Date: October 3rd, 1992
Location: Miami Orange Bowl, Miami, FL
Opponent: Miami Hurricanes
#3 Florida State traveled to the old Orange Bowl seeking revenge against the #2 Miami Hurricanes, 46 weeks after the first soul-crushing first Wide Right loss in Tallahassee that dashed Bobby Bowden’s championship dreams and Casey Weldon’s Heisman hopes. This was a different looking Seminole football team, with a flashy but erratic QB from Thomasville named Charlie Ward, and a sensational local freshman phenom named Tamarick Vanover. The 6’1”, equally powerful and explosive Leon High School product was fiercely recruited by the Big 3 Florida schools, and chose FSU in surprising fashion on 1992 Signing Day.
