Date: October 9, 1993
Location: Doak Campbell Stadium, Tallahassee, Fla.
Opponent: No. 3 Miami Hurricanes
Long before Chip Kelly’s Oregon Duck super-tempo offense would perfect the art of scoring quickly, there was Florida State’s fast-break offense, led by soon-to-be Heisman Trophy winner Charlie Ward.
FSU entered the 1993 game against the Miami Hurricanes 5-0, having already scored 40 or more points four times and breaking half-a-hundred twice. The 1993 Hurricanes defense featured two future NFL Hall of Famers in defensive tackle Warren Sapp and linebacker Ray Lewis, but while the Seminoles would be held to less than thirty points only three times in the 1993 season, and this game was one of them, the two future gold jacket wearers still couldn’t stop the fast-break from breaking their hearts.
