Here are the bios for this matchup:
No. 4 seed Greg Allen vs. No. 5 seed Jamie Dukes
Greg Allen burst onto the scene as a freshman in 1981 and went on to become one of the most dynamic and prolific running backs in FSU history. Some 35 years after his college career ended, Allen's name remains prominent in the Seminoles' record books. The speedster still holds the school mark for most rushing yards in a game (322 vs. Western Carolina), and he ran for more than 200 yards in three other games -- twice against LSU and once against Arizona State. Allen ranks No. 3 all-time in career rushing yardage with 3,769, trailing only Dalvin Cook and Warrick Dunn, and he's second to only Cook in career rushing touchdowns with 44. His 20 rushing touchdowns in 1982 still ranks No. 1 all-time. Allen produced an astounding 17 100-yard games en route to earning All-America honors as a junior and senior. He was a second-round pick of the Cleveland Browns but only played briefly in the NFL.
Jamie Dukes is one of the greatest offensive linemen in Florida State history, and his college resume is virtually unparalleled. Dukes started 48 games during his four-year career and helped pave the way for some very high-powered offenses. He was only the fifth player in FSU history to receive Consensus All-America honors when he accomplished the feat in 1985, and he received some version of All-America recognition all four years. While he was massive physically, Dukes was very quick for his size and went on to an impressive 10-year career in the NFL before going into broadcasting.
