ABOUT THE ORANGE BOWL COMMITTEE

BRIEF HISTORY

The Orange Bowl Committee was created in1935. Its mission then was to generatetourism to South Florida through an annual

football game and supporting Festival. Since thattime, the not-for-profit, 333-member, primarily-volunteer organization has expanded its reachbeyond the city to become a foundation in theSouth Florida community.

The Orange Bowl had modest beginnings. It beganas the Palm Festival in 1933 and 1934 with $5,000 inpayout to the schools participating. Presently, theOrange Bowl has grown into a month-longcalendar of events known as the Orange BowlFestival, offering a top-notch college football game,as well as other sports, entertainment, andcommunity events.

The Orange Bowl festival attracts more than tensof thousands of visitors to the South Floridacommunity annually. The recent staging of theBCS National Championship in 2009 betweenFlorida and Oklahoma generated approximately$200 million dollars in economic impact to theSouth Florida community.

The OBC's premier event remains the DiscoverOrange Bowl game played at the state-of-the-artSun Life Stadium. Mention the name and mostthink "National Championship" -- with good reason.In its long history, the Orange Bowl Committee hashosted 19 National Champions and 16 HeismanTrophy winners.

In 1998, the Discover Orange Bowl joined with theFiesta, Rose, and Sugar bowls to form the BowlChampionship Series. In the present BCS term, theNational Championship will continue to be rotatedaround the four bowl sites, but now, as a secondgame for that host site to be played one week afterthe host's bowl game. The Orange BowlCommittee will next host the Discover BCSNational Championship Game in 2013.

MORE SPORTSFor 16 years, the Orange Bowl Committee hasstaged the MetroPCS Orange Bowl BasketballClassic, played at the BankAtlantic Center inSunrise. The 2010 event will feature anchorschools University of Florida and University ofMiami matching up against Kansas State andCentral Florida, respectively.

The Orange Bowl Committee also supports youthsports in the community through the Orange BowlYouth Football Alliance presented by SportsAuthority, which supports 16,000 youngsters in nineSouth Florida counties and includes the OBYFAChampionships and the Orange Bowl Cheer andDance Championship.

Other events supported by the Committee includethe Orange Bowl International Tennis Champi-onships, which has hosted Andy Roddick, AnnaKournikova, John McEnroe, Chris Evert, Ivan Lendl,and Andre Agassi in the past, and is played at thehard courts of the Tennis Center at Crandon Park inKey Biscayne, home of the Sony Ericsson Open.

More than 600 young sailors annually make thevoyage to Miami between Christmas and NewYear's to compete in the Orange Bowl SailingRegatta Series, which includes the Orange BowlInternational Youth Regatta—the premiere youthregatta in the country. The competition is usuallyfierce in all seven classes with young sailors fromaround the nation and eight foreign countriesparticipating in the event.

The Orange Bowl Committee exists as a self-sustaining, independent organization to support and produce activities and events that enhance the image, economy and culture of South Florida.

MISSION STATEMENT

MEDIA GUIDE 5

OBC IN THE COMMUNITY

Our Mission and Vision

The Orange Bowl Committee was created in1935 with the mission of generating tourism forSouth Florida through an annual football game

and supporting Festival. Since its inception, the not-for-profit, primarily-volunteer organization, which hasgrown to 333 members, has expanded beyond theGreater Miami area to become a cornerstone of theentire South Florida community. The Committee isaided by approximately one thousand additional“Ambassadors,” community volunteers who makeus, the Festival, and our community stronger.

The Orange Bowl brand helped put South Florida onthe map and build the community into the populartourist destination it remains today. While ourprimary mission for more than 75 years has been tobring tourism to South Florida through an annualfootball game and Festival, we also have maintaineda legacy of charitable contributions and communityoutreach.

Bolstering the EconomyThe Orange Bowl Committee works to ensure thatSouth Florida remains in the position of being one ofjust four communities nationwide with a spot incollege football’s prestigious Bowl ChampionshipSeries and a part of the National ChampionshipGame rotation, with the next championshipscheduled for 2013. Each year our bowl game(s) andaffiliated Festival events attract tens of thousands ofvisitors who fuel the local economy with millions ofdollars. This translates into jobs and benefits forlocal hospitality and service industries and vendors,in line with our mission. According to SportsManagement Research Institute, it is estimated our2008-09 bowl games and Festival events generatednearly $200 million in economic impact and mediaadded value for South Florida during one of the worsteconomic downturns South Florida has experienced.This figure is over and above the direct support theCommittee provides in a variety of areas on anannual basis.

Support of Intercollegiate Athletics and Higher EducationPayments from the Orange Bowl Committee havecontributed to the approximately $150 million inoverall BCS revenue annually; this overall amount isdistributed by the BCS to benefit 195 universitiesthroughout the country. Throughout its 77 years ofexistence, the Committee’s payouts have led toparticipating schools and conferences receiving inexcess of half a billion dollars before adjusting forinflation.

In 2009-10, the Orange Bowl Committee providedmore than $150,000 in funding for scholarships, bothdirectly to deserving high school students and toinstitutions of higher education. Through programssuch as “Field of Dreams,” a celebration that recog-nizes outstanding high school scholars in Broward,Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties, the ACC

Inter-Institutional Scholarship Fund, and othervarious programs, the Committee has provided inexcess of one million dollars in scholarships over thelast 11 years.

