Today, I’m quickly taking you back to one of the greatest days in Miami Hurricanes history — the 2002 Rose Bowl against Nebraska and Heisman winning quarterback Eric Crouch.
The Canes got off to a hot start and led 14-0 after a 49-yard touchdown catch by Andre Johnson and a 39-yard touchdown run by Clinton Portis.
But the play were highlighting today may have been the biggest gut-punch for Nebraska. The momentum already belonged to Miami, but the Huskers had the ball down 14 with a chance to bring the game within a score.
Instead, on 3rd and 7 with thirteen minutes left in the first half Eric Crouch dropped back to pass and threw a dart that went right through the hands of his receiver directly into James Lewis’ and he took it back 42 yards for a touchdown.
