1987 Miami Hurricanes v South Carolina Gamecocks

[Music] [Music] the Orange Bowl in Miami Florida perhaps the most famous stadium in American football certainly it's rich in history and tradition and tonight it's the venue for the last game of the regular season the number eight South Carolina game Cops against the number two Miami hurricans Jimmy Johnson the head coach of Miami is looking for his second successive unbeaten season while Joe Morrison head coach of South Carolina is looking to finish in the National top 10 for the first time in the Gamecock history with more information on both teams here's Jim Kelly South Carolina's Joe Morrison knows his team has taken the shots of the nation's best his game talk stood tall in tough losses to Georgia and Nebraska they stood proud in a big win over eighth rank Clemson tonight the ultimate Challenge second ranked Miami [Music] it's been 3 years and 31 games since Jimmy Johnson and his Miami Hurricanes have lost a regular season battle but New Year's Day blahs have kept them from reaching their ultimate goal in 87 the canes are 10 and0 and are again stalking the national championship [Music] We join play on the first drive of the game South Carolina have the ball at their own 46 yd line it's a big play fourth down and one yd required for the game cops that will be a first down over the right side blocking by Myers and Calvin Stevens Ellis picks up the first down and Myra on the stop he bench Braes 450 lbs the senior out of Miami well I think it shows you the difference between these two teams Carolina got a B bit assured and they're not they're not worried about being number one they're worried about winning this game it's important to them take a look at the line Sur just to the right of the center see if they get up under the defense and create a hole for Ellis and they do you can see it right there an excellent shot he had room he's 6' three made the first down got to like the call if you're a Gamecock [Applause] fan motion by sh Ellis first pass dumps it off big yardage down that left sideline up into territory of Miami goes Harold green a 13 yd pickup tobert Bane on the stop green and that's one of the things that the coaches of Miami noticed that Ellis last year might have forced the ball this year he's laying it off dumping it off safety bout well watch the body control and he never did turn his shoulders he took a pump Jimmy and then he threw the thing right across his body I haven't seen a guy do that since Joe name it he was looking one way and threw it the other way and what that shows he knew the receiver was out there really didn't have his eyes on him but he knew there was a safety valve and he made the play maturity B Ellis still just a soft and you saw Todd kind of stretching his shoulder Frank Sadler told me before the game he's been bothered by a bad shoulder for about three weeks green big hole right side again turning down to the 27 yd line and Fullington on his second stop of the night close to first down yard it should be a first down the thing that they're concerned about the Miami defensive people is that the Miami defense likes to run out of there their pass rushers and they're not real big on the inside you see you see right there number 94 Greg Mark getting too high and pushed out and then a little delay in the quick hand off and bang they're up in the middle now these guys CL Mark especially as a sophomore he has a tendency to get high that could be a problem the fullback Harold green three carries 19 yds four carries for about 22 yds hammered backwards by stubs stubs 64 250 63 tackles 8 and a half sacks coming in just stood green up and drove him backwards spotted at the hash mark near side just outside the 25 yd line Gamecock taking the initial possession moving right down on the canes Smith and sharp wide to the left white and they come ride to the right white in motion Ellis fires incomplete at the 12 yd line looking for Ryan be on a [Applause] post blades was back on the coverage of the senior out of Fort Lauderdale the ball a little bit high but they couldn't hang on might have heard some footsteps that ball was there Jim that ball was there but they should have had it thing to remember too about the run and shoot it is the run and shoot they would rather run first and then shoot this is not necessarily just a passing team for South Carolina third and seven white goes in motion top of the screen draw play down to the 23 goes Harold green Derwin Jones the senior out of Miami 64 275 with 53 tackles and four sacks on the stop 11 minutes left to go in the first quarter so the Gamecocks have run off four minutes Rodney price will put it down near the hash mark near side this will be a 40-yd try for the true freshman Colin Mackey 20 of 27 on the field goal tries and he is four of seven between 40 and 49 yds on its way plenty of distance it is good a 40-yd field goal by Colin Mackey 1040 left to go in the first quarter and South Carolina strikes first against second rank [Applause] Miami South Carolina taking the opening possession they used up four minutes and 20 seconds a 40 yd field goal and Eric marle will kick off the Freshman out of Russellville Arkansas Randall Hill number three is back deep along with Alex Johnson number 21 kick is high at is end over BR is deep about two yds In The End Zone Randall Hill will run it out Randall Hill a 36 yd kickoff return gives Miami Hurricanes a good offensive start let's meet them Steve walls completes 59% of his passes he doesn't have the gun to test the ver he had but he's very smart and makes few mistakes Melvin Bratton the number one pick in the draft Warren Williams very underrated for the Hurricanes the receivers are excellent two outside guys blades and Irving are speed burners big play guys patching a run blocker O'Neal