Yards to Glory

59. Bounce Back

Peter Warrick does it all in title game

Jan. 4, 2000: Facing a Virginia Tech special-teams unit that had allowed only nine punt returns for 36 yards that season, Florida State's Peter Warrick nearly doubled that yardage on one play. With FSU leading the Hokies 21-7, Warrick took a one-hop punt from his own 41, cut to the inside then shed a defender before sprinting down the right sideline for the 59-yard score that helped the Seminoles to a 46-29 national championship victory in New Orleans.
