2nd Best Interception

[TemplarCane]

Second best interception. We all know the Matt Walters-Ed Reed pick 6 to clinch the 2001 BC game is number 1. But how about the next one…or few? Doesn’t have to be a pick 6, obviously. Big game, big moment.

Where's the Carlos Jones pick on Danny Kaneltoe?

Added! Thanks for the reminder! How the heck could I forget that one!

Sean taylor for me

I’d mention 2002 Sean Taylor vs OSU/Fiesta. His 2nd pick, this time in Miami’s endzone. Close to taking it back all the way. Clarett stripped the ball unfortunately. Huge play regardless. Canes were down 14-7.

Freak athleticism.

Sean Taylor INT against FSU in the rain for a TD is #1 easy, one of the best int and return all time.

Clark’s INT against ND in 1989 was HUGE. ND ranked #1 and undefeated. F-ND for 1988, last game of the season, at home, all that. Miami opened with a TD and led but ND came back, had momentum, and the pick came with the game tied at 10. Clark with the pick, nearly scores, and Cleveland Gary (?) scores for 17-10 halftime lead. We know the rest. Miami dominates from there on, the 3rd-43 play, and goes on to win 3rd NC, second in three seasons.

Sikes’ pick 6 was sweet. Canes ranked #1, defending NC. First regular season game with against UF since 1987, 90K at Canesville. Miami outplaying the Gaytor but just can’t seem to put the game away. UF down 27-16 but driving. Sikes makes a great read, Grossman doesn’t see him, and history. 34-16 and all but over entering the 4th quarter. Early season game though, and maybe the opponent makes the play bigger?

Mo Sikes At UF 2002 for 97 yards as they were driving to cut the lead to 7-8 late in the 3rd

And don’t forget CJ Richardson’s 60+ yard run back earlier. Huge momentum changer.

But…

No love for Bandy though?

I loved that int. I was looking for it as well.

Good one.

Darren Krein TD at Penn State 1992 is underrated. Canes had beaten Arizona 8-7, lost Rusty, and then won Wide Right 2. Penn State was highly ranked and their house was packed. Toretta had a awful day but a solid running game and defense won a brutal 17-14 game. Rough three game stretch.

Armstead gets half the credit.

 

[RVACane]

Good one.

That game was the closest I’ve seen us to the old Canes - in as long as I can remember

Some of these were just pure fun, like the Bandy pick. Just piling on in what was already a blowout.

But that Dan Morgan pick right before halftime was critical. That was such a huge play in a huge game where one play makes all the difference.

Thank you.

Why do you think his NFL career has been rather disappointing? Still playing, Seahawks for 2022, but third team in seven seasons.
