| The 23rd-ranked
'Canes were looking for some redemption after blowing four
big games during the season versus Penn State, Florida State,
East Carolina and then in a blow out shocker to Virginia Tech
43-10. The Hurricanes routed No. 15 Georgia Tech, 28-13, behind
an dominating defensive performance that held the Yellow Jacket
offense, ranked No. 1 nationally and second in scoring with
an average of 40.7 points a game, to a season low 13 points.
The Hurricanes struck on their opening possession with an
eight-yard James Jackson touchdown run. Miami then took a
14-point lead early in the second quarter when sophomore quarterback
Kenny Kelly capped a 73-yard drive with a 15-yard touchdown
strike to Andre King. Following a Tech score, freshman All-America
tailback Clinton Portis set a UM bowl record with a 73-yard
touchdown run to give the ‘Canes a, 21-7, halftime lead.
Georgia Tech could only muster a pair of second half field
goals as the UM defense, behind the play of Gator Bowl MVP
Nate Webster, shut down the Tech attack. The win extended
the Hurricanes bowl record to 3-0 under Butch Davis. |