the best pass blocker and then Big Daddy sugar daddy rod holder at Center injured early but playing very well now Gamecock show The Blitz they're coming and down goes wal the strong safety Greg Philpot number 25 second sack on the year loose football and did South Carolina get it that'll be a little conclave of the officials but South Carolina says they've got it Roy Hart recovered that fumble on the sack by philp Jimmy I don't know that this was not off sides I think there was a mess up on the snap not everybody got up there were looked to me like there were some people in the neutral zone car uh Miami never had a chance Walsh never from the back and you can see Mar right in there in the middle of a bunch of Miami players making a recovery that is Carolina's game pressure and you don't even need defensive backs if you get there that quick big break for the game TOS early play action F Ellis out of the pocket kanes didn't buy it and a sacked by Greg Mark the sophomore out of Pensa New Jersey 64 232 his eighth sack this [Applause] year that puts Mark just a half a sack behind Daniel stubs that's how good he is that's why he's in there as a pass rusher he's not in there for the running game Miami can be run at up the middle boy if the play action pass doesn't fool them they're going to be all over you as they were on that play 9 and a half to go the hurricanes have had the ball for one snap and they fumbled it before the Notre Dame game Miami had only turned the ball over nine times second and 19 Ellis fires it on a rope incomplete and if that wasn't pass interference at the 15 yd line sharp was pushed by Daryl Fullington the ball was in the air no call incredible I saw it too no question about it it certainly looked like pass interference to me watch right here that's number two sharp and that's 19 Fullington Shannon 22 Shannon and that is definitely pass interference no call 919 left to go clock stopped on the incompleted pass Ellis one out of three for 14 yards he'll need 19 here that's no argument there by sharp either which is kind of straight sharp goes in motion Ellis dumps it off to Green nice [Music] move down close to the 32 yd line where Randy Shannon the junior out of Miami makes the [Applause] stop well we'll see another field goal try with nine minutes and Counting left in a scoreless first quarter for Miami they are second ranked they are number three in scoring defense South Carolina has never scored more than 14 points in a game on Miami oh these points are big early I'm sure that's in the back of somebody's mind the fact that they can score is going to be important to them a 48y field goal try good two and a row one from 40 the other from 48 the Gamecock lead after the turnover 6 nothing Eric marle out of Russellville Arkansas 59 170 sends it high end over end this one is short and at the eight it's Randall Hill good move if he gets outside he's got the wall out of bounds chased out by Robert Robinson number 36 a resered cornerback a return of 23 yds by Randall Hill the first one went for 34 well that's no accident this guy averages almost 28 yards on a run back they say he's exciting and this is pretty exciting but Carolina does a great job of keeping leverage on the backside there's nothing here for him couple of yards but see there's people waiting outside to push him out of bounds good job by Carolina on the back side you see the Gamecock showing a blitz once again now Steve Walsh has not faced a blitz attack all season long like he's seeing tonight was a concern of Jimmy Johnson all week quick drop quick release safety BS it out to Warren Williams Williams dances across the 35 chased out by Roy Hart the nose guard let's meet those game packs defensively this is the second ranked defensive unit in the country Roy har a key performer tonight against the Run he's the guy that recovered the fumble now these linebackers or defensive ends on the outside will move around and they'll come hard from the outside same on the inside Hinton and mckernan they're not great linebackers but they jump around all night the Corners are the key Floyd and Robinson they play manto man and they've got to do the job Philpot and Edwards excellent safeties Edwards the free safeties got eight interceptions Walsh on second and three flares it out incomplete at the 40 looking for Warren Williams out of the back field Matt mccan outside linebacker Junior out of Daytona Beach right with him and I think that's important that they had they got a linebacker isolated on Williams the ball was not complete but we'll see that again now what Carolina does defensively when they come like that whatever Miami does offensively they have to do it quick and they have to do it with Precision you can see by those numbers that that's been their game all year but I don't think they faced a defense that gambles and it's just as outrageously a gambling defense of South Carolina's [Applause] in walls with an audible looks of eight coming at him needs three first down to Mike Irvin back there in the coverage Brad Edwards Edwards number 27 with eight interceptions Edwards also playing with intestinal flu tonight a little woozy after last night's workout Irvin could make him woozy boy what nerve they have to put a free safety manto man on the slot they did it right here with is three yards to go if he misses that tackle Irvin is G now they're going to run little pick plays all night and if they have the time to complete those things you could see a pass and a long run off a pass that was Miami's first first down with 750 left in the first quarter out of the grasp of one of the South Carolina game talk up near the 47 goes Melvin Bron out of Miami and Roy Hart number 54 out of tiffon Georgia on the stop 6' 272 lbs he slips the first block gets a shot in the throat but he does