disappointing season ended on a controversial note. With the Gators leading the <a href="/wiki/Miami_Hurricanes_football" title="Miami Hurricanes football">Miami Hurricanes</a> 45–8 late in the fourth quarter of the last game of the season, senior quarterback <a href="/wiki/John_Reaves" title="John Reaves">John Reaves</a> was just 14 yards short of the NCAA career record for passing yardage, but Miami had the ball and seemed destined to run out the clock. At the urging of Florida defensive captain Harvin Clark, Dickey agreed to permit the Gators defense to allow the Hurricanes to score, thus returning the ball to the Gators offense and giving Reaves a chance to break the record. Dubbed the "<a href="/wiki/Florida_Flop" class="mw-redirect" title="Florida Flop">Florida Flop</a>" or "Gator Flop", the move worked. When Miami snapped the ball from the Florida 8-yard line, the Gators instantly flopped to the turf, allowing Miami quarterback John Hornibrook to walk uncontested into the endzone. Florida's offense got one more possession, and Reeves promptly broke the record with a pass to favorite target Carlos Alvarez. After the game, many Gator players celebrated by jumping into the pool at the <a href="/wiki/Orange_Bowl_(stadium)" class="mw-redirect" title="Orange Bowl (stadium)">Orange Bowl</a>'s east end zone used by the <a href="/wiki/Miami_Dolphins" title="Miami Dolphins">Miami Dolphins</a>' live mascot, <a href="/wiki/Flipper_(mascot)" title="Flipper (mascot)">Flipper</a>. </p><p>Miami coach <a href="/wiki/Fran_Curci" title="Fran Curci">Fran Curci</a> was so angered by the turn of events that he refused to shake Dickey's hand.
