Oh. My. God…. What a game… What a game.
There’s never a dull-moment in the rivalry, is there?
Miami won a nail-biting heart-stopper at Doak Campbell stadium in Tallahassee against rival Florida State in their season opener on Labor Day, handing FSU head coach Bobby Bowden his first opening-day defeat in 15 years and his first ever at Doak Campbell Stadium.The game was not decided until the final second had ticked off the game clock, and even then the final play–an end-zone pass by Christian Ponder to wide receiver Jarmon Forston–turned out, after review, to be incomplete.
I swear, Bowden must have nightmares about the Miami Hurricanes. I’m sure he knew in his heart of hearts that if any program were to hand him a loss at home on Opening Day, it’d be the ‘Canes.
Brilliant performances were to be found on both sides of the gridiron, but fledgling Miami quarterback Jacory Harris grew up on national television in a sometimes-shaky, but otherwise mesmerizing performance on the field, racking up 386 passing yards and two touchdowns.
This is one of the very best college football games I have ever seen.
Good job, Canes!
