No. 1 Nebraska def. No. 2 Florida, 62-24
Fiesta Bowl – Tempe, Ariz.
2013 Hall of Fame inductees Tommie Frazier (Nebraska) and Danny Wuerffel (Florida) met in the first Bowl Alliance national championship game as Hall of Fame coach Tom Osborne and Nebraska sought to become the second team in history to post perfect back-to-back national championship seasons. Both teams scored on their opening drives. Frazier tossed a 16-yard touchdown pass for the Cornhuskers while the Gators had to settle for a field goal. Florida took a 10-6 lead late in the first quarter with a quarterback sneak by Wuerffel, but then the Husker onslaught began as they took the lead and never looked back. Frazier threw for a touchdown and ran for two others, including one of the most exciting runs in college football history, breaking seven tacklers for a 75-yard score. Frazier ran for 199 yards on the day, the most by a quarterback in bowl game history, and Nebraska rushed for an NCAA bowl record 524 yards. Wuerffel threw for 255 passing yards and two touchdowns, but the Gators were no match for the tough Husker defense, which kept Florida to -28 yards rushing. Frazier finished second in the voting for the Heisman in 1995 to Hall of Famer Eddie George while Wuerffel would take home the trophy the following season.
