Miami Hurricanes Football — "Takin' It To Tempe" [2002 Season Review]

A great breakdown and recap of an epic 2002 football season for the defending national champion Miami Hurricanes—a 12-0 regular season, a 34-game win-streak and second consecutive title game appearance—ending on a bogus call against Ohio State in overtime.

Highlights of the season included a road route of No. 6 Florida in Gainesville, 41-16—shutting down any Gators chatter that they would've given the Canes a fit in the Rose Bowl (had they not lost a late 2001 season rescheduled game against Tennessee)—as well as a thrilling comeback against No. 9 Florida State weeks later; a 27-14 second half deficit made up, as Miami prevailed 28-27 after the Noles' potential game-winning kick sailed left.

Miami also got a rare road win at Tennessee, beat Big East rival West Virginia in Morgantown, took out a talented Pittsburgh team at home, rolled Syracuse in The Dome and survived a back and forth affair with rival Virginia Tech, 56-45—punching The U's ticket to Tempe.
