Miami and Syracuse have had a one-sided relationship where Miami has dominated the series 11-2 since 1990. There was one true classic played in 1992 where Dennis Erickson’s ‘Canes took on the Orange coached by Paul Pasqualoni and it came down to the 3 yard line to preserve Miami’s undefeated regular season. Syracuse infamously blew Miami out in 1998 on Donovan McNabb’s senior day. The ‘Canes and Orange haven’t played since 2003 which seems crazy since both are in the ACC now and are a natural “rival” of old Big East squads.
