The 2001 FedEx Orange Bowl National Championship game pitted Heisman Trophy winner Chris Weinke of Florida State against Oklahomas Josh Heupel, the Heisman runner-up, but the true battle was on the defensive side of the ball.

The Sooners defense held Florida State to 301 yards, far below their average of 549. The Seminoles best chance to score came midway through the second quarter. Kicker Brett Cimorelli missed from 30 yards out and the Sooners maintained their 3-0 lead into the second half.

Oklahoma led 6-0 when All-American linebacker Rocky Calmus forced Chris Weinke to fumble near the Seminoles 20 midway through the fourth quarter. Sophomore safety Roy Williams recovered for the Sooners, and they quickly scored a touchdown to make it 13-0.

A bad snap in the final minute of the game resulted in a safety, saving the Seminoles from their first shut out since in 1988.
