GO GATORS!

  • It's great to see Coach S. in Gator colors again.

  • Gators defeat F$U, as usual. GO GATORS!

  • I remember hearing Mick Hubert say this game and the 2006 South Carolina game were the loudest he has ever heard the Swamp. GO GATORS!!!!

  • My favorite ending of any game that I have seen.

  • That was the loudest i have ever heard the swamp, bar none! Sweet victory

  • I didn't know Seinfeld called football games

  • ALL TIME FSU TEAM CRUSHES ALL TIME FLORIDA TEAM

    Damn,i remember my first beer.Daddy should of just let you have a sip.How's percy harvin doing huh?How about the nfl 's all-time leading rusher?Ha...yeah thanks for playing

  • I HATE UF... ALL TIME FSU TEAM, CRUSHES ALL TIME FLORIDA TEAM. Florida uses high school schemes that does prepare their backyard football athletes for the next level... FSU=NFL Football...UF= Flag.... They will only win 8 games this year. I pray to God.

  • @jacoby1303 Are you nuts??? Florida is 32-19-1 against FSU and you tell me FSU is a better program. Thats a good one. Florida has beat FSU 6 straight. They also beat them 6 straight from 81 to 86, and 9 straight from 1968 to 1976. Get real. FSU's biggest win streak ever was 4x.

  • @jacoby1303 Your name says your a fag

  • Urban Meyer is a great coach but for whatever reason when i think of florida, i still think of darth visor roaming the sidelines. What a great game! This is why college football is the BEST sport in the world.

  • 8:27-8:29 Lol I forgot Bob Stoops was still a coach here.

  • Best game ever to be at live - got to sit in student section - no, got to stand in the student section!!

  • God I miss those uniforms. The Gators had the most beautiful uniforms of all-time AT ANY LEVEL of football. The only comparison that can be made to the way the Florida Gators looked in those Starter uniforms from 1990 to '97 is the way Michael Jordan looks in a suit. Nobody on EARTH has ever looked better than that. EVERY SINGLE DETAIL about that uniform was designed perfectly. Why o why did we ever change it. Now, the uniform is the only thing that isn't perfect about UF.Colors?yes.Design?no.

  • will you shut up already

  • Up until the 2006 South Carolina - Florida game, this was the most beautiful game ever played in the Swamp. This is now the 2nd best game ever played in the Swamp. The 2006 South Carolina game and this one were the 2 most identical games I have ever seen in the Swamp as far as both teams going back and forth until the very end. Unfortunately for us, we didn't have a chance to win any titles so the 2006 game is slightly ahead now because of the significance of that game and the final snap won it.

  • This was back when the noles actually mattered in college football lol. Florida owns

  • I love the announcer, he made it even more exciting

  • This loss hurt so much....I think that was the best FSU team minus the qb. To make matters worse the noles beat the best gator team in 96 but they luckly got a rematch because of the bs way bowls were setup back then.

  • the swamp at its best

  • Lol, Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman

  • This was the best game I saw in person while attending UF. It was also the last game I saw in the swamp. Graduated the following May. Man, thanks for sharing. Brought back some good memories of the ole "Fun & Gun" offense and Stoops defense.

  • Will Florida State return to this level under Jimbo Fisher?

  • @jmoon219  In a word.......no

  • haha WALKER TEXAS RANGER!! I forgot about that show

  • hey guys, hmmm . danny wufferell the great quaterback, then in comes a mysterious guy with the number 12 ? hmm. showin any signs?

  • @AllDayGators so much for that.

  • bra y u gotta hate

  • Wow I got chills watching this video. It's great to be a GATOR!!

  • hell yea bra i feel u gators all day

  • This was a great game to watch, I wanted to Florida State to win this game. Soon as Janikowski did the gator chomp, I knew the Gators were going to win this game. This was a great day of football for me got to watch Michigan/Ohio State and this was the next game which is a classic. Wish someone would have a the full game.

  • GO GATORS

  • not much of a drive. I would've rather pick apart the opponents and get 80 yards in 8 or 9 plays. But ah well, it was a great game

  • Spurriers best coaching moment! FSU was better than us this year but he coached up his QBs between plays and found a way to win. this was payback for the choke at doak and their win in the bowl game that year.we beat them twice in a row when they were # 1......HOW SWEET IT WAS! my second favorite game against them besides the chompionship!

  • They don't show it but right after Janikowski made the field goal (right before the start of this video) he made fun of the gator chomp. THIS IS WHY YOU DONT \\\\ WITH US.

  • @dmildy (Yeah, I'm late responding to you, but...) They say there's a curse for making fun of the Gator Chomp. Auburn did the chomp after beating us in 2007, then next season stumbled to a 5-7 record.

    Curiously, I seem to recall seeing an Alabama player doing the Gator Chomp after they won the SEC Championship game this year... I guess we'll have to wait and see.

