SEC Football Championship Game History

1992 SEC Championship Game
Alabama 28, Florida

The Southeastern Conference etched its mark in the college football history books on Dec. 5, 1992. The league became the first in Division I-A to stage a championship game between its two division winners.

Western Division Champion Alabama and Eastern Division co-Champion Florida provided plenty of fireworks as the Crimson Tide posted a 28-21 victory before a capacity crowd of 83,091 at Legion Field in Birmingham.

The game, which was televised nationally by ABC Sports and earned a 9.8 rating, was not decided until the final minutes. With the Gators facing first-and-10 at their own 21, Alabama cornerback Antonio Langham returned an interception 27 yards for the game-winning score. The play, which came with just 3:16 remaining, earned Langham Most Valuable Player honors and thwarted the debut of a tie-breaking system in Division I-A football.

The victory secured Alabama the role of host at the USF&G Sugar Bowl. On Jan. 1, 1993, the second-ranked Crimson Tide handed No. 1 Miami a 34-13 defeat to capture the SEC's 12th national crown.

1993 SEC Championship Game
Florida 28, Alabama 13

The SEC staged its second annual Championship Football Game on Dec. 4, 1993, with Eastern Division Champion Florida defeating Western Division winner Alabama, 28-13, in front of a crowd of 76,345 at Birmingham's Legion Field.

The Gators were led by quarterback Terry Dean, who passed for 256 yards and two touchdowns en route to Championship Game Most Valuable Player honors. After virtually three quarters of neck-and-neck football, and the Gators leading by one, 14-13, Florida was faced with a fourth-and-eight situation. Punter Shayne Edge kept the drive alive with a 20-yard spring, and on the next play, Dean hit wideout Jack Jackson with a 43-yard strike to give Florida an eight- point cushion. From there, the Florida defense held its ground and the Gators secured the victory.

The victory secured Florida as the host of the USF&G Sugar Bowl. On Jan. 1, 1994, the eight-ranked Gators defeated West Virginia, 41-7, in New Orleans to win their first Sugar Bowl title.

1994 SEC Championship Game
Florida 24, Alabama 23

Atlanta was the site of the 1994 SEC Football Championship, as a Georgia Dome record 74,751 watched Eastern Division Champion Florida capture its second straight conference crown with a 24-23 victory over Western Division Champion Alabama.

The Gators effectively moved the ball through the air, as Danny Wuerffel connected on 23 of 41 passes for 227 yards and a pair of touchdowns. But at the conclusion of the hard-fought contest, it was Florida defensive standout Ellis Johnson who distinguished himself as the game's most valuable player. The rugged senior recorded five tackles, one pass breakup and an SEC Championship record three tackles behind the line of scrimmage, including two quarterback sacks.

Trailing 17-10 at the half, Alabama regained the lead, 23-17, with two third-quarter field goals and an interception return for a touchdown with less than nine minutes to play. Florida responded with an 80-yard, 10-play drive which ended with a two-yard touchdown pass from Wuerffel to Chris Doering with just 5:29 remaining in the fourth quarter. The extra point by Judd Davis secured the winning margin, as the Gator defense forced an interception on the final Alabama drive.

The SEC's third title game attracted a television audience of more than 30 million viewers. ABC's broadcast earned a 10.5 rating, marking the network's most-watched college football game since the 1991 season.

1995 SEC Championship Game
Florida 34, Arkansas 3

A prime-time (ABC) television audience and a sell-out crowd (71,325) in the Georgia Dome witnessed Eastern Division Champion Florida defeat Western Division Champion Arkansas, 34-3, in the fourth annual SEC Championship Game.

The Gators, who went through the regular season undefeated, continued its dominance on this night. Florida outgained the Razorbacks, 396-299, and committed no turnovers, while forcing Arkansas into four giveaways.

Arkansas got on the scoreboard first when Todd Latourette kicked a 36-yard field goal with 7:26 left in the first quarter. The Razorbacks were dealt some bad news on that drive, however. Sophomore running back Madre Hill, who finished third in the conference in rushing, was lost for the game with a knee injury.

The Gators took the ensuing kickoff and went 80 yards in seven plays, capped off when game MVP Danny Wuerffel connected with Chris Doering on a 22-yard touchdown pass. Florida would never look back.

Leading 24-3 in the third quarter, the Gator defense got into the act. Florida nicklebacker Ben Hanks took an errant fumble and ran the pigskin back 95 yards for a touchdown.

The SEC's fourth title game attracted a television audience of over 25 million viewers. ABC's broadcast earned a 7.2 rating.

1997 SEC Championship Game
Tennessee 30, Auburn 29

Yet another SEC Championship Game went down to the wire in 1997, when Tennesee defeated Auburn, 30-29.

Before a Georgia Dome Sporting Event record crowd of 74,896, the Vols came from a 20-7 second quarter deficit to defeat the Tigers on Peyton Manning's 73-yard TD pass to Marcus Nash early in the fourth quarter.

A defensive struggle ensued and the Vols were off to the FedEx Orange Bowl to play for the Bowl Alliance National Championship while the Tigers returned to Atlanta to play in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl.

