The program defining 30-24 victory for Florida International and former Miami head coach Butch Davis over the Hurricanes was marred by a bizarre strategy of flopping and fawning what will likely be excused as dehydration at least five times during plays in the RedZone on offense by the Miami football team.
For the fourth time, this season Miami seemed uninspired during a loss as a double-digit favorite. The Hurricanes nearly lost a fifth time in a 17-12 victory as a prohibitive favorite over Central Michigan in December. The stats for the Hurricanes were not nearly as good as the final numbers indicated.