what a defensive player has to do he keeps his feet Works down the line and he's able to get into position another thing about Carolina's defense the way they stunt jump around big plays alleys will open up and you can pull a big one off on them second and eight wal has a flood to the right and on the check with me offense Jimmy Johnson gives his quarterback flexibility Blitz is on penalty flag down Walsh to Midfield inside South Carolina territory wrestled Out of Bounds at the 45 of the Gamecock Brad Edwards on the stop but there's a flag to be checked out [Applause] [Music] Terry Monk Is Our referee offsides South Carolina talking about Steve Walsh coaches said that one of the things they'd like to see him work on Kevin a little bit more strength now very few will have the arm of a Vinnie test ofie but they like to see him put on just a couple of pounds increase that arm strength a little bit well he he doesn't have the ability they're more of a controlled passing team now with Vinnie they could just go 35 yards on a line down the field they can't do that now hurricane took the play declined the penalty stuffed with the line of scrimmage last year's Defensive Player of the Year number 54 Roy Hart on the stop of Melvin Bron hold with a center number 64 for Miami outweighed by about 20 lbs by heart doesn't use his strength uses his quickness to slip the block and cut over into the hole and get Bratton now you can get away with that sometimes but middle guards tend have a tendency to pick aide the back will do the same thing he'll hesitate for a moment way you pick aide he'll go the other way got to be careful he can't do that on every play blades comes to the near side urvan top of the screen on second and 11 Walsh looks at a blitz and here it comes batted up incomplete at Midfield might have been picked off Wilson the s from middle sex New Jersey number 92 is 62 263 and he deflected the ball had Roy Roy Hart seen it he could have picked it off speaking with Joe Lee Dunn the defensive coordinator for South Carolina yesterday he told us he studied the Tennessee films Tennessee and Miami of a few years ago and how Tennessee blitzed Miami and Miami and created a lot of problems for their offense and it appears that the Gamecocks are going to do just that cre confusion third and 11 again the audible by Steve Wall eight men up front blitzes on again walon loads hot and this could be six Irvin will score okay the trip formation is what did it Michael Irving his 26th career touchdown and that's his 33rd straight catch in a game of a pass at least one pass great performance great Cox will try to make it 76 hurricanes he do out of the hold of Jeff fos just the post drip formation but what they did they brought all the defensive backs to that side of the field and wall standing in there against the blitz hit him perfectly and this is the pass and run I was talking about there's no way you catch these two guys either Irvin or Blaze once they catch the ball and Floyd 29 who was back there in the coverage looked to trip just before the catch was made touchdown number six of the year for [Music] [Music] my true love sent to me [Music] by Golden R for calling bird Three French two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear [Music] [Music] tree Tower record brings you pet jop boys with their best album yet [Music] introspective head shot boys introspective out now from Tower Records padelli circus and Kensington High Street [Music] Old Spice the classic masculine fragrance the mark of a map welcome back at the end of the first quarter the number two Miami hurricans lead the number eight South Carolina game CS by one point we rejoin play just after the start of the second quarter South Carolina have the ball at their own 43 yd line Second and eight sharp wide to the left Danny Smith is outside he has yet to have the ball thrown to him quick out Sharp's got it looks for a block Dives up to the 49 third and two coming up Randy Shannon the junior out of Miami the strong side linebacker on the stop [Music] Todd Ellis starting the heat up there is Sterling sharp and what he has done so far South Carolina's alltime leader as far as receiving is concerned think he's a number one pick absolutely Gil Brandt says he's one of the top 11 players in the country college football players not just receivers driven backwards by Jimmy Jones is Harold green forward progress here Jim is going to be very close to a first down he made the hit right at the first down marker looks like he's going to be maybe the length of the football shy it'll bring up a fourth and again the length of the football now early in the first quarter Joe Morrison head coach of South Carolina gambled and went for it Todd Ellis says fourth and about a foot coach he could request a measurement I would request that's the measurement here Gamecock will go for it again well they were successful on a quarterback sneak to the right now you can look for Miami to fill that hole [Applause] immediately Woody Myers the senior center out of King stre South Carolina sets them down they only their foot pitch back green first down and more at the 45 of Miami Myra the middle linebacker theor number 45 on the stop they looked a little out of syn just before the snap it was a quick Snap On First sound you're right and they did catch Miami just a little bit late in fact looked like they caught themselves late but green doing a nice job jumping over the pile and making the first down does things instinctively that you don't teach that's what the coaching people say about him his own coaches he just has those moves that you can't tell a guy do this through that he does him on his own big play style slashing Runner coaches call him a thorough bread big first down Sharp motions top of the screen Ellis gives it to Green