The Vols got on the scoreboard first on a 40-yard TD pass from Manning to Peerless Price. However, that was all the scoring Tennessee could muster until a Jeff Hall 27-yard field goal midway through the second quarter.

In the meantime, Auburn accounted for 20 unanswered points, led by a 24-yard fumble return by Brad Ware and a 51-yard TD pass from Dameyune Craig to Tyrone Goodson. AU's Jaret Holmes also hit two field goals.

After the two teams traded touchdowns midway through the third quarter, Tennessee mounted its charge. Behind 27-17, UT scored on a 46-yard pass from Manning to Price. On the PAT attempt, Auburn's Quinton Reese returned the blocked kick for a two-point conversion to pull the Vols to within six, 29-23.

That set up the heroics on Nash's 73-yard TD reception from Manning and Hall's PAT that won the game for Tennessee.

The game's MVP was UT quarterback Peyton Manning, who completed 25 of 43 passes for 373 yards with four TDs and two interceptions.

Behind 14-10 midway through the fourth quarter, Tennessee scored two late touchdowns to hold off a tenacious Mississippi State squad, 24-14, before a sellout crowd of 74,795 and a national television audience (ABC).

The win by Tennessee enabled the Vols to stay undefeated for the season and participate in the National Championship Game at the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. In that contest, Tennessee defeated Florida State, 23-16, to win the national title.

Midway through the final quarter, MSU's Kevin Prentiss returned a punt 83 yards for a touchdown to put the Bulldogs ahead, 14-10. A sudden sense of urgency hit the Vols as their chances for a national championship were riding on the result of the SEC title tilt.

On UT's following drive, QB Tee Martin drove the Vols down the field and hit WR Peerless Price with a 41-yard TD pass with 6:15 left to give Tennessee a 17-14 lead.

Miss. State fumbled on the first play of the next drive, giving the ball back to Tennessee at the MSU 26-yard line. All it took was one play for Martin to find Cedric Wilson for a 26-yard TD pass to give the Vols the final 24-14 margin.

The Bulldogs played in the Southwestern Bell Cotton Bowl, falling to Texas, 38-11.

Florida got on the scoreboard first, on a 3-yard pass from Earnest Graham to Erron Kinney, in the game's first possession. The Alabama defense would allow Florida just 59 total offensive yards the rest of the way.

The Alabama defense intercepted four passes and kept the Florida offense from converting a third down in the contest. The Tide held the Gators to their lowest total offense, passing yards, pass completions and first down totals ever under head coach Steve Spurrier.

Grossman completed 17 of 26 passes for 238 yards for the Gators while UF running back Earnest Graham set an SEC Championship Game record with 169 rushing yards on 19 carries.

The Gators went out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter against the Tigers. Grossman's 10-yard TD strike to Reche Caldwell with 13:09 left in the first quarter put the Gators ahead to stay, 7-0. Another Grossman to Caldwell strike, this time for 66 yards, added to the score with 2:42 left in the first quarter.

2001 SEC Championship Game
LSU 31, Tennessee 20

LSU, in its first appearance in the SEC Championship Game, won its first conference title since 1986, defeating Tennessee, 31-20, in the 10th anniversary of the SEC's title tile before 74,843 fans at the Georgia Dome.

Trailing 17-16 entering the fourth quarter, LSU was directed on two touchdown drives by backup QB Matt Mauck, who entered the game for the injured Rohan Davey in the first half. Mauck scored his second rushing touchdown of the game on the second play of the fourth quarter from 13 yards out, and after a successful two-point conversion, put the Tigers ahead to stay, 24-17.

LSU put the game out of reach late in the fourth quarter on a one-yard TD run by Domanick Davis to make the final margin, 31-20. Davey was knocked out of the game in the first half with bruised ribs. Mauck directed the Tigers to the game's first touchdown, capping it with a four-yard TD run to put LSU ahead, 7-0.

Tennessee then scored 17 unaswered points in the second quarter, including two passing TDs from quarterback Casey Clausen. The first was a 31-yard pass to Kelley Washington and second was a three-yard pass to Troy Fleming. LSU's John Corbello broke the Vol scoring string with a 45-yard field goal with just 29 seconds left in the first half.

Corbello added two field goals in the third quarter, which closed the Vol lead to 17-16 by quarter's end.

Mauck, voted the game's MVP, completed just five-of-15 passes for 67 yards, but also rushed for 43 yards on 12 carries and two TDs. LSU was also led by another backup at running back, Domanick Davis, who had 78 yards on 16 carries and a touchdown. LSU's leading rusher for the season, LaBrandon Toefield, was injured a knee in the second quarter after rushing seven times for 18 yards.

Tennessee's Casey Clausen completed 27-of-43 passes for 332 yards and 2 TDs. Nine completions went to Washington for 140 yards while Donte' Stallworth had seven grabs for 96 yards. The LSU defense held the SEC's top rusher, UT's Travis Stephens, to just 37 yards on 14 carries.