Support of Events, Organizations and CausesThe Committee supports organizations and eventsboth in and outside of South Florida on an annualbasis, benefitting numerous charities, funds andgroups. In 2009-10, that support totaled in excess of$50,000.

In addition to this annual support, the Committee isalso there in times of need, providing funding to thoseimpacted by adverse circumstances, and willcontinue to do so in the future. The Committee’sdonations to institutions, organizations andindividuals affected by such things as naturaldisasters and tragedy over the last five years havetotaled $240,000.

Support of Youth ProgramsThe Committee also benefits thousands of SouthFlorida youth by generating youth sports leagues,events and competitions and funding an array ofgrants, donations and community programs tosupport this competition.

In 2009-10, the Orange Bowl Committee providednearly $600,000 as well as hundreds of volunteer andstaff hours to serve more than 16,000 young footballplayers and cheerleaders who participate in theOrange Bowl Youth Football Alliance. Since thebeginning of this program 11 years ago, the OrangeBowl Committee has invested approximately $4million in its youth sports programs in South Florida.

The Committee also contributes to economic devel-opment by providing nearly $70,000 annually insupport of locally-based festival and events,including those that provide participatory opportu-nities to youth from all over the world, such as theJunior Orange Bowl (which is not affiliated with theOrange Bowl Committee), the Orange Bowl Sailing

Regatta Series and the Orange Bowl InternationalTennis Championship. Over the last 10 years, theCommittee’s support in this area was nearly $600,000.

In 2008-09, in recognition of 75-years of communitysupport, the Committee spearheaded a $5.7 millionlegacy gift initiative to build a much needed youthfootball stadium and facilities at Miami’s Moore Park.The Orange Bowl Committee is directly contributing$2.5 million to the project plus design fees, and hasguaranteed an additional $700,000 for completion ofthe youth sports complex. The $2.5 million plus giftwill be matched by the City of Miami, which ispartnering with the Committee to construct TheOrange Bowl Field at Moore Park, which should becompleted in early 2011. Moore Park is the site of the1933 and 1934 Palm Festivals, the predecessor of theOrange Bowl.

A Bright FutureThe Orange Bowl Festival is “owned” by thecommunity and the Committee has taken steps toensure it mirrors South Florida’s diversity. In the lastfive years, our presidents have included twoHispanics, an African-American, and a woman. Aswe move forward, the Orange Bowl Committee willcontinue to generate business for local companies,recharge the region’s economic engine, support ourchildren (who will become our area’s future leaders),

ORANGE BOWL AND THE ACC

The Discover Orange Bowl is the “Home ofthe ACC Champion.” Prior to the 2006season, the Orange Bowl Committee and

Atlantic Coast Conference entered into apartnership in which the champion of the ACCgains an automatic berth in the Discover OrangeBowl. The OBC previously made similar agree-ments with other conferences, namely the BigEight and Big East Conferences, but itsagreement with the ACC is the first exclusiveagreement between the OBC and a NCAADivision I Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly I-A)conference since 1995.

Beginning in 1937, the OBC hosted SoutheasternConference teams, and in 1954, began hostingteams from the ACC. Between 1954-58, Maryland(1954, ‘56), Duke (1955, ’58), and Clemson (1957)competed in the Discover Orange Bowl,including a pair of national championship gameappearances for the Terrapins. Clemson playedin the 1951 Orange Bowl prior to the formation ofthe ACC, and current conference membersBoston College, Georgia Tech, and Miami playedin the Orange Bowl prior to this time, includingthe inaugural game played in 1935 between theHurricanes and Bucknell.

Also beginning in 1954 and continuing through1964, the OBC hosted Big Seven Conferenceteams, which later evolved into the Big EightConference, and eventually the Big 12Conference. After an 11-year period from 1965-75 in which the OBC hosted “at-large” teams, itsrelations with the Big Eight Conference resumed,hosting the league’s champion from 1976-95.

In 1996, as part of the Bowl Alliance, the OBCbegan hosting either the Big East Conference orACC champion until the 2007 game, when the OBCand ACC entered into an exclusive contract.Since then, and continuing through 2014, the ACCchampion gains an automatic berth in theDiscover Orange Bowl, unless the leaguechampion is ranked No. 1 or No. 2 in the final BCSStandings, in which case it would play for theBCS National Championship.

The agreement positions both the OBC and ACCat the forefront of the postseason bowl structure,now and in the future. The “Tradition of Excel-lence” of the ACC and the rich heritage of theOrange Bowl, which has hosted 19 nationalchampionship games and 16 Heisman Trophywinners, promise to help maintain the legacy ofthe college football bowl system. Additionally,the financial stability that each organizationprovides each other and geographical locationrelative to the ACC footprint make thisrelationship a genuine “win-win” agreement.

Current ACC schools have played in a total of 36Orange Bowls, including a Clemson-Miamimatch-up in 1951 and another Miami-FloridaState game in 2004. The 1951 match-up cameprior to the ACC’s inception in 1953, and the 2004contest came a year before Miami’s acceptanceinto the league.

Among the 19 national champions hosted by theOrange Bowl, current ACC teams have played innine Classics, winning five. Clemson won its onlynational title at the 1982 Orange Bowl, Miami wonthree of its five crowns at the 1984, ’88, and ’92Orange Bowls, and Florida State earned the firstof its two national championships at the 1994Orange Bowl.

