The 1960 Gator Bowl was a post-season college football bowl game between the Florida Gators representing the Southeastern Conference (SEC) and the Baylor Bears of the Southwest Conference (SWC). Florida defeated Baylor 13–12.[1] Both quarterbacks were the game's Most Valuable Player: Florida's Larry Libertore and Baylor's Bobby Ply.[2]
Led by Vic Miranda, the Gator defense halted a 75-yard drive by Baylor on the half-yard line in the first quarter, setting the stage for two second quarter touchdowns.[3] Baylor running back Ronnie Goodwin dropped the winning 2-point try in the closing seconds. Baylor quarterback Bobby Ply set a Gator Bowl record with 13 completions.[4]
