Now all of the frustration of losing to FSU for five straight years is now gone. Thanks to Saturday's win, the Hurricanes are now considered possible contenders for the national championship and have yet again humiliated the Seminoles like they used to do in the old days. And I just had to laugh when I found out how the 'Canes did it.

With a little under two minutes left to play in Saturday's game, No. 8 Miami was trailing No. 1 FSU, 24-20. UM quarterback Ken Dorsey calmly marched his team from its own 32-yard line down the length of the field ala Gino Torretta. Dorsey capped the drive with a 13-yard TD pass to tight end Jeremy Shockey with 46 seconds left.

FSU quarterback Chris Weinke (who, by the way, is almost thirty and should not be playing college football) responded by taking his team down to the Miami 32, setting up a potentially game-tying field goal attempt.

The unenviable task fell to Seminole placekicker Matt Munyon. From 49 yards out, Munyon had the leg to make it. Despite making good contact, the ball flew end-over-end wide right.

Game over.

Miami had again beaten FSU on a last-second field goal that missed wide right.

It would be mere coincidence if this had happened only once before. But this is the third time in ten meetings that a mediocre FSU kicker let the team own in the big Miami game. I've humbly concluded that FSU is just destined by some higher power to be inferior to Miami in the long run.

In 1991, en route to winning the national championship, Miami escaped with a 17-16 win after backup kicker Gerry Thomas shanked it wide right.
