From the Miami Herald (2013)
UM Quarterback Brock Berlin, who orchestrated the spectacular 38-33 comeback victory against UF in 2003 at the Orange Bowl, recalls that moment as surely as he recalls former Gators guard Shannon Snell — a good friend, mind you — telling reporters before the game that he hoped UF’s defense would make Berlin’s “mouth bleed.”
“I’ve never felt a stadium become so electric since that game,” said Berlin, a former St. Louis Ram and short-lived Miami Dolphin whose Canes were down 33-10 with 3:35 left in the third quarter before he rallied them to the win.
Berlin still considers Canes fans the best in college football and never looked back once he transferred. He threw for 5,099 yards and 34 touchdowns in two seasons at UM, beating Florida twice and Florida State three times.
“You know what’s great about Canes fans?” he said. “Their expectations are high. They want to see you playing your best. My time with them was awesome.
“I am a Cane and that’s all I am.”
