Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 5198747, member: 289"] For posters with long memories: 1996 U of Miami game: The 'Canes leveled our punt returner just as the ball arrives. After much discussion, the refs announce that the guy was "blocked into our returner" so it was OK. Replays showed minimal contact [I]and in the other direction[/I] as the Cane player just blew right through it. Miami recovered the 'fumble' and scored and built up a big lead, (10-31 I think). We rallied behind McNabb but lost 31-38. We wound up in three way tie for the conference title. with Miami who had beaten us and Va Tech whom we had beaten but who had beaten Miami. Tech got the Orange Bowl Miami got the Carquest Bowl, (formerly the Blockbuster Bowl) and we got the Liberty Bowl. That's what yesterday's 'push' reminded me of. [/QUOTE]
