Seminoles Feel the Hurricane
The 2009 season could not have started any better for the Miami Hurricanes. After only recording 4 interceptions all of last year, on the second play from scrimmage Linebacker Colin McCarthy picked off an out route pass from Christian Ponder, and took it to the house for the first Hurricane Touchdown all season.
The Hurricanes would find another scoring opportunity after a Florida State punt, as Jacory Harris ran a perfect speed option and pitched it outside to Graig Cooper for a 21 yard touchdown.( Note: The game counted this as an incomplete pass.)
On the ensuing kickoff the FSu return man fumbles the ball after a jarring hit from Richerd Gordon. Star recruit Ray Ray Armstrong was there to pick up the ball and set up another touchdown, this one a 2 yard touchdown run by Javaris James.
Florida State would manage a touchdown in each of the second and third quarters, but were no match for the Hurricanes, and they ended the at a 26-14 clip.