Additionally, Florida State’s Chris Weinke andCharlie Ward, who started two Orange Bowls,each won the Heisman Trophy the same seasonthey played in the game, while Miami’s GinoTorretta won the Heisman the season after heplayed in the Orange Bowl.

The ACC champion is decided at the Dr PepperACC Championship Game. First played in 2005,the ACC title game has traveled fromJacksonville, Fla. to Tampa to Charlotte, N.C.,where it was played in 2010 and will be again in2011. Florida State (2006), Wake Forest (2007),Virginia Tech (2008, ’09, ’11) and Georgia Tech(2010) earned Orange Bowl berths following awin in the championship game.

ORANGE BOWL HISTORY

FIRST GAME PLAYED IN 1935; ORANGE BOWL GAINS NATIONAL ATTENTION

In 1934, W. Keith Phillips, chairman of theGreater Miami Athletic Club and President ofthe Miami Chamber of Commerce, invited

Earnie Seiler, the City of Miami’s recreationdirector, and others to his office to discuss theprospect of a New Year’s Day football game—tobe played at Miami Stadium—to succeed thefirst two Palm Festivals of 1933-34.

Phillips and local radio announcer DintyDennis brought the name “Orange Bowl” to thenewly formed committee where it was immedi-ately embraced. Despite having just six weeks toorganize the contest, the first Orange BowlClassic, pitting Bucknell against Miami, wasplayed on January 1, 1935. The Bison routed theHurricanes, 26-0.

The committee was riding a wave ofnational publicity and, with a year to prepare forthe 1936 Orange Bowl, decided to expand theFestival and stage a lavish parade prior to thegame.

Now known as the Orange Bowl Committee,the group invited two out-of-state teams, CatholicUniversity and Mississippi, to the 1936 Classic,doubling nationwide interest. The thrilling 20-19Catholic victory was the first Orange Bowl to bebroadcast on radio, with CBS’ Bill Munday deliv-ering the play-by-play.

Following Munday’s call of the 1936 Classic,the Committee and CBS signed a contract tobroadcast the game on national radio andconvinced the network to send its top announcer,Ted Husing, to the game.

One week prior to the 1937 Orange Bowl,ground was broken for a new facility. Uponlearning of the plans for Orange Bowl Stadium,Husing admired the ingenuity of the game’sorganizers and became one of the Orange Bowl’smost vocal supporters.

ORANGE BOWL STADIUM BUILT; GAME HITSBIG TIME IN ’39

Orange Bowl Stadium was dedicated onDecember 10, 1937, just in time for an Auburn-Michigan State match-up in the 1938 OrangeBowl. Ralph O’Gwynne’s two-yard touchdownrun gave the Tigers a 6-0 victory in the lowestscoring Orange Bowl in history.

A year later, on March 3, 1939, Seilerbecame the Orange Bowl Committee’s first full-time business manager. Two months later, onMay 15, the OBC incorporated as a non-profitorganization and its Charter was signed by thefirst membership.

Seiler’s successful marketing approachbrought Oklahoma and Tennessee to the 1939Orange Bowl. As the story goes, Seiler went toNorman, Oklahoma to invite the Sooners toMiami, but faced competition from other bowlswhich offered more money. He chalked theOklahoma campus with slogans that read, “On toMiami” and “See you at the 1939 Orange Bowl,”showed Sooner players photos of Miami’s

beaches, beautiful women, and even promised toset the team up on dates.

Upon Oklahoma’s acceptance, Soonercoach Tom Stidham asked Tennessee coachGeneral Robert Neyland to bring the Volunteersto Miami, pitting undefeated teams against eachother. The match-up led to such media andpublic interest that 32,191 fans packed OrangeBowl Stadium, which had a listed capacity of22,050. A 17-0 Tennessee win propelled theOrange Bowl to “Big Four” bowl status with theRose, Cotton, and Sugar bowls.

THE FABULOUS ‘40sThe Orange Bowl experienced immense

growth in the 1940s, hosting legendary coachesWallace Butts of Georgia (1942, ’49), GeneralRobert Neyland of Tennessee (1947), and BobbyDodd of Georgia Tech (’48), as well as fabledplayers in Georgia’s Frankie Sinkwich (1942),Boston College’s Mike Holovak (1943), GeorgiaTech’s Frank Broyles (1945), and Texas’ TomLandry (1949).

Despite a broken jaw and sprained ankle,Sinkwich chalked up an Orange Bowl-record 355yards of total offense under center—243 yardsand three touchdowns through the air and 112yards and a touchdown on the ground—whilehandling kicking and punting duties in perhapsthe best individual performance in Orange Bowlhistory, as Georgia defeated Texas Christian, 40-26.

Holovak rushed for 141 yards and touch-downs of 65, 35, and two yards, but Alabamaupended the Eagles, 37-21.

Broyles passed for a then-Orange Bowlrecord 304 yards, but Tulsa’s rushing attacksecured a 26-12 victory against Georgia Tech.

Landry, who would go on to win two SuperBowls as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys,closed the decade with 117 rushing yards and a

touchdown, sending Texas to a 41-28 win againstGeorgia.

Arguably, the best game came in 1946 whenJack Harding’s Miami team defeated Holy Cross,13-6, on the final play of the game. With 10seconds left to play, Crusader quarterback GeneDeFilippo looked downfield, but his pass wasdeflected into the hands of Miami defensive backAl Hudson. Hudson returned the ball for an 89-yard touchdown as time expired.

