What is the toughest catch made in Miami history?

Soldier

Number 7 Miami Vs Number 1 Notre Dame in November of 1989, Craig Ericsson to Randall Thrill Hill 3rd and 43 from the Miami End zone with the orange bowl packed over capacity (85,000 at least, we couldn't seat the entire game since people were two to a seat in the west end zone) at night! Won the game and the Ship that year!

Didn’t Coleman Bell have a crazy grab on the sideline against FSU? WR1 or 2?

Go Canes!

ND was done after this play, could've been a TD if Erickson had thrown it a yard further. Hill had to wait for it.

Najeh Davenport against the gator in the Sugar Bowl. Najeh was horrible in practice making catches yet made a circus catch, incredible.

For me I always think of a catch from Coleman Bell at FSU in 1991 where he went up and over a defender.

Sorry dude. Didn’t see this. I was thinking about same play.

Go Canes!

Honorable mention credit to Stacy Coley against FSU in 2015. He had incredible body control on the end zone fade

Although I think he underachieved as a Cane. Coley stepped up versus FSU.Will always have huge respect for him for that.

Go Canes!

Mike Irvin 87 catch vs fspoo poo

Horace Copeland, 91 game vs FSU. Final minutes and he makes the catch on 4th and 8

Given the context I would go with the Langham winner over FSU.

That's the one I was thinking. Not incredible degree of difficulty. But extremely clutch.

Kosar to Eddie Brown!!!!!

Winslow had some insane catches in the fiesta bowl

I remember Lamar Thomas made a heck of a catch on the sideline (against Nebraska, I think).

Sean Taylor’s midfield INT against Taint in 2002 was amazing too.

I always thought ST’s second interception in the endzone was a fantastic play. Was too bad Clarett stripped him on the tackle after a 40 yard return. ST might have taken it to the house if not for MC.

Matt Walters pick on the bounce off Rumph’s knee against BC.

Lamar Thomas had a real dope catch vs neb in 91.

That wasn't a tough catch....Amazing play (I was there) but nowhere near as tough as Winslows....especially on 4th down...enabling us to win seconds later...

True. Tough catch and important catch are not the same.

 

[Dude]

This was a great one.

That was my first & last game at the OB.

Exactly!
