Miami Hurricanes Football (2000) - "The Drive For Five"

[@chefdade5467]

What made this and the teams in the next 2 yrs the greatest/most entertaining CFB team(s) EVER, is the fact all the facets of a football team were a real threat to score a TD. Offense, Defense and ST.

Miami's only problem in the early 2000s was primarily sleep walking early in some games at times. 2000 Washington, 2001 Boston College, 2002 Ohio State, 2003 Florida, 2003 Virginia Tech, 2003 Tennessee, 2005 Florida State.

Exactly. Complacency kills. That’s why you need the Saban’s and the Belichick’s to make sure no opponent is overlooked and every week is high intensity

I remember WRIII flashing on the scoreboard just after the missed FG. I was there upper deck endzone. Also, James Jackson (RB) earned every inch against that FSU defense.

[@MrErictyrones]

Hard to believe that it has been 22 years ago now I remember it so well. They woulda easily beat Oklahoma.

[@alexkain8564]

How would they have scored on Oklahoma? OU was incredible in 2000 they held Florida St out of the end zone in a championship game. Miami would have been lucky to score 14 points against the Sooners

I hope coach Cristobal brings back these jerseys

[@hellsbells4700]

Might be a minute before he works out anything with Phil Knight and NIKE based on how he left Oregon. Business will probably get done at some point, but some dust probably needs to settle on that relationship and dynamic.

[@Gonzo-ue5me]

@@hellsbells4700 even if he left on bad terms it’s going to depend on the university‘s contract with NIKE not Phil Knights feelings towards Cristobal. If anything NIKE benefits from him leaving and bringing Miami back to being a contender.

[@wwilliaml619]

I don’t know why, BUT I love this 2000 team more than even the national championship 2001 team. Maybe it was Al Blades, dudes like Reggie Wayne and Santana Moss. Maybe it was because they put the program back on the Match. The FSU-UM 27-24 Wide Right III made me run out into the streets and Party!! I figured out what it is! 2000 Hurricanes were like a transition from the probation years and the Old Canes when they fought UF in New Orleans before the Sugar Bowl.

[@JayErwin-vu7eb]

Should of been in Championship Game that year,burned by the BCS.After FSU lost to Oklahoma 12-2.Bobby Bowden said Miami should of been here.Mad respect for Bowden saying that...

The cans was like a pack of pitbulls they didn't only just beat you but they whooped your ass at the same time. If the canes can get back close to this college football will become very interesting.

So let me get this straight…..you beat number 1, you beat number 2, you beat number 6……………and you not only don’t win the national championship, you don’t even get to play in the game. Something smells with the NCAA.

[@agoo7581]

Maybe don't put Mcneese State on the Schedule next time. Also, everyone is bitching about how Miami beat Florida state, while completely ignoring the fact that Washington beat Miami.....also a 1 loss team. If anything, they should have gone.

[@TheWakeup011]

@@agoo7581 Washington lost later that year to a lesser te if l recall. McNamee state? You not be familiar with FSU schedule back then.

[@billblaski9523]

However, a comparison of the teams that FSU played and defeated versus who Miami played and defeated clearly showed that FSU had the stronger schedule and was the better team at the end of the year. FSU defeated #21 NC State 58-14, #10 Clemson 54-7 and #4 Florida 30-7. Florida was the only common opponent for FSU and Miami. FSU beat the Gators by 23 points and held them to 7 points while Miami beat them by 17 points but gave up 20 points. Miami played McNeese State, Rutgers, Temple, Louisiana Tech and other than that over-ranked #2 Virginia Tech team, none of the other teams Miami defeated on their schedule had more than 7 wins. On the other hand, FSU defeated Georgia Tech (9 wins), Louisville (9 wins), NC State (8 wins), Clemson (9 wins) and Florida (10 wins).

[@dannyb78]

@@billblaski9523well that’s funny you write a book on this but Miami beat you guys for how many years after this win in 2000 ? So to say they were a better team is a joke. Idc who FSwho had played the point was Miami beat them every time. Miami should’ve been in that championship game and they would’ve beat OU hands down. People love to hate on Miami and it’s the simple reason that folks don’t want to see Miami prosper. Those young men got screwed out of a championship opportunity period.

[@AJSchneider-ot1ux]

I love how everyone dismisses the fact that FSU handed the game to MIA with 3 unforced turnovers, 2 missed FG’s, and 2 missed 4th down conversions, and also how Vick only played like 9 snaps in that game with V Tech. Everyone says they got screwed when in reality FSU had the better resume and beat Florida by 23, while Miami beat Florida by 17.
