"We ran the table from start to finish that year, but then ran into one of the best teams in the history of college football, Nebraska, in the Fiesta Bowl."Īnd, in truth, Florida's 62-24 shellacking at the hands of Nebraska to cap the 1995 season played a major role in the Gators coming back and winning the national title in 1996. "I guess I'm a little envious because I think that '95 team gets overlooked," said Chris Doering, who finished his Florida career as the SEC's all-time touchdown receptions leader with 31 (since broken by Alabama's DeVonta Smith) and is now an SEC Network analyst. That 1995 Florida SEC championship team also will be honored Saturday after its 25-year reunion was postponed a year ago because of COVID-19. "We just got clobbered by Nebraska in '95, but they would have clobbered just about anybody." "I don't want to brag too much on that 1996 team because the '95 team was every bit as good," Spurrier told ESPN.
