| The Hurricanes
won the 1996 Carquest Bowl in entertaining fashion with a
31-21 triumph over the University of Virginia. Defensive standout
Tremain Mack provided the fireworks with a pair of Miami touchdowns.
Mack, who was a unanimous choice for game MVP, returned a
UVA fumble 79 yards for a touchdown to give UM a 14-0 first
quarter lead. Mack then gave the ‘Canes an insurmountable
24-7 lead when he picked off Cavalier quarterback Tim Sherman
in the second quarter and raced 42 yards to paydirt. Mack
continued his heroics in the third quarter by blocking a Rafeal
Garcia 29-yard field goal attempt, the first of two blocked
FGs by the ‘Canes. Ryan Clement ignited the Hurricane
offense throwing for a career-best 274 yards and one touchdown
on 16-of-26 passing. |