MARYLAND-OKLAHOMA MATCH-UPS DEFINE ‘50s

New teams and historical moments markedthe 1950s, as the Orange Bowl was televised forthe first time and played host to its first two top-ranked teams and national championship gameswhile enjoying a five-year agreement to matchAtlantic Coast Conference and Big SevenConference schools against each other.

CBS televised in the 1953 Orange Bowl, inwhich Alabama piled up 596 yards in a 61-6 winagainst Syracuse, in what is still the Classic’slargest margin of victory.

Jim Tatum’s Maryland Terrapins and BudWilkinson’s Oklahoma Sooners met for thenational championship in both the 1954 and 1956Orange Bowls. In 1954, No. 4 Oklahoma beat No.1 Maryland, 7-0, claiming the national title andshutting out the Terps for the first time in 51games. Two years later, No. 1 Oklahoma scored14 third-quarter points to beat No. 3 Marylandagain, 20-6. The Sooners would go on to win twomore Orange Bowls during the decade, claimingback-to-back victories over Duke, 48-21 in 1958,and Syracuse, 21-6 in 1959.

Other notable games included Paul “Bear”Bryant’s introduction to the Orange Bowl asKentucky’s coach in 1950, which saw Santa Claradefeat the Wildcats, 21-13. In 1952, a game-winning field goal from Pepper Rodgers, whowould later coach Kansas in the 1969 OrangeBowl, sent Georgia Tech to a 17-14 victory overBaylor.

JFK VISITS ORANGE BOWL; NIGHTIME TELEVISION BEGINS

The 1960s saw the Orange Bowl host a“Who’s Who” of college and professional football,with the likes of Georgia’s Fran Tarkenton (1960),Missouri head coach Dan Devine (1960-61), Navy’sHeisman Trophy winner Joe Bellino (1961),Alabama’s Lee Roy Jordan (1963), Joe Namath(1963, 1965), Ray Perkins (1965-66), and Steve Sloan(1965-66), Florida’s Heisman Trophy winner SteveSpurrier and Larry Smith (1967), Penn State’s JoePaterno (1969) and Kansas’ John Riggins (1969).

fourth national championships in 1965 and ’66, withTexas defeating the Tide, 21-17 in ’65, and Alabamacoming back to beat Nebraska, 39-28 in ’66.

The Crimson Tide’s ’65 match-up with Texasmarked the first Orange Bowl to be played atnight, as well was the first of 31 consecutivetelecasts by NBC. Texas raced out to a 21-7halftime lead, but Namath rallied his troops bycompleting 18 of 37 passes for 255 yards and twotouchdowns. Despite being stopped by Texas’Frank Bedrick and Tommy Nobis on aquarterback sneak on a crucial fourth-and-onefrom the one-yard line, Namath was named thegame’s first Most Outstanding Player. Alabamawon the national championship the followingyear on the strength of Steve Sloan’s 20-of-28passing for 296 yards and two touchdowns.

Smith carried Florida to a 27-12 win overGeorgia Tech in 1967, rushing for a then-Orange

However, referee Foster Grosewhistled Kansas for having 12 men on the fieldand Penn State’s Bob Campbell plunged into theendzone to clinch a 15-14 win.

ORANGE BOWL HISTORY

NEBRASKA WINS BACK-TO-BACK NATIONALCHAMPIONSHIPS

In the 1970s, the Orange Bowl saw some ofthe game’s greatest coaches on its sidelines:Bryant, Paterno, Devine, Parseghian, McClendon,Schembechler, Hayes, Holtz and Switzer each ledtheir teams to Orange Bowl appearances, but thedecade truly belonged to Nebraska’s BobDevaney.

Nebraska won a pair of national champi-onships in 1971 and ’72 over LSU and Alabama,respectively. Jerry Tagge’s quarterback sneakon fourth-and-one from the one-yard line wasinitially stopped by the Tiger defense, but Taggestretched the ball over the goal line for a 17-12victory. The Cornhuskers’ 38-6 win over theCrimson Tide was keyed in the first quarter whenJohnny Rodgers broke a 77-yard punt return for atouchdown.

Devaney’s final game on the Nebraskasidelines ended in a third straight Orange Bowlvictory, this time a 40-6 win against Notre Damein 1973. This time Devaney moved Rodgers fromhis usual wingback position to I-Back and theHeisman Trophy winner closed out his collegiatecareer with arguably the greatest individualperformance in Orange Bowl history, scoring fourtouchdowns and passing for another. His fourthtouchdown of the day came on a 50-yard passreception in the third quarter—and then he satout the rest of the game.

The Orange Bowl Committee hosted its thirdnational championship game of the decade on NewYear’s Day ’76 when Oklahoma beat Michigan, 14-6.Barry Switzer coached the Sooners in the first ofhis nine Orange Bowl appearances against thelegendary Bo Schembechler.

Other memories of the decade included JoePaterno’s undefeated Nittany Lions of 1970 and’74, Ara Parseghian’s retirement following NotreDame’s 13-11 win over Alabama in 1975, andArkansas’ 31-6 upset of Oklahoma in 1978 afterLou Holtz suspended his top two running backs.

Penn State’s Franco Harris (1970) andHeisman Trophy winner John Cappelletti (1974)and Nebraska’s Rich Glover (1971, ’72 and ’73)were among those who roamed the Orange Bowlturf during the decade.

