With a continuation of a 7 game losing streak becoming an all time series record (for either team) of 8 straight looming in the final minutes; Malik Rosier and Darrell Langham made the biggest play of their careers at Miami.
Rosier: who finished the game 19 of 44 for 254 yards, 3 TDs and 1 INT; came up clutch in pivotal moments/3rd down conversions for the majority of the game, and especially in the final possession. Braxton Berrios was also paramount, routinely snagging contested catches or routing up DBs to keep drives alive. Darrell Langham, who came into the game as a backup after Ahmonn Richards went down with an injury; made the most out of his handful of snaps by securing the go ahead TD with 6 seconds left on the clock.

This would not be the last time Darrell Langham’s name would be called, as the moment was again not too big for him the following week: for another Cardiac Canes surviving moment in the game against Georgia Tech; capping off his first (and only) career 100 yard game with a massive 4th down conversion on a bobbled catch that he recovered as he fell onto the ground

Shout out to Darrell Langham, who was one of my favorite recruits at the time. I thought he was going to be a Tommy Streeter clone, and while that didn’t turn out to be the case; his impact on the 2017 season is enough to be memorialized into Hurricanes Lore IMO
The 2017 season is one of the most memorable seasons from start to finish in my life as a young/not super young fan. I was 9 years old when the Hurricanes won their last national championship. While I’m certainly not anything near a football guru, I certainly was even further away from that in 2001 lol. I understood “really big players, really fast players, really hard hitting players” and a **** of a lot of guys that I needed to trade for on my Vikings franchises in Madden 03 to Madden 05 (the best era of madden FWIW, Culpepper, paired with Edgerrin James and Santana Moss/Andre Johnson/Randy Moss…who needed draft picks lol) but anyways…
