Dec 3, 1994 SEC Championship - Alabama vs Florida
12/03/1994. Georgia Dome (Atlanta, GA). The 3rd annual SEC Championship Game. The #3 Alabama Crimson Tide (11-0) vs. the #6 Florida Gators (9-1-1). Broad... — www.youtube.com
The Georgia Dome in Atlanta provided the stage for a thrilling SEC Championship Game on December 3, 1994. The Alabama Crimson Tide, led by coach Gene Stallings, squared off against Steve Spurrier's Florida Gators, setting the stage for a highly anticipated showdown.
Both teams were ranked among the nation's elite, with Florida at No. 6 and Alabama at No. 3. This marked the third consecutive year these two rivals clashed in the SEC title game, with the series tied at one apiece.
The game was a back-and-forth affair, with both teams trading blows. However, with just over five minutes remaining, Alabama's Deshea Townsend intercepted a pass from Florida quarterback Danny Wuerffel and returned it for a touchdown, giving the Crimson Tide a 22-17 lead. Instead of going for two points, coach Stallings opted to kick the extra point.
With time winding down, Wuerffel led the Gators on a decisive drive, culminating in a two-yard touchdown pass to Chris Doering. The Gators' extra point proved to be the difference, securing a 24-23 victory. This heart-stopping game, later ranked 79th on ESPN's list of the greatest college football games, remains a classic in SEC history.
