Watch the 1994 SEC Championship Game between the Florida Gators and the Alabama Crimson Tide from the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, GA.
Final: Florida 24, Alabama 23
The 1994 SEC Championship Game was the first ever played at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia, and broadcast to a national audience on ABC. It was a historic rubber match — the third consecutive year that Alabama represented the SEC West and Florida represented the SEC East in the title game, with the two teams splitting the first two meetings (Alabama won in 1992, Florida in 1993). The Crimson Tide entered the game at 11-0 but found themselves as 7-point underdogs against the 9-1-1 Gators.
Alabama struck first with a 70-yard touchdown pass from QB Jay Barker to wide receiver Curtis Brown. The Gators answered quickly, as Wuerffel connected with Reidel Anthony on a 25-yard TD pass to tie the game. After the teams exchanged field goals to make it 10-10, Florida’s Fred Weary turned the momentum with an interception, though Alabama’s Deshea Townsend returned the favor with a pick of his own on the ensuing drive.
Neither team could capitalize on those turnovers, but Florida made a big play before the break. The Gators blocked a punt that set up a go-ahead touchdown — a 1-yard QB sneak by Wuerffel — just before halftime. Florida held Alabama to just 15 yards in the second quarter, forcing the Tide into three consecutive three-and-outs to close out the half.
Alabama linebacker Dwayne Rudd picked off a deflected Wuerffel pass and returned it 23 yards for a go-ahead touchdown with just under nine minutes remaining, giving the Tide a 23-17 lead. But Florida responded with a brilliant drive full of trickery — including a fake injury, a gadget formation, and a double-pass from Wuerffel to Doering, then to Aubrey Hill, that got the Gators to the Alabama 2-yard line. Wuerffel hit Doering on a slant for the go-ahead score with 5:29 left. Alabama drove back down the field, but Florida’s Eddie Lake sealed the win with an interception with 54 seconds remaining.
