coach terry bowden's sixth-ranked 1994 auburn tigers entered the swamp as 17-point underdogs to coach steve spurrier's top-ranked florida gators, but, just like the year before, the tigers offense kept pace with the gators as its defense forced key turnovers by the gators. the gators' starting quarterback, terry dean, threw four interceptions in the first half, and was replaced by danny wuerffel, who threw three touchdown passes but was intercepted by tigers defensive back brian robinson with 1:20 left. tigers quarterback patrick nix engineered a quick drive, and threw an eight-yard touchdown pass to frank sanders, winning the game for auburn, 36–33.
