Florida (2013) - One of the hottest games I can remember being at. Noon start time with a rowdy Miami crowd and large contingent of Gator fans; I saw at least two fights while tailgating. Miami offense had a rough day but the defense forced 5 turnovers including a strip sack to close out the game.
Duke (2015) - We had just lost to Clemson and Golden was fired. Team played well against a solid Duke team and the refs did everything they could to hand Duke the game, especially on their last drive. 8 laterals later we pulled out a victory in the one of the wildest plays in CFB history.
WVU (2016) - Richt's first year and first bowl game with Miami. Lots of Miami fans traveled to Orlando and were not disappointed. Team played well against a good WVU team and we held up our first bowl trophy since 2006.
FSU (2017) - This game felt like a repeat of the previous 3+ years of losses; all close games where FSU somehow takes a late lead and we're unable to respond. However, Richt & Rosier produced one of his best drives of the decade culminating in Langham's miracle TD in the final seconds.
ND (2017) - This was our coming out party. College gameday in Coral Gables, prime time game against a long-time rival, world against us... and then the team/fans/stadium lit the CFB world on fire. Loudest Miami game I have ever been to and quite possibly the loudest sports event I have ever been to.
FSU (2018) - We were finally the "big brother" in this rivalry and then FSU came out and punched us in the face. However, for the first time in a long time, we responded with an incredible second half comeback led by our defense. I can't remember any other Miami game where we were down double digits but EVERYONE in the stadium felt like we were going to win.
Any others big moments that I missed?
