This remains the only national championship game to feature two teams from the same state.
Top-ranked Florida State entered the bowl with an undefeated 11–0 record, led by quarterback Thad Busby and running back Warrick Dunn.
Gator quarterback Danny Wuerffel threw three touchdown passes to Ike Hilliard in the game, and ran for another score.
Wuerffel became the second Heisman Trophy winner in four years to win a national championship, following Charlie Ward of the 1993 Florida State team.
