LOCKED DOWN IN MIAMI

FSU defenders swarmed Nebraska all night in the 1994 Orange Bowl. CB Corey Sawyer (No. 8) and DL Derrick Alexander (No. 90) were standouts in the 18-16 win that sealed the program’s first National Championship. Sawyer, a consensus All-American, made five tackles while Alexander tallied a team-leading 11 tackles. Their efforts helped shut down the Cornhusker attack and secured FSU’s place at the top of college football.
