on the FSU 31.  Last play of the game, … and USC
rolls a TD of their own on their dropback, for a 31

It'd be darn tough to beat this one.  Although Fla looked 95 Florida 02 Ohio State
like the better team, OSU played better today, and I  32 SCORE 31

and it looked to be a blowout.  I don't know how OS 422 TOTAL YDS 466
always does it, but they always seem to absorb things 24 RUSH ATT 68
like this, and then get the game settled into their 66 RUSH YDS 310
game.  They did it again today.  Fla played some  2.8 RUSH AVG 4.6
terrific defense in the first half.  That disappated in 41 PASS ATT 20
the 2nd half.  The very long drive for OS to end 25 PASS COMP 11
the first half looked to be a back breaker for the Fl 356 PASS YDS 156
spirit.  OS lost all 3 fums in the 3rd qtr, each time 2 INT THROWN 0
