It never seems to be easy for the Miami Hurricanes when they take on the Florida State Seminoles. That trend is especially true when the schools play in South Florida. Miami has rarely managed to shake free from its rival and win by a convincing margin.
Of course, that’s because of a number of factors. During the 1980s, 90s, and early 2000s, both programs were good largely at the same time. The matchups were classics between two teams that were very even. Legendary finishes ensued.
Then, Miami went into the toilet, and the wins over the Seminoles became few and far between.
