So Bobby Bowden understood the system, as did the fans. Thanks, Butch.
FYI, that score wasn't the result of clearing the bench with a big lead. La Tech did whatever they wanted on offense all day.
I was referring to one possible factor for FSU getting the nod, but the biggest was not factoring head to head. We were off against La. Tech. Maybe we were looking ahead to Va. Tech the following week, I don't know. Having said that we took down no. 1 and no. 2 that year. Those quality wins should have put us over the top. A few points in garbage time shouldn't have been the difference. Butch was right by making sure he kept his starters healthy and gave the young guys reps.
