The oranges didnt start til the latter part of the game.


The oranges started raining down almost immediately. If memory serves, Hilliard scored the first touchdown. Oranges were already pelting the endzone and Dalton by the time he got within 5 yards of paydirt.

Poor Mark Jeffers (who was in the Tiger costume) was the target of a lot of the oranges. He said he got hit dozens of times.


But no, I don't remember the horse.

Oranges started after first touchdown, fans were warned. More oranges after the 2nd TD, Tigers penalized 15 yards. 3rd TD oranges flew, but not as many. Once the game got out of hand, the oranges were flying almost constantly. I was sitting on the east side behind the FSU bench. By the end of the 3rd Qtr, you could barely make out the upper deck. When the tigers scored it looked like the foggy sky was raining oranges.

On the way to the game, it seemed like there was someone selling sacks of oranges on every corner.
