Miami football alum Santana Moss honored by ESPN for memorable line

29 Aug 1999: Santana Moss #6 of the Miami Hurricanes carries the ball during the Kickoff Classic game against the Ohio State Buckeyes at the Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The Hurricanes defeated the Buckeyes 23-12.

Following the 27-24 win for the Miami football team over Florida State in 2000 to break a five-game losing streak to the Seminoles, legendary Hurricanes wide receiver Santana Moss gave the legendary line “big-time players, step up in big games.” That win began a six-game Miami winning streak against Florida State.

Moss finished his Miami football career as the all-time leader with 2,547 receiving yards.
