Bruh look how FAST Miami was during this era 😱 the camera could barely keep up.

6 TDs by McGahee one of the greatest performances in Canes history!!!! GO CANES!!

4:30 I always have to rewind this play several times. Great effort by Jones but just insane team speed and that sweet hit by Taylor near the sideline.

They got cheated in that championship

Damn, Mcgahee was awesome. He was the best running back at Miami I've seen.

I was at this game. I must have been like 11 years old. My second ever Canes game. Willis McGahee was my hero for a few years after this.

That halfback pass back to Dorsey is one of the worst play calls I've ever seen.

How no one from this era from Miami win a Heisman

Willis had 6 TDs with 11 minutes to go in the 3rd. He could have had 10 if they'd let him

its unbelievable mcgahee didnt win the heisman this year what a load of bullshit

How did Willis McGahee or Kenn Dorsey not win the Heisman this year? And #87 TE Winston,turned out to be a quality OL in the NFL

in a way these highlights are sad because we all know ultimately how this season ends...

I was at this game with my brother and friend......So awesome I miss the Orange Bowl

It's interesting when you watch the 2001 season games vs the 2002 games. The defense was definitely not up to the standard of the 01 team, but our offense picked up the slack big time.

I was actually looking for this yesterday. Glad you posted it!

The year our Canes was screwed out of Championship by a bs call!!!!

I remember thinking this game was in doubt. They were within 11 with almost a full quarter to play, and it was a big comeback to get there. I was very nervous, thinking about the previous season when they blocked the punt and got back in it. We always found a way to keep the other team in it in 2002, like that stupid throw-back to Dorsey that would have buried them but instead brought them back to life. It finally caught up with in in the Fiesta Bowl.

I'd agree. Running Qb's in particular made us break contain.....even OSU's QB got his rocks off on the ground. The biggest difference though, was that in 02 we'd knock a pass down. In 01, we picked it off and ran it back.

Listen to how Loud it was when Jimmy is trying to talk to Lynn! We dont have that anymore at Dolphin Stadium.

That first 3 and out was so loud in the Orange Bowl. I was sitting under the second deck, west end zone. Couldn't hear myself think.

Testing, testing, is this thing on... I pray that you are watching this Coach Manny Diaz. We NEED to be 'the team to beat again'. Move us forward... The 🙌

Dorsey should have never gone to San Francisco!

@thefreashking so the marlins can have their own stadium. ...new marlins stadium is built on top of the orange bowl....if i were miami U, i would build an Orange Bowl II

Willis McGahee could've been a Heisman winner in 2002..🤔Virginia Tech exposed UMiami in this game..UMiami won but allowed VT to score 45 points..😆🟧🏈UMiami was good in 2002 but struggled vs. Ohio State in the BCS Championship ⁉🏜

I remember the article in the globe the next day about the Payton play. The author of the article said, "What the Hurricanes were not saying is that they wanted Dorsey to have his own Heisman moment"

You need to post the 1992 Sugar Bowl between Alabama and Miami, I know Miami got their ass kicked in that game but George Teague from Alabama had a stud game and the play he ran the Miami receiver down and caused a fumble is absolutely a top 10 all time effort play, gotta respect that kind of effort.

This game was the beginning of the end for me

WILLIS MCGAHEEEEE!!!!!

What a great team! I was there too! I went to all the games for the last 35 years! VT has been the Miami Nemesis for quite a long time. They used to beat us using that slow boring football, and had great defenses and special teams. But one thing, when they were telling everyone that VT was the king of special teams, it was the Miami Hurricanes that had the numbers! That used to aggravate me to no end, oh well! Now that VT is ending an era while coach Beamer has retired. What will happen? Will they get better? Who knows, they might have to go thru the same kind of stuff like Miami! But telling the truth, means that the Miami Hurricanes has been the great football program for more than 20 years!

Game could have been like 63-28 had the Hurricanes not done the dumb Halfback pass that got picked off and returned for a TD. Anyway, man it seems like forever ago Miami was this explosive. They've been in the ACC for over 15 years now an havent even won the ACC a single year. This program fell apart.

that beard injury hurt us at the end and the end but they rob us with that bad call

LMAO, this is the longest highlight I have EVER seen!

Boy miami just made legendary coaches sick

6:10 of how i love sean taylor

Would have loved to see mia vs sc back then!

its funny watching the (Highlights) when it's pretty much the whole game, every other play Miami did something with the ball. Back then Miami had a offense, defense and a running game. Now they don't have a quarterback, with a good running back but with the defense on the field practically the whole game. It sucks watching the U now. :( I'm a huge U fan and want this team to come back LOL

Before his injury mcgahee was like Adrian Peterson

hey canes freak 2001, post up Saturdays Highlights. Logan Thomas went ape on you. All in All it was the best Va Tech vs Miami game arguably ever! ps: goodjob beating a beaten up injured Mike Vick in 2000 to end our BCS hope that year for 2001's bowl season, Thats not a win to feel good about, rocking a limping vick all game. :P

I'm STILL TRYNA FIGURE OUT, HOW THE HELL DID VT CREAM US IN '03???

what the fuck does "he may be the dangerous" mean?

@carloctave lmao i know

@thefreashking yeah i do too but you cant deny that the orange bowl was a ratty piece of shit. it just had class