THE ‘80s: HOME OF THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

After hosting three national championshipgames in the 1970s, the Orange Bowl staged foursuch games in the ‘80s, due in large part to theprestige of and the Orange Bowl’s agreementwith the Big Eight Conference, as well as theemergence of the University of Miami on thenational scene. Big Eight teams Oklahoma orNebraska played in each Orange Bowl during thedecade, including a pair of national champi-onship game appearances by each.

Led by quarterback Homer Jordan anddefensemen Terry Kinard, Jeff Davis, and William“Refridgerator” Perry, Clemson capped a 12-0season and won the national championship witha 22-15 win over Nebraska in the 1982 OrangeBowl.

The 50th Orange Bowl in 1984 provided aperfect setting for one of the finest, and mostexciting, games in college football history. Miamiwon the school’s first of five national titles in a31-30 win over Nebraska in arguably the greatestcollege football game of all time. HowardSchnellenberger’s Hurricanes raced to a 17-0

Oklahoma made four straight Orange Bowlappearances from 1985-88 and earned a nationaltitle in ‘86 after defeating Penn State, 25-10. TheSooners competed for the national title again in’88—the Orange Bowl’s fourth national title gameof the decade—but it was Jimmy Johnson’sMiami team that earned its second nationalchampionship.

The ‘80s also showcased the Big Eight’sbest running backs and Miami’s best quarter-backs, as two Heisman Trophywinners–Oklahoma’s Billy Sims and Nebraska’sMike Rozier–both Heisman Trophy winners,played in three Orange Bowls apiece. Simstotaled 305 yards and three touchdowns and wasinstrumental in Sooner wins over Florida State in’80 and ’81. Rozier rushed for an Orange Bowl-record 340 yards from 1982-84.

Kosar’s 300 passing yards as a freshman inthe 1984 Orange Bowl and Steve Walsh’s record486 yards in wins over Oklahoma and Nebraskain ’88 and ’89 cemented Miami’s growth into adynasty.

FedEx BECOMES FIRST TITLE SPONSOR; MORE NATIONAL TITLES IN THE ‘90s

In 1990, FedEx, then known as FederalExpress, became the first title sponsor of theOrange Bowl, beginning a 21-year partnershipthat would become the longest-standing titlesponsor relationship of any college bowl game.During the 1990s, the Orange Bowl set an all-timerecord by hosting five national championshipgames, including four in the five years spanning1991-95.

The first two “FedEx” Orange Bowls pittednational newcomer Colorado against tradition-rich Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish knocked offthe top-ranked Buffaloes in 1990, but Coloradoearned a national championship with a thrilling,10-9 win in 1991 that went straight to the highlightreel. Trailing, 10-9, with 43 seconds left to play,Notre Dame’s Raghib “Rocket” Ismail returned apunt 91 yards for a would-be touchdown, but aclipping penalty nullified the play. The 1992

Orange Bowl pitted Miami and Nebraska againsteach other for the third time in nine years, withthe Hurricanes winning their fourth nationaltitle—Dennis Erickson’s second with Miami—since 1983.

The early ‘90s brought about anotherchange in the college football landscape, as theOrange Bowl Committee led the way to theformation of the Bowl Coalition, which was intro-duced as a means of providing order to the bowlselection process. The Orange Bowl becameone of four “Tier 1” bowls included under theCoalition, and hosted nationally prominent teamsFlorida State, Miami, or Nebraska in the sevenyears from 1992-98.

Under legendary coach Bobby Bowden,Florida State won its first two Orange Bowls—including the 1993 national championship—with27-14 and 18-16 wins over the Cornhuskers in ’93and ’94, respectively. The 1994 Nebraska-FloridaState match-up was especially memorable, as

ORANGE BOWL HISTORY

college football witnessed only the 11th meetingbetween No. 1 and No. 2-ranked teams.

Facing a 16-15 deficit in the fourth quarterafter Byron Bennett’s 27-yard field goal at the1:16 mark, Heisman Trophy winning quarterbackCharlie Ward directed Florida State’s “Fast BreakOffense” into position for Scott Bentley’s go-ahead 22-yard field goal with 21 seconds on theclock. However, Nebraska quarterback TommieFrazier moved the Cornhuskers to the Seminoles’28-yard line with one second to play, but Bennettmissed the game-winner.

In 1994, the Orange Bowl Committee votedto relocate its game to Pro Player Stadium (nowSun Life Stadium) as a condition of its inclusionin the Bowl Alliance, a successor to theCoalition. With the first Bowl Alliance game in1996 came the end of long standing relationships

with the Big Eight Conference and NBC. Thethree-year Bowl Alliance arrangement, whichincluded the Fiesta Bowl and Sugar Bowl, wastelevised on CBS.

In 1995, Nebraska joined Oklahoma teamsof 1978-81 and 1985-88 to play in four straightOrange Bowls, this time getting the better ofMiami, 24-17, as Tom Osborne won his firstnational title.

A new era began on New Year’s Eve 1996when Nebraska and Virginia Tech met in the 63rdOrange Bowl: it was the first Orange Bowl playedat Pro Player Stadium and the first to be playedbefore January 1. The Cornhuskers won theirsecond of three Classics in the four year span of1995-98 by defeating the Hokies, 41-21, and,behind Ahman Green’s Orange Bowl-record 206rushing yards, would go on to beat a Peyton

Manning-led Tennessee team in 1998 to claim theCornhuskers’ fifth national championship in TomOsborne’s final game.

