Game Notes

#2 Hurricanes hold off the #5 Seminoles 22-14 in the wet and mud.

Miami capitalizes on Florida State mistakes, and minimizes damage from its own 5 turnovers. The Hurricanes use a blocked punt to set up 1 FG, convert an unplanned onside kick into a 6-0 lead, and then extend it to 12-0 on Brock Berlin's 19-yard screen pass to Jarrett Payton for a score.

Sean Taylor returns his 2nd pick of Chris Rix, 50 yards for a TD and 19-0 lead in the 2nd quarter. Rix rallies Florida State briefly in the 3rd quarter, but Miami stalls any comeback until the Noles score on the final play of the game. Payton rushes for 97 yards as the Hurricanes rely on ball-control amid wet and slick conditions. Kellen Winslow Jr. catches 7 passes for 106 yards to keep the chains moving.
