The top 100 FSU football plays: No. 93 — Scott Bentley hawks down Hall of Famer Brian Dawkins to preserve Clemson shutout

Date: September 11, 1993

Location: Doak S. Campbell Stadium, Tallahassee, FL

Opponent: Clemson

How the heck did an extra point play in a historic blowout make this prestigious list? Why, it’s symbolism, my dear Watson. Where to begin?

Fresh off the goal line stand shutout in sweltering East Rutherford (42-0 over Kansas), and a super-soaked smashing in a Durham deluge (45-7 over Duke), the top-ranked Seminoles returned to Tallahassee to face No. 17 Clemson. This was the first game played in FSU’s brand new gothic cathedral of brick following the major expansion to Doak Campbell Stadium.
