After squandering several opportunities, the Miami Hurricanes fell short late in the fourth quarter against the Florida Gators. While holding onto a 13-10 lead, the Hurricanes were about to regain possession late in the third quarter. Unfortunately, wide receiver Jeff Thomas muffed the punt, giving Florida the ball at the 11-yard line.
This was a major game-changing play. Up until that point, the Hurricanes were in control of the game and playing with a lead; the defense was dominating and preventing UF from moving the ball.