  • Still one of my all time favorite Gator moments...I was 15 when this game was played and now I watch this clip like 10 times ever year during FSU week. It never gets old! GO GATORS on Saturday. Can't wait to see everyone amped up for FSU and senior day!

  • Fred Taylor was a BEAST

  • and green is BEHIND THE DEFENSE...love that..was in the Swamp that night...awesome....three victory's over Bowden's in less than a year (beat Auburn that year too)

    Go Gators!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Best game ever in the Swamp til this day!!

  • Couldn't. Agree. More.

  • @UFBear15 it's a coin toss between that and 1995 Florida vs. Tennessee "hit heard around the world" game. But that last drive was the loudest I'd ever heard The Swamp!

  • I still can't believe I was 12 years old and was able to get a ticket to this game 3 and half hours before the game for $45! Best $45 I ever spent! Glad I saved my allowance money.

  • @YouCanCallMeAl1022

    I was the same age

  • @UFBear15 Oh yeah 14 years ago and I still get that same sweet feeling the night I saw the guys put that drive together. Special ballgame and special win. Didn't compete for a championship that year but it sure was nice to make sure FSU didn't either lol. What an awesome football game this was, it's still one of the best i've ever watched and i've seen some good ones.

  • Best Game I was ever at. My freshman year at UF.

  • mine too. and mine too.

  • three plays to destiny!

  • Memories. It gets emotional for me every time I go to a Gator Game. All of the memories of being young and having fun. From the Girls to the parties after the games. I love Florida. Its great to be a Gator.

  • On NCAA 2004 and NCAA 2005 I remember they have a special thing called Pontaic College Classics and they have this one on there and they call it "The Greatest Game ever played in The Swamp"

  • @PENS68 It was. I was there. Only home game I've ever been to where the student section tried to rush the field. They were pretty quickly subdued by K-9's, unfortunately. The first glory days of Gator football.

  • is it just me or was college football more passionate back then than it is today, cause I watch a short clip from this game and I got into it even though I am a Pitt fan

  • This is better than Tim Tebow and Urban Meyer. This is real football :D

  • I didn't like it when Bob Stoops was the defensive coodinator at Florida under Steve Spurrier.

  • Fred Taylor was a BEAST this game! I remember that run for 70+ yards in the 3rd quarter. I was standing in the NEZ and it go sooo loud!!!

  • This was the first UF-FSU game I witnessed, and what a game it was! The Gators had been trailing the whole game, but kept fighting and fighting. I was 17 at the time. My dad and I went together and the rest of the family didn't come that year. I can't watch that Johnson to Green pass without tears coming to my eyes. This was without question the best game I have ever witnessed and remains to this day the only time I've ever seen the UF students try to rush the field.

  • man I never get tired of watching this!

    Classic!

  • @beautifuldaymusic Amen. Amen. Amen.

  • Doug Johnson must not have been shaving points in this game.....

    Go Gators!

  • Man this announcer is terrible,

  • lol UF won cuz of chuck norris' cold hard stare at :58

  • LOL, i was like, waht is this cat talking bout, then i went there to :58. Amen brother.

  • I love all my fellow florida teams, but I'm a nole for life, regardless of how bad they do in a season.

  • Man i remember this, back when i loveeed the gators. Back when I felt passion for the game.

  • as much as I despise the noles, I would absolutely love to see fsu get back to the national championship scene every year like the 90s because the uf-fsu games were always SO INTENSE and SO GREAT to watch and I honestly kinda miss that. i mean don't get me wrong it's been fun beating ass the last 5 years but games like theseis what made the UF-FSU rivalry in the 90s THE BEST IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL! someone always had a shot at the national title when it was UF-FSU time.

  • GATOR BAIT!

  • This game still haunts me

  • Haha I love it.

  • The best game I have ever seen, apart from USC-Texas in the Rose Bowl. The Gators played with the most passion I have ever seen a team play with. AMAZING game.

  • I was at this game & I tell you what we were on our toes that whole game

  • @bfme12354 You cant really say that since the gators are 1st when you posted that.Now,they have 0 passion.

  • I was in the west stands and it was the loudest that I've ever heard it in the Swamp.

  • it sucks ass cause fsu was the best team in the nation they would have beaten nebraska or michigan that year without much trouble

  • I have to agree....that year's FSU team was one of....if not the best football team I had seen....they certainly should have won out....Good luck this year (except when you come to the SWAMP) maybe we will both be 11-0 and back to the glory days of our state's dominance

  • How can you wish good luck to FSU and be a Florida fan?

  • Poor Noles, all you had to do was beat us and you would have played for a national title. How did that feel to be so close only to have your dreams stolen from you at the last second?

  • not too bad actually... we're kinda used to it (look up wide right, and yes, I'm really a FSU fan)

  • As a Gator fan---You are nole with a sense of humor.

    I've actually found that to be the case with Nole fans. LSU fans on the other hand are just flat out retards.