The 1999 Orange Bowl signified both an endand a new beginning: the Classic returned toOrange Bowl Stadium for a one-year reprieveand was played for the first time as part of thenewly formed Bowl Championship Series.Florida and Syracuse combined for 762 yards oftotal offense in a 31-10 Gator victory.

2000’s: ORANGE BOWL RECORDS FALL IN THE NEW MILLENIUM

The first decade of the 21st century turnedinto a glorious one for the Orange Bowl when ithosted its first BCS National ChampionshipGames, two of college football’s most legendarycoaches, and a total of seven Heisman Trophywinners.

Michigan’s Tom Brady kicked off thedecade in 2000 by passing for an Orange Bowl-record 369 yards as the Wolverines defeatedAlabama, 35-34, in the first overtime game in theClassic’s history. Three years later, 2002Heisman Trophy winner Carson Palmer guidedSouthern California to five scoring drives of atleast 61 yards in a 38-17 win over Iowa in the firstof a record seven consecutive BCS appearancesfor the Trojans.

The four Bowl Championship Seriesgames—the Orange, Fiesta, Rose, and SugarBowls—rotated as the site of the nationalchampionship game every season in the firsteight years of the arrangement and 2001’s match-up between underdog Oklahoma and top-rankedFlorida State landed in South Florida.

upsetting Heisman Trophy winner Chris Weinke’sSeminoles, 13-2. Additionally, Florida State, whomade its third straight national title gameappearance, remains as the only team to play inthree consecutive BCS title games.

High-powered aerial attacks from Floridaand Maryland in 2002 broke several Orange Bowlrecords, as both teams combined for 56 passcompletions and 713 yards through the air, 1,019total yards, 11 touchdowns, and 79 points. TheGators, which won, 56-23, set single-teamrecords with 659 total yards and 456 passingyards in Steve Spurrier’s final game as theFlorida head coach. MOP Taylor Jacobs was onthe receiving end for 170 of Florida’s 456 passingyards and caught 10 passes—also Orange Bowlrecords—in addition to scoring two touchdowns.

In 2004, two in-state teams met in theOrange Bowl for the first time, as Miami went onto defeat arch-rival Florida State, 16-14, but theSeminoles would return just two seasons later.The 2006 Classic was of historic proportions, asJoe Paterno mixed his Penn State team withBobby Bowden’s Florida State squad and thelongtime friends provided plenty of excitement inthe 2006 game. In a contest that saw a puntreturn touchdown, safety, five lead changes orties, and three overtimes over an Orange Bowl-record four hours and 45 minutes, Kevin Kelly’s29-yard field goal netted Penn State a 26-23 win.Despite the loss, Seminole receiver Willie Reidtallied an Orange Bowl record 180 punt returnyards, breaking Nebraska’s Johnny Rodgers’ 33-year old record.

Southern California and Oklahoma’s 2005match-up proved to be a special event for theOrange Bowl, which hosted the BCS NationalChampionship Game for the second time andassembled two Heisman Trophy winning quarter-backs against each other. Matt Leinart, the 2004recipient made easy work of the Sooners and2003 Heisman winner Jason White, winning 55-19.

As part of a new BCS agreement prior tothe 2006-07 bowl season, the four BCS siteswould rotate a BCS National ChampionshipGame in addition to their traditional bowl.Unlikely participants Wake Forest and Louisvillemet in 2007, with the Cardinals taking a 24-13victory from the Demon Deacons. Virginia Techbecame the first team to play in two consecutiveOrange Bowls since Nebraska in 1998, losing toKansas, 24-21 in 2008, and defeating Cincinnati,20-7 in 2009.

It was the Orange Bowl’s turn to host theBCS National Championship Game again in 2009and it would host multiple Heisman winnerscompeting for a national title for the second time.Florida’s 2007 winner Tim Tebow and 2008 winnerSam Bradford of Oklahoma squared off in whatwould turn into a 24-14 Gator win, their secondnational championship in three seasons.

Once again, the Orange Bowl has movedinto a new decade, but this one promises to beas fruitful as the eight that preceded it. GeorgiaTech’s Anthony Allen, who caught a touchdown

pass for Louisville in the 2007 Orange Bowl,scored on a one-yard touchdown run in the 2010game, but the Yellow Jackets fell to Iowa, 24-14,in the coldest Orange Bowl in history.

Despite its 77th game in 2010, the OrangeBowl will have new beginnings. For the first time,ESPN will telecast the Orange Bowl, as well as

the other four BCS games and the Orange Bowlwill partner with Discover as its title sponsor,only the second title sponsor in its history. TheOrange Bowl’s new beginnings and old traditionspromise to bring the excitement of collegefootball to South Florida for another 77 years.

FOOTBALL BOWL ASSOCIATION

In 2009-10, 34 bowl games distributed morethan $210 million to NCAA schools. Morethan $900 million has been paid out in just the

past six years and the bowls will conservativelypayout more than $2.2 billion over the next tenyears.

Almost all bowl games are non-profit organiza-tions. The more revenue the bowl brings inthrough ticket sales, sponsors, etc., the moremoney can be paid to NCAA schools.

There have been articles on how teams don'tprofit from playing in a bowl and in fact someeven lose money. This is rarely true. Whilesome schools may elect to spend all of theallotted portion of their payout on bowl travelexpenses, most teams participating in bowlsmake money after all revenue sharing isdistributed. In fact, conferences share mostbowl revenue with all schools in their league,thus spreading the wealth with schools thatdon't even qualify for a bowl.

