It’ll be a while before fans of Florida State football forget the 2010 Gator Bowl; you just can’t write many things as well as the circumstances surrounding legendary Seminoles head coach Bobby Bowden’s final game. The contest took place in Jacksonville, just down I-10 from Tallahassee. The opponent, West Virginia, was the program that gave Bowden his first major head coaching job. Bowden himself planted the spear prior to kickoff. And, of course, the ’Noles sent Bowden out a winner.
But had it not been for the play featured in today’s installment to our countdown, it’s unlikely that any of it would have ever happened.
