Maryland Terrapins stun Florida in Gator Bowl to regain grid prestige
Maryland, once mired in mediocrity, upset 13th-ranked Florida 13 0 in a rain soaked Gator Bowl. Linebacker Kevin Benson sparked the win with a first quarter interception setting up Larry Dick to pass to Kim Hoover for a 19 yard TD. Atkins rumbled for 127 yards as Maryland finished 9 2 1 and claimed a bowl victory over an SEC foe. Claiborne celebrated the upset as proof the program belongs among college football royalty.
