 Most members of the Gators' defense lay down on the field in the fourth quarter, allowing the Miami Hurricanes to score a touchdown to allow Florida's offense to get the ball back so Reaves could set the record.The event is referred to as the "Florida Flop", and it is often recalled bitterly by Hurricanes alumni and fans.Reaves returned to Gainesville during the NFL offseason and completed a bachelor's degree in business administration in 1973.
