Best 4th Quarters: Wide Right III (2000 Miami vs. Florida State)

A stacked Miami team consisting of Andre Johnson, Ed Reed, Santana Moss, Jeremy Shockey, Jonathan Vilma, and Ken Dorsey defended their turf against Heisman Trophy winner Chris Weinke and the Florida State Seminoles.


Miami took a 27–24 lead after a Ken Dorsey touchdown pass to Jeremy Shockey, but Seminole quarterback and 2000 Heisman Trophy winner Chris Weinke moved the Seminoles into field goal range during a last minute drive in Miami's Orange Bowl stadium. Florida State kicker Matt Munyon missed a field goal attempt again to the right to seal the Hurricanes' victory. Controversy erupted later in the season when the Seminoles were ranked higher by the BCS and picked to play in the Orange Bowl against Oklahoma for the national championship despite Miami being ranked higher in both the AP Poll and Coaches Poll. The Seminoles lost to the Sooners 13–2, while the Hurricanes defeated Florida 37–20 in the Sugar Bowl. Miami would finish #2 in the polls that year.
