Months before this game Mike Tyson was knocked out by Buster Douglas in one of the greatest upsets in boxing history. One day the Florida State program would face a fall of its own, but in the late 1980s and 1990s FSU was like the invincible Iron Mike of old. If Tyson had been de-throned it was only because Florida State had risen and become worthy of filling his gloves, a new heavyweight contender just as proficient at leveling quick devastating hay-makers that destroyed mouths and the best-laid plans.