While it is true that some teams in conferencesthat don't send multiple teams to bowls don'treceive as much revenue, that is a key reasonadditional bowls have been added recently—toprovide more opportunities for thoseconference members and increase theirrevenue. Indeed some bowls have been setupwith the help of conferences to provide all theother benefits of a bowl.

Bowl Games Are Tradition... Bowl games have been a part of college footballfor more than 90 years. They have providedsome of the greatest moments in collegefootball history and add to the pageantry, color,and excitement of the game. Bowl games areas much a part of the tradition of collegefootball as any other aspect of the game.

While there has been an increase in the numberof bowl games, half of the bowls have beenaround for at least 15 years and 12 of thesehave been in existence for 25 or more years.

The addition of bowl games has provided oppor-tunities for more schools to participate in thebowl experience. That means more studentathletes, coaches, cheerleaders, bandmembers, halftime performers, administrators,alumni, college football fans, and communitiescan be a part of this unforgettable experience.

College football bowl games offer these peoplememories that can last a lifetime. Last seasonabout 6,200 student-athletes, 12,500 bandmembers, 1,200 cheerleaders, 50,000 - 100,000performers, and millions of fans and communitymembers were a part of this experience. No other intercollegiate sport plays as fewregular season games as football and everygame means something, conference champi-onships mean something. (This is different frombasketball where you can lose a dozen gamesas long as you win in your conferencetournament).

Bowl Games Are Popular... Total attendance for the upcoming bowl seasonis expected to be 1.6 million fans. The averagecapacity-filled of the bowl stadiums last seasonwas 85.7 percent. Thirteen bowls were at least92% filled. Ten bowls were sold out. Thecombined TV audience for the 28 bowls was arecord average of 125 million households.

Bowls Benefit Communities... Bowl games generate an estimated $1.3 billiondollars of economic impact for their hostcommunities each year. This does not includethe value of exposure.

BOWL CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES

The 2010-11 season will be the 13th year for theBowl Championship Series (BCS), which is a five-game arrangement for postseason collegefootball that is designed to match the two top-rated teams in a National Championship Gameand to create exciting and competitive matchupsamong eight other highly regarded teams in fourother games.

The five bowl games are the Discover OrangeBowl, Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, the Rose Bowl Gamepresented by Vizio, the Allstate Sugar Bowl, andthe BCS National Championship Game that isplayed at one of the bowl sites. The 2011 TostitosBCS National Championship Game will be playedat the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale,Ariz.

The BCS enhances the importance of the regularseason and maintains the bowl system for thebenefit of the game. It has been undeniablysuccessful in achieving those goals; collegefootball has never been more popular, and theBCS is a significant reason for that. Additionally,it has provided more access to the major bowls,more television exposure, and more postseasonrevenue than ever before.

The BCS is not an entity. Instead, it is an eventmanaged by the 11 NCAA Football Bowl Subdi-vision conferences—all of them "BCS Confer-

ences"—and the University of Notre Dame througha series of contracts among bowls and televisionnetworks. The conferences are the Atlantic Coast,Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Conference USA, Mid-American, Mountain West, Sun Belt, Pacific-10,Southeastern and Western Athletic.

Representing their constituents, the conferencecommissioners and the Notre Dame athleticsdirector make decisions regarding all BCSmatters, in consultation with an athletics directorsadvisory group and subject to the approval of apresidential oversight committee whose membersrepresent all 120 Football Bowl Subdivision(formerly known as Division I-A) programs.

The BCS games are operated by community-based organizations in each of the host cities. Inaddition, there are 29 other postseason bowls,which are managed independently by entities in26 cities around the nation and in Canada. All

bowl games provide meaningful season-endingopportunities to teams.

This robust system of many postseason bowlgames offers rewards for teams and places agreat premium on the regular season. Footballweekends are an important ingredient in theoverall college experience—going well beyondsimply what occurs in the athletics department.

For many institutions, a significant amount of therevenue that supports all athletic programs isgenerated by regular-season football. Regular-season football weekends also permit univer-sities, alumni, and other supporters of highereducation to build and maintain close and lastingrelationships. A thriving bowl structure helpsensure that the regular season remains strongand vibrant.

While seeking to preserve and enhance collegefootball's unique traditions, the BCS arrangementaims to bring some sense of finality to eachseason by pairing the top two teams in a NationalChampionship Game. The top two teams werematched in bowl games infrequently before theBCS, when conferences were contractuallyobligated to certain games and there was noflexibility to attempt to match the top teams.

Bison Capture First Orange Bowl

Bucknell, champion of the smallerEastern colleges, was the firstteam invited to the Orange BowlClassic, which had been calledthe Palm Festival for the previoustwo years.

Bison head coach HookMylin and his staff took several days to decide onaccepting the invitation to bring his team toMiami. They finally said yes, but not withoutprecautions—280 gallons of their own watersupply from Pennsylvania to combat the heat.

Bucknell back Bill Wilkinson scored the firsttouchdown, and the Bison defense held Miami tojust four first downs and 28 yards of total offenseen route to the inaugural 26-0 victory.

Another famous sidelight from the 1935Classic was the transmission of the first wire photoacross the United States by the Associated Press.

Orange Bowl Declared “Major Bowl”

A match-up of undefeatedTennessee and Oklahomapropelled the Orange Bowl intothe "major bowl" arena in 1939.

