1993 Peach Bowl (January)

The 1992 season edition of the Peach Bowl featured the North Carolina Tar Heels and the Mississippi State Bulldogs. It was the first Peach Bowl played at the Georgia Dome after 20 years at Atlanta–Fulton County Stadium.

North Carolina came from behind for the win after trailing 14-0 after a quarter of play. Mississippi State missed chances to extend its lead in the second quarter when two touchdowns were scuttled by holding penalties. The Tar Heels then drove 82 yards to open the second half and Natrone Means pounded in the score, UNC's only offensive touchdown of the day. Means finished with 128 yards.

Bracey Walker blocked two punts, including one for a 24-yard scoring return that tied the game at 14 in the third quarter. The defensive MVP also laid a big hit to key a 44-yard interception return by teammate Cliff Baskervillle for the go-ahead TD in the fourth quarter. MSU added a late field goal, but turned the ball over via interception and downs inside the Tar Heels' 30 on two late drives.

1993 Peach Bowl (December)

1993 Peach Bowl matched the Clemson Tigers of the Atlantic Coast Conference and the Kentucky Wildcats of the Southeastern Conference. Clemson entered the game at 8-3 and ranked #24 in the AP poll after being ranked as high as #21 during the season; Kentucky was 6-5 and unranked. Clemson was favored by 2 points. The teams' last meeting had been in 1985, with Kentucky winning 26-7.

Kentucky fielded the opening kickoff and drove down field to the Clemson 2-yard line. Kentucky quarterback Pookie Jones threw a pass to receiver Alfonzo Browning and Browning stretched to put the ball across the goal line for a touchdown. Replays showed that Browning scored but this was before college football's instant replay rule and the official ruling of a fumble stood. Clemson took over on its own 1-yard line and marched 99 yards (15 running plays, 3 passing plays) for a 2-yard touchdown run by running back Emory Smith and a 7-0 lead.

Kentucky was stopped again on the Clemson 1-yard line before scoring its first points in the second quarter on a 34-yard field goal by Nicky Nickels.
