Travis ran in a touchdown three plays later and added the two-point conversion to give Florida State the lead.

The game ended bizarrely after Van Dyke was unable to spike the ball in time. The referees called the game over because as they stated three seconds is not enough time for a spike.

Against Virginia in September Miami fell behind 9-0 in the first quarter, trailed 16-7 at halftime before rallying late to put themselves in a position to win. The Hurricanes drove for the game-winning field goal attempt that hit the left upright and Miami lost 30-28 to the Cavaliers. Nearly the same happened in the next game.

Playing at North Carolina after a bye week, Miami fell behind 28-10 in the second quarter. The Hurricanes rallied and were in a position to score the go-ahead TD or a game-tying FG attempt on the final drive. The pass thrown by Van Dyke was tipped at the line of scrimmage and intercepted by the Tar Heels.

Miami got off to good starts in wins against North Carolina State, Pittsburgh and Georgia Tech and made key plays in the fourth quarter to secure victory. The Hurricanes took a 14-3 lead in the second quarter before the Wolfpack rallied to take a 17-14 lead at halftime. The lead changed three times in the second half.
