Still do not understand how Clemson lost to Duke & Georgia Tech that year. The Tigers had a chance to be undefeated that year.

Im still baffled 21 years later, how Florida State started 0-2 that year. By the Fiesta Bowl, they were the hottest team in college football. Thanks for posting this.

@SFFOOL76 The reason that FSU team lost to Clemson was because Clemson was a darn good team and one of the better programs around in college football at the time, that's why. Clemson was no joke back then. Remember both Clemson and Florida ended up with the exact 10-2 records that year. What I'm still baffled at is how could Clemson lose to Duke and Georgia Tech.

Remember watching this game when I was 13 and figured all Clemson fans would enjoy this series of highlights of this game which is sweet revenge to what happened to Clemson the previous year. Clemson dominated this game it wasn't as close as the score indicated. Enjoy Tiger fans!!!

Look at the smile on Danny Ford's face at the 6:30 mark. Get a sense that he knew something...
