For a team that used to dominate at the Orange Bowl, the Miami Hurricanes looked as though playing on the grounds of the former storied stadium meant nothing to them.
Miami (6-5, 4-3) was shocked by cross-town rival FIU (6-5, 3-4) at Marlins Park Saturday night.
“Obviously a very, very dark night,” said Miami head coach Manny Diaz. “One of the lowest points ever in this proud program’s history.”
Diaz took responsibility for his team’s 30-24 loss, the first in history to FIU since the two began playing each other in 2006.
“Whether it was turning the ball over, third down, red zone, penalties, as poor a performance as we’ve had all year,” Diaz said.
