After all that. After Florida State came back in the second half, then Miami came back in the final minutes – after four hours of unscripted football drama – the one play everyone can script in their sleep didn't happen.
And then the extra point was blocked.
Florida State 20, Miami 19.
Remember when Florida State lost those three games with those three wide-right field goals?
Maybe this was a karmic kick of payback. Maybe Bobby Bowden could appreciate this one. Or maybe watching Florida State defensive end DeMarcus Walker block the kick was just a lesson in how to take nothing for granted.
