(pass failed) A 34400 College FROM PAGE I Shumann and Larry Key Kurt Un-glaub was the heir apparent but he has had a history of injuries the last two years Flowers saw sparse action his first two seasons catching only 22 passes But as Haffner and Head Coach Bobby Bowden say Flowers blossomed into the leading role this year said before the season that we would have to have some people step in and come through for us if we were going to go Bowden said is the kind of player you've got to have to be successful" Haffner added: just been over and above what we expected our key third-down guy a lot bigger and faster than the receivers we had last year and he has excellent leaping ability He was a tight end in high school (Jacksonville Raines) and taken a while for him to get DESPITE the accolades Flowers sees considerable room for improvement not doing as good as I'd like he said been basic catches not really great ones And the last three or four games I been thrown to that much because getting double The Seminoles play their last three games at home facing Navy and Florida after Virginia Tech They need to win the next two to keep hopes alive for a bowl bid the start of the year there was a morale said Flowers weren't as enthused as we were last year We said wow lets go out and win rah rah But we really want it say it just for the coach to hear I think we have that morale back now We'll be anxious after this week Haffner has a suggestion if the Seminoles need further motivation going to try to get 11 bees and put them in the headgear of all 1 1 offensive he said stopped when linebacker Yancey Sutton sacked Trotman for seven yards on fourth and six But Davis fumbled on the first play giving the ball back to Auburn for another try this time from the Florida 34 That opportunity died three plays later when tackle Robin Fisher dropped Trotman for four yards at the 33 Auburn seemed to wilt after failing again The Gators took the ball and roared 67 yards on four running plays for a TD and a 31-7 margin Davis gained 17 yards Wil- liams 29 Collinsworth 20 and Johnson one for his second score Georgia Tech? Never heard of Fire the coach? Why? Midway through the final period Auburn second-string quarterback Mike Blanchard connected with split end Mark Robbins for a 42-yard bomb to the Florida 15 The Tigers moved to a first down at the one

line two plays later also was a clever gutsy call The sophomore back had fumbled twice in a 17-13 loss to Georgia Tech the week before once on fourth-and-goal at the Tech one and was crushed afterward
