[QUOTE="Dress2Jacket, post: 928730, member: 5508"] FSU intentionally beat up QB's back in that era. It was the trademark of Mikey Andrews, their DC. An acquaintance of mine who played for him (and later had a nice NFL career) referred to him as a "mean old man". One year, FSU prided itself on knocking 7 (?) QB's out of the game. Joe only finished one of the 4 games he played against FSU. They beat him up pretty badly the other three, as I recall. One year in that era, UF and FSU both were undefeated going into their rivalry game. FSU won largely because they beat the crap out of UF's QB - he took a shot on almost every play. They met up later in a bowl game that decided the national championship and Spurrier repeatedly made his case in the media that FSU shouldn't be allowed to do that - hit the QB 2 steps after the release, drive him into the ground, hit him on every play even if he was a bystander, etc. The bowl ref's called things more closely and UF won the game.
