Miami Hurricanes Name Top Ten Plays of the Year

The touchdown completed a Miami comeback from 20-0 down in the second quarter and gave the Hurricanes a short lived lead. The Fighting Irish scored 56 seconds later on a Josh Adams 41 yard touchdown run. They closed the game out with a Justin Yoon 23 yard field goal with 30 seconds remaining to win 30-27.

The play seemed like it would give Miami the boost it needed to earn what earlier in the game would have seemed like an improbable victory. It was one of many big plays for the Hurricanes Special teams this season.

That was the second big play of the game by Miami’s punt coverage team. Earlier in the game, Notre Dame’s Troy Pride Jr fumbled a Justin Vogel punt that gave the Hurricanes a first down at the Fighting Irish 38 yard line. Miami scored four plays later to get on the board.

The second Irish miscue on a punt return was by C.J. Sanders on the play Jackson recovered the touchdown.

The game was almost literally being handed to Miami, but they couldnt make the big necessary in the final six minutes to hold the lead. Notre Dame comes to South Florida for the first meeting between Miami and Notre Dame at Hard Rock Stadium November 11, 2017.
