The top 100 FSU football plays: No. 67—Lane Fenner gets robbed of a game-winner vs. Florida

Before Rashad Greene’s missed horse-collar vs. Auburn, before Nigel Bradham’s ejection, before Dunn was or wasn’t in, there was Lane Fenner, and the catch that never was.

In 1966, Florida State and Florida met for just the ninth time in the history of the two schools. Two years prior, the Seminoles had secured their first ever win vs. their rival, and for some of Oct. 8, 1966, it looked like they might earn one over a Gator team that, at that point, ranked No. 10 in the country.

Led by Steve Spurrier in his Heisman Trophy year, the team would finish 9-2, while Florida State would squeak by at 6-5, losing four of those games by eight points or fewer.
