The Miami Hurricanes 24-20 dramatic victory over Florida State on Saturday was a huge step forward for the program. Even though they defeated the 1-3 Seminoles, the victory is one that can be program defining as Head Coach Mark Richt and his staff seek to restore Miami to being one of the nation’s elite teams.
The Miami Hurricanes have struggled in recent years in the week after playing Florida State. Miami entered last season’s game against the Seminoles 4-0. The devastating 20-19 loss began a four-game losing streak.
Although Miami won the week following Florida State in 2015, they suffered the worst loss in school history two weeks later.
