The Hurricanes were down 28-21, and trying to mount another comeback against Virginia, and keep their perfect season alive. 63,415 roared to life as the Cavaliers faced a new drive from their own 25-yard-line.

Going to the air on first down, quarterback Kurt Benkert dropped back to pass. Though Benkert had intentions of keep UVA in front, Miami safety Jaquan Johnson had other plans. Johnson picked off Benkert, running back 30 yards to the house, setting The Rock on fire.

On a team, and even more so on a defense stacked to the gills with playmakers and superstars, Johnson stands alone as the leader.
