FSU’s Peter Warrick caught six passes for 163 yards and set a Sugar Bowl record by scoring 20 points. Michael Vick, Virginia Tech’s redshirt freshman quarterback, guided his team to 503 yards, most in a losing Sugar Bowl effort. Warrick helped stake the Seminoles to a 28-7 lead in the first half; however Vick galvanized the Hokiesm who actually went ahead 29-28 at the end of the third quarter. Then Warrick and Florida State took over again.
