There probably will be for senior Doug Johnson, too, who is playing his first game in Auburn. Remember, Johnson was suspended for the '97 game, one more strange twist. Johnson will have a chance to be part of something special tonight. If Florida wins, it will be the first time UF has won three in a row on the plains. But strange things happen in Auburn.
Odd years mean odd games.
In Steve Spurrier's only game there as a quarterback, in 1965, Florida goes in ranked seventh in the nation and leaves with a 28-17 thumping. Florida's stunning win at Auburn in 1973 with a brand new backfield that includes the first start by a black quarter back in school history. Auburn was quarterbacked by Palatka's Clayton Beauford. In 1985, Florida beats Auburn 14-10 and moves to No. 1 for the first time in school history. With 26 seconds left, Reggie Slack found Shayne Wasden wide open behind the Florida defense for a touchdown and a 10-7 victory.