  • Thanks. I try to be. Gotta laugh through the hurt they say. I try to laugh it up in these hurting years for us, and maybe someday, both teams will be top 10 teams again and this rivalry will determine the national championship like it did in the 90's.

  • I got to see one ball game the entire time I was in Iraq. I graduated from FL and so of course got to watch my Gators lose on a last second TD Hail Mary. I think Florida ended-up on the FSU 33 when the clock ran out. That was November 2003. Even though FL has dominated lately....for years it was the Seminoles with the upper hand.

  • Gators beat one the best if not THE best teams in college football...ever. Amazing game...

  • What a game! I remember how intense it was! Taylor an Green came up big at the end

  • me too I was at that game & my voice was gone by halftime, I tell you that game was a close call but once again the GATORS prevailed

    GO GATORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • omg i was 10years old!

  • man id give my left arm to have been at that game

  • awesome thanks!!

  • Agree...this FSU team was one of the best teams I've ever seen...but this was the night of the Gator..I.was at this game...will never forget it....Go Gators

  • Florida had no business winning this game. Fred Taylor literally beat us practically by himself in this game. They could have played this game 10 more times and FSU would have won them all. 97's team was probably better than both national championship teams from 93 and 99.

  • WAH WAH WAH

    a little cheese to go with that wine

    I was at that game & Florida played their hearts out that was the loudest I have ever heard that stadium

  • Bullshit,Florida Kicked your inbred asses,Go Gators!!! FSU Sucks!!!

  • I went to this Game & man was it intense we were on the edge of our seats that night But the GATORS PREVAILED

  • AMEN, PREACH ON THERE

  • Craaaaazzzzzyyyyy!

  • FSU losing this game led to the split national championship that year between nebraska and michigan

  • 5 years ago. lol.

    No, what I meant was both teams will be highly ranked when they play each other like in the 90's. It used to be whoever won went to the Nat. Championship.

  • HAHAHA 5 IN A ROW

  • UF BCS WINNER

  • I think this rivalry is going to start being brutal again.

  • when did it stop being brutal

  • spurrier never wanted to celebrate...

  • Dagger in the heart of the noles

    Best F$U loss ever!

    GO GATORS!!!!

  • FREDDY T.!!

  • wow fred taylor! still playin 4 the jags but he was better in college football. GO GATORS! wat rank were they b4 that game.

  • In the 10's. I don't remember off hand but we somehow lost in an upset to LSU and vs Georgia with lots of players injured.

    Somewhere around 15-18 sounds right. I just don't remember, it's been a decade.

  • The ranks for each team during this game were

    FSU: #1

    UF: #12

  • I was at this game, my first year at UF. It remains to this day the best football gamne I've ever attended.

  • ole miss is one of the most under rated teams and florida always plays shitty against them but florida is gonna rape oklahoma

  • Im rooting or OU, however I think Florida is going to rip them in half. I am also commenting about Ole Miss was a heckuva football team this year, they played Alabama tough also. This was one of HOUSTON NUTT'S best coaching jobs.

  • if florida is so great then why didn't they beat ole miss

  • Was Andre Wadsworth in this game? i remember when that guy was supposed to be "potentially" the greatest defensive end ever...i just remember seeing alot of 98 nfl draft scouts saying he was the best player in the draft...and that draft included Peyton Manning...scouts saying he'd reach 20 sacks a year in the pros lol...nobody knows who the guy is these days...quietly one of the biggest draft bust ever

  • yea, this was his Sr. year. he was a beast in college football. i think he a big injury shortly after being drafted by the Cardinals.

  • Oh yeah!

  • Noles suck balls

  • don't forget tge choak at doak!!!

  • If you notice, the second play of this drive is the same play meyer has had harvin run a few times. It's a beautiful thing.

  • FSU= Fieldgoal state university

  • Good one Spankenstein

  • i wuz only 4 in 97 but lookin at this stuff is still awesome GOOO GATORS!!!

  • love watching this the day before the fsu game! great drive, best regular season game ever!

  • 1:52 lol....gator country...

  • haha Walker Texas Ranger was the primetime show back then

  • Damn... Sean McDonough was losing it on that drive

  • He was going through puberty.

  • meyers is this decades spurrier buddy...God he is ruthless and I fucking love every minute of it man...this team reminds me so much of the 95-96 spurrier team...lets just hope we do better vs the big 12 this time around lol ;) if we make it.

    anyways this game = louder the whole game then when we blocked the USCe field goal in 06

    never in my life will I forget this game and the emotion coming in and during this game...it almost brings tears...so awesome

  • Nov 29 wont be this close.......GO GATORS!!!!!

  • cant wait till nov. 29 Go Gators!!!

  • good times, good times....GO GATORS!!!!!

  • wow, I don't think I've ever encountered such a bitter piece of shit as papabowden

  • I like the Gators now versus the Steve Spurrier coached Gators of the 90's.
