FSU kicker Gerry Thomas goes wide right and Miami wins 17-16

This edition of Miami Hurricanes Games We Love features the 1991 matchup between the No. 1 Florida State Seminoles and No. 2 Miami Hurricanes at Doak Campbell Stadium. The Miami Hurricanes were off to a scorching hot start on the year. They were 8-0 and were outscoring their opponents 289-58 and winning by an average of 28.9 points per game. Dennis Erickson was in his third season as the head coach of the Hurricanes and had a record of 29-3 in that span. Miami had a lot of reasons to be confident going into this game, but the fact that they had won their last SEVEN meetings against number one ranked teams had to top the list.
