Heading into Saturday afternoonâs battle between No. 13 Miami (Fla.) and Florida State, the Hurricanes hadnât managed to topple their Sunshine State rivals since 2009. It was tied for the longest win streak by either team during the rivalry, dating back to 1955.
And after a 20-yard touchdown pass from James Blackman to Auden Tate with just 1:04 left to play to put the Seminoles up 20-17, Florida State had a chance to tie the 62-game series at 31 wins apiece with an eighth straight win over the Hurricanes.
Instead, what we got in the end was even more dramatic:
What a way to end a drought!
