That was Va Tech in the 70's...and I think we had something ridiculous like 700 yards rushing

Sorry, hit the enter button on accident,,,I've since edited my post.....

I was at the 1974 game. As I remember, Florida State had been winless in the last dozen or so games, and Bama may have been undefeated at the time. Late in the 4th quarter, Florida State was up 7-3. Bama pinned FSU near their own goal line, and FSU decided to take a safety on a punt, making it 7-5. FSu punted, Alabama had a decent return, and then worked in to field goal position with only a few seconds left. Bama kicked the field goal and won 8-7.

We played Florida St. in 1974 and the score was 8-6. I could have sworn Coach Bowden was there and called plays from the pressbox. Thanks for the input.

Sat, Oct 12 Florida State Tuscaloosa 8 - 7 (W)

Darryl Mudra was Coach of the Seminoles in '74 when Bama won 8-7 in Denny Stadium. Bucky Berry kicked the game winning FG. Bama was undefeated and ranked #1, FSU had not won a game and (if there was such a thing) was ranked last.....

We won 8-7 in 1974. Darrell Mudra was the coach at FSU. We hit a late field goal to win it. FSU was horrible at the time. It would have been an enormous upset.

I'm pretty sure Bowden coached against the Bear in 1974. We barely won that year by some odd score of 8-7 or 8-6. Wait, he didn't start coaching at Fla. ST until 1976 so that's out. He did meet with the Bear in 1976 to discuss scheduling a game. The Bear denied his request!

We won 8-7. Daryl Mudra was the FSU coach. It was right before Bobby came to FSU.

Sorry Tide 61. Should have checked before I posted.

A friend from Tallahassee told me the headline in the paper the next day was "Seminoles Snatch Defeat from the Jaws of Victory". I think Burt Reynolds was in TTown for the game.
