The Spurrier legend

One reason to name Florida Field for Steve.

From the 1966 Florida vs Auburn game.

The coaching staff debated on the sideline whether to kick or go. The distance, though, was just beyond placekicker Wayne Barfield's range. That's when Spurrier chimed in. He wanted to kick it. Next scene: Spurrier lined up for a 40-yard field goal — and split the uprights for the go-ahead points with 2:12 to play. That's the day a legend was born. As Atlanta Journal columnist John Logue wrote from the game, "Blindfolded, with his back to the wall and hands tied behind him, Steve Spurrier would be a two-point favorite at his own execution."

Spurrier quote: "Those goal posts are wide enough that if you kick it right, it'll go through."
