The Miami Hurricanes ended one lousy streak against Florida State last year and are ready, they hope, to destroy another.
One of the most passionate rivalries in college football continues at 3:30 p.m. Saturday, when the No. 17 Hurricanes (4-1, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), who finally squashed that seven-year FSU win streak last season in Tallahassee, meet the arch-rival Seminoles (3-1, 1-2) at Hard Rock Stadium — which brings us to that second dreaded streak.
It has been 14 years since the Canes have beaten FSU at home. That’s six consecutive miserable home games for the UM crowd, which, except for a bowl game to end the 2003 season, has never seen the Hurricanes beat FSU at what is now known as Hard Rock.
