As Fuller remembers it, the game should never even have gone to overtime. Flacco snapped the ball for what would be the game-tying touchdown with zeroes showing on the clock at the end of the fourth quarter.
From there, the outcome took a little longer than expected, with the teams trading touchdowns and two-point conversions throughout the extra frames, but Richmond sealed its victory by breaking up a fourth-down pass in the fifth overtime.
“It was at their place. I had family at the game,” said Fuller, a Massachusetts native. “It was a really, really great win.”
That Richmond team went on to finish 11-3 and played in the championship subdivision playoff semifinals, where it lost to the Appalachian State team that won at Michigan earlier in the season.
The Spiders’ head coach, Dave Clawson, is now the head coach at Wake Forest.
“It was a great staff,” Fuller said. “There were a bunch of great coaches on that staff. Great people. It was a special year.”
Associate head coach/Defensive tackles coach Odell Haggins: Romps over rivals
Having spent more than half of his life as a Florida State Seminole, with a career that spans multiple national titles, it’s understandable that Odell Haggins might have a hard time picking his favorites.
But there are two that stand out. And, no surprise for someone who is Florida State through and through, they both involve beating Miami and Florida.
The first came in 1989, Haggins’ senior year.
Those Seminoles began the year with a No. 6 national ranking but tumbled out of the polls following an 0-2 start. They then engineered one of the most remarkable turnarounds in school history by reeling off 10 straight victories to close out the campaign.
There were plenty of memorable wins that year – including a triumph in Gainesville and a rout of Nebraska in the Fiesta Bowl – but the crown jewel of the 1989 season has to be the No. 9 Seminoles’ 24-10 thumping of eventual national champion Miami at Doak Campbell Stadium.
“It was a hard-hitting, hard-fought game,” Haggins said. “It went down to the wire.”
