On big stages, big players make big plays, and there were certainly many to pick from in the game that would net Florida State its first national championship. FSU compiled a 11-1 record, falling only at Notre Dame, while Nebraska was 11-0. The ’Noles held the AP No. 1 rank the whole season, except the week after losing to Notre Dame. ND lost its next game, as Boston College hit a 41-yard field goal as time expired to best the Irish.
