Following a Miami Hurricanes victory in the 2000 Orange Bowl against in-state rival Florida State University, Canes’ great Santana Moss uttered the iconic phrase "big time players step up in big games”. Fast forward 17 years later and Canes’ signal caller, Malik Rosier, made big time plays in the 62nd meeting against those same Seminoles.
This rivalry game was simply a tale of two halves and the first half was a forgettable one for the RS Junior QB and the entire offense. The Canes ran into a hard nose FSU defense, arguably their toughest test this season, which showed why they are ranked one of the top units in the nation.
