1999 BCS Orange Bowl: #7 Florida Gators vs. #18 Syracuse Orange 

In case if anyone didn't know, this game ended up being the final Orange Bowl game at the REAL Orange Bowl Stadium, instead of Sun Life Stadium (then Pro Player Stadium), since the Buffalo Bills played the Miami Dolphins earlier that afternoon, during an AFC Wild Card game.

I remember this well..Florida wasn't a conference champion but went 9-2 in the regular season..Syracuse was a conference champion..I wish Syracuse would've played Kansas State in the Orange Bowl for 1998 season..SYR played KSU played each other in the 1997 Fiesta Bowl..Anyway, Syracuse started slow in this game and never recovered..Syracuse beat Virginia Tech and UMiami but lost to Tennessee and Florida for 1998 season..📙🏈📘🤔

Interesting to think of Brad Nessler and Gary Danielson calling games together on ABC, years before they would team up on CBS! Also, cool to see Jesse Palmer. A bit of "who's who" among modern-day college football commentators!

If you go back to the completed pass at 1:30, Travis Taylor's route (which isn't seen in the video) was a deep curl on that play. UF ran almost the same play on that first TD, only Taylor ran a stop-and-go and the safety bit. Easy touchdown. I'm not sure there's ever been a better play caller at Florida than Spurrier.

That was the best Syracuse team ever. Florida played well that night.

The way McNabb that night.....its a wonder he got drafted in the 1st round.

I went to this game . Got have a few adult beverages with gator great James Jones tailgating. Great memory

My two favorite teams.

That Florida team should have matched up with Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl for a better matchup in that BCS. Another reason why the BCS was flawed, they couldn't get potential matchups of top teams against each other. Texas A&m vs Ohio State, you knew who was gonna win and Florida vs. Syracuse? Yeah I know they want to balance the teams for ratings during the BCS era, but fuck it go for broke and get the better and more exciting matchups overall.

Wow, I do not remember this game for some reason. Kind of embarrassing.

Another great one

I was at that game. At the start of the 4th quarter it looked like we were going down but when HEFTY LEFTY threw the pick 6 we came back and won. I think we were down by 20 something points to start the 4th quarter.