It took some marketing andpublic relations moves by theOBC's Ernie Seiler to bring the

Sooners to South Florida. Seiler went to Normanand covered the campus with posters of palmtrees, beaches, and Miami's young women.After a stirring pep talk to the OU squad, theSooners voted to accept the Orange Bowl offerover more lucrative ones from the Cotton, Rose,and Sugar Bowls.

Seiler then asked Oklahoma head coachTom Stidham to call his friend, head coach BobNeyland at Tennessee, to set up the match-up.When Neyland accepted, the Orange Bowl hadthe game of the year. Oklahoma had recordedeight shutouts in its 10-0 season, while the Volun-teers had seven in their 10-0 campaign.

Tennessee dominated the game, racking up268 yards of offense and limiting the Sooners to81. Play was rough in this contest as the teamsracked up a total of 242 yards in penalties, andseveral players were ejected from the game.

While the rest of the statecelebrated its centennialanniversary, a capacity crowdsaw what was probably the mostexciting finish in Orange Bowlhistory, as Miami's Al Hudsonintercepted a pass and returned

it 89 yards for the winning touchdown with notime remaining on the clock to defeat a shockedHoly Cross squad, 13-6.

The home crowd held its breath as theCrusaders had a last-second chance to break a6-6 tie. Only 10 seconds remained when HolyCross quarterback Gene DeFilippo's pass wasreleased toward intended receiver Bob Conway.

Downfield, the ball was batted into the airby Hurricanes’ linebacker Bill Krasnai at theMiami 11 and into the hands of Hudson.

But theBig Seven champions held as Ralph Felton'splunge on fourth down came up six inches short.

Maryland continued to knock: eight timesinside Sooner territory, but came away empty.While Terp kickers failed to connect on two fieldgoals, Oklahoma's Larry Griggs took an optionpitch 28 yards for the game's only score.

Oklahoma's streak had beenkept alive since it beat Maryland,

7-0, in that contest. The Terrapins came into thisgame riding their own 15-game streak.

A slow first half produced only a Marylandtouchdown, but the explosive speed of BudWilkinson's number one-ranked team slowlywore down the Terrapins.

The Sooners took command in the thirdquarter. Quarterback Tommy McDonald's 32-yard punt return before Oklahoma's firstoffensive series put the ball at the Maryland 46.A seven-play drive ensued in which the Soonersraced from one play to the next in a speedupoffense that confused the Terrapins. During onespan, Oklahoma ran three plays in 38 actualseconds.

McDonald scored the touchdown on a 4-yard run. On the next series, Oklahoma utilizedthe hurry-up offense once again. The 16-playdrive ended with a 1-yard sneak by Jay O'Nealand a 14-6 lead.

The Terrapins threatened soon after, but aJerry Tubbs interception stopped them at theSooner 26. Maryland came right back and had afirst down at the Oklahoma 30, but Carl Doddintercepted a Lynn Beightol pass and raced 82yards for the touchdown.

Navy defensive back Greg Mather set the"big play" tone in the opening quarter on a 98-yard return of a picked off lateral that Missourihalfback Donnie Smith had tried to direct toquarterback Ron Taylor.

Reserve running back RolandSales set an Orange Bowl recordwith 205 rushing yards on 22carries and a pair of touchdownsin Arkansas’ 31-6 upset over achampionship-minded Oklahoma.

With top-ranked Texaslosing earlier in the day in the Cotton, allOklahoma had to do was win to achieve the topranking. Also in the Sooners' corner was thesuspension of three Arkansas starters by CoachLou Holtz prior to the trip to Miami. But it was notto be.

Barry Switzer went against his ownstrategy by choosing to receive the openingkickoff rather than play defense. Oklahomafumbled inside its own 10 on the third play of thegame and Arkansas immediately scored for alead it never relinquished.

The fumbles by Oklahoma backs Billy Simsand Kenny King turned into touchdowns and itwas quickly a 14-0 Razorback lead. Arkansaswent nine yards in two plays for the first score, a1-yard Sales run, and 58 yards in seven plays thatculminated in another 1-yard run—this one byRon Calcagni.

Trailing 10-9 with 43 seconds remaining,Notre Dame's Raghib "Rocket" Ismail broke theColorado punt coverage and ran 91 yards for thewinning score—only to have it nullified by a lateclipping penalty.

Gators Ride Tebow, Defense to Title

In a game that featured two ofthe country’s most dynamicoffenses and two HeismanTrophy winning quarterbacks, itwas the defensive grudge matchbetween the second-rankedFlorida Gators and top-ranked

Oklahoma Sooners that dominated the 2009 BCSNational Championship.

The high-scoring shootout betweenHeisman Trophy winners Tim Tebow and SamBradford never materialized.

Tebow shook off a career-high two inter-ceptions to rescue the Gators, driving them to theclinching score with his notorious jump pass toDavid Nelson with 3:07 left to make it 24-14.

Percy Harvin returned from an ankle injuryand dashed for 122 yards on only nine carries forthe Gators. His 52-yard gallop set up JonathanPhillips' 27-yard field goal early in the fourthquarter for a 17-14 lead.

It was Florida's third national title overall,the third straight for a team from the South-eastern Conference, and it was the Sooners' fifthstraight loss in a BCS game. Oklahoma set amodern record for scoring with 702 points thisseason and put up at least 60 points in each of itslast five games, yet never found its rhythm.
