The Comeback - 2003 Miami Hurricanes vs Florida Gators Highlights

When Xavier Beitia missed a kick wide left in 2002, I think the OB caused an earthquake in Little Havana.

I miss the Orange Bowl. They took a lot away from this program when they moved the games to Hard Rock, and made the Marlins Staduim for that piss poor baseball team. This is a Miami native who’s taxes paid for it so yea 💯

[@bradlott9876]

Agreed. When they left the OB they lost their identity

[@adityag485]

Brad Lott tbh I think they should move the hurricanes to a new stadium instead of hard rock since it’s so far out build it near campus and make it smaller and similar to the OB so it’s a home field advantage

[@DR-hy6zw]

Star Child the OB was the heart and soul of the program...my dad cried when they knocked it down. He refuses to step foot in marlins stadium

Will never forget this game. It was my wedding date! Kept sneaking over to the other room at the reception hall to catch the score. We didn't leave the hall till late, thankfully the owner was enjoying the game as well. I nearly missed giving my speech because of the score during the early part of the game. Wifey complained but I warned her, I'm a CANE, can't miss a rivalry game.

[@terell2k12]

Brock Berlin was the sole reason in my opinion Miami didn't make it back to the championship that year. I thought this was the best defense Miami ever had and he blew it with his inconsistency.

[@dirtyclapbomb6135]

[@lawnfascist4890]

@@dirtyclapbomb6135 That's true. He would have been better off going to a small-ish school right out of HS to develop more before going to a big name school. He stayed in the shotgun for most of his HS career and it always shocked me that major colleges were after him like they were because he was just so limited. But he was pretty damn good in the shotgun and he was also a really good guy off the field.

[@Thraxxx03]

The good ole days. Back when we still kicked ass in the orange bowl. But I’m still hopeful for his coming season. Coach Diaz bring back the cane legacy we all know and miss!

[@IMAWriterRobJ]

we hope..but notice how much time..and the beautiful pocket Berlin often had? Only 1999-2003 did the Canes still place a solid reliance on the O-Line. Same for the Dolphins.

This is one of the greatest come-backs for my Canes for as long as I can remember, and I'm 58 now!! Brock Berlin was a much better QB than Canes fans give him credit for! He beat FSU every time they played us!! He was probably not as Dorsey, but very close, IMHO! I loved this comeback, and loved how Brock did them nasty gayterds , lol!!!

+Danny Canes I totally agree!

[@crow2111]

[@Dc328]

+K. dot and +Justin Crowder, Thank guys! Now we are all looking forward to the 2016 season, and Kaaya's Jr year! I think that if he has a great year he will go to the NFL! 

[@jorah8662]

As someone who's not a Miami fan, this is some of the funniest stuff I've seen awhile. Berlin had 12 TDs and 17 int that year, and he often looked like an embarrassment out there. By the end of the WVU game that season, he was throwing bounce passes (despite having all day to throw) and was only bailed out by Winslow's amazing catch that stemmed from WVU being stupid enough to bring the house on the 4th and long that would've ended the game. Then the following year, he became a lot more efficient but still couldn't put together that great of a season for the Canes despite all that talent that was still there. Saying he was almost as good as the guy who only lost 2 games in over 3 years of starting for you guys (and should have only been one without that ridiculous pass interference call against Ohio State) is hilarious.

[@jasonrader4346]

Danny Canes dont ever compare brock to dorsey. Brock was way to inconsistent. Only reason all us canes fans remember brock is because of this one game. Miami could have played for a championship that year if it wasnt for berlins inconsistent ass

[@DarkTemplar1502]

So many all-pro superstars on that collegiate team. I got goosebumps after every touchdown and every all-pro name.

[@Mark-su2mu]

The OB use to ROCK. There's NOTHING like the OB. One memory would be when we played UCLA when they were #2 and we wasn't ranked...OMG that was up there with one of the greatest games I attended. We upset them with a comeback. The OB was rocking...we had that 3 head monster Jackson, Edge, Davenport...oh yes sir. I miss the OB...that was Miami
