The 1966 edition to the Sugar Bowl featured the sixth ranked Missouri Tigers and the unranked Florida Gators.

After a scoreless first quarter, Missouri went on a tear in the second quarter. Brown scored on a 16 yard touchdown run giving the Tigers a 7-0 lead. Roland threw an 11 yard touchdown pass to Denny as the Tigers extended their lead to 14-0. Bates kicked a 27 yard field goal as Missouri led 17-0 at halftime.

In the third quarter, Bates kicked a 34 yard field goal as Missouri led 20-0 at the end of three. Florida attempted to make a furious comeback in the fourth quarter. Steve Spurrier threw a 22 yard touchdown pass to Harper as Florida got within 20-6. Spurrier threw another 21 yard touchdown pass to Casey as Florida got within 20-12. Spurrier scored himself from 2 yards out, as the score became 20-18. Florida failed on three consecutive 2 point conversion attempts, and had they just kicked the extra points, they may have ended with a tie.

Florida's Steve Spurrier was named Sugar Bowl MVP.
