Florida State Wins Sugar Bowl Despite Title Loss
No. 4 Florida State defeats No. 9 Ohio State 31-14 in the Sugar Bowl led by Thad Busby’s 334 passing yards and E.G. Green’s 176 receiving yards. The Seminoles finish no lower than fourth for 11 straight years, preserving their strong defensive reputation after last year’s loss. Michigan’s Rose Bowl win earlier leaves FSU with final ranking uncertainties.
