Miami Hurricanes Name Top Ten Plays of the Year

The Miami Hurricanes had a lot of outstanding performances this season. The football program honored the Ten Best Plays of the Season at their annual awards banquet Sunday night.

Some of the plays showed off incredible athletic feats, others were key plays that led to victories and others came unexpectedly. A few of these plays add the the great Miami football history.

Mark Walton was the only player with two plays on the list. The list is really the top 11 plays, with a tie for tenth. The game against Pittsburgh had the most plays in the top ten with three. Two plays against Virginia, Georgia Tech, and Florida State also made the list.

The Miami Freshman played a huge role in their success this season and that shows up on the list. Ahmmon Richards, Shaquille Quarterman and Joe Jackson all show up once. Walton, David Njoku, Kendrick Norton and Michael Jackson are just Sophomores.

Football is often referred to as the ultimate team sport. That showed in the ‘Canes season highlight reel. The Offense has five plays on the list, the defense four and special teams had two.

The relative youth on the list bodes well for the future. Corn Elder and Stacy Coley are the only Seniors that received one of the plays of the year.