slasher picks up Eight Second down and two colington the strong safety made the stop on Harold green out of Stratford High School in Ladson South Carolina where he gained over 4,411 yards in high school there's what he's done with his Gamecock career green 11 rushes 47 yds about the offensive line of South Carolina they've been doing a pretty good job on the defensive front I'll talk about them in a minute it their philosophy offensively the same as defense sharp didn't know where to line up green Dives close to first down yardage another penalty flag goes down Daniel stubs on his seventh solo tackle motion against the game comes interesting story on stubs Number 96 they call him stubby K he is six4 250 lbs but for a while they weren't sure what size he would be he was allergic to a whole lot of things had some respiratory problems because of the ailments in fact his family had to move from Red Bank New Jersey to do Delaware and the doctor there finally offered a series of shots to sooe some of the respiratory problems and stubby K as he's called grew up to be a healthy happy young lad at 64 250 lb 48 speed how about that is that a complete package credit his dad too his dad moved the family to do for his health but stayed in Red Bank cuz that's where his job was and P the commute on weekends and that's some dedication to your family second and seven after the penalty Kevin White motions near side now says what's the play to Sterling sharp sharp calls the play out to Danny Smith like a bucket rate over the middle a diving sliding catch with it caught Ryan and Buffet hurricanes are saying incomplete what are the officials say incomplete little taunting going down on the field that was Daryl Fullington now this thing's a short hop but they took a shot early in the game and I think you'll see it again Burlington it's Fullington trying to get in there now Miami does have a little bit of a reputation talks a lot on the field they make a lot of movements lot of gestures Irvin was doing it earlier this is a 76 game and I don't know if I'd want to aggravate South Carolina in a close game get him up make him play harder Gamecocks are one for five on third down conversions two for two on fourth down loose [Music] football and they're saying no incomplete and there's another penalty flag at the 35 yd line stubs made the hit too much time against South Carolina that's why that was a fumble Jim I think what they're saying was that the play was dead before the ball was snapped because that really looked like a fumble to me watch St 96 he's coming around the corner there trying to hold him not getting it done that actually was a good penalty for South Carolina if it wasn't delay of the game it been a turnover boy you see Todd Ellis gets sacked kind of reminds you of last year against the hurricane first time he saw a couple of those canes jome Brown said watch out Todd we're coming at you Todd looked in their eyes and said what am I doing out in the field with these guys needs 12 post is open Sterling Shar breaks it outside first down headed to the end zone Sterling sharp will score 47 yds the fifth receiving touchdown for Shar Cod Ellis his 10th touchdown toss on the year the gamec go back in [Applause] front that run and shoot offense of Frank Sadler Colin Mackey will try to increase the game lead out of the hold of Rodney price perfect and South Carolina they LED six nothing they go back in front 13-7 955 to go sharp number two valy number 23 not even close some great blocks downfield and Crossing patterns to Great receivers this is what happens he out runs barely there's a block to the left another block there on Fullington and that's why sharp is an allamerican and that's why South Carolina is so dangerous and that's why you know don't want to get these guys mad Sterling sharp number one draft pick and Todd Ellis his 10th touchdown toss of the Year Gamecocks are back in front over second rank Miami 955 to go before halftime South Carolina ranked number nine in the country going to the Gator Bowl for a date against Mike Archer of the LSU Tigers leading the Hurricanes 13 to S Marco drives this one high and deep end over to Randall Hill another big return this one carted though at the 21 yd line Patrick Hinton The Freshman on the stop let's look at that last touchdown watching from a wide angle top of your screen inside slot number two sharp covered by belly it's going to be man-to-man coverage by biley and watch you take a guy with great speed you run him on a Crossing B he'll out run the coverage see Bailey he's beaten right now they get the ball to now watch the blocks on the corner by the wide receiver Ellis this goes down number 29 that's white who makes a block at the 5 yd line and sharp not going out of bounds using that great speed cut ability to go up into the end zone made offense by [Applause] Carolina just a simple dump off it goes to Mike irvan and look out it's a track meet now upended at the 37 yd line by the man they call Chief Kevin HRI he is part Indian and he chased down the speed ball Mike irvan here's what Jolie dun was afraid of again we talked about it a short pass and a run inside everybody out and runs it and the guy that runs him down Hendrick is 250 lbs what an effort by Kevin Hendrick or El Zin gone once again Irvin now five catches 109 yards and we've still got nine and a half left in the first half he's conducting a clinic wal urvan again he is so poised and so relaxed after he catches the ball Floyd back there on the coverage a Junior College transfer last year out of Greenville South Carolina well Jimmy ought to be poised there's nobody within 10 yards of him and that's another thing about Joe Lee Dunn's philosophy he wants his Corners about 8 yds off the wide receivers even though they're playing manto man this is the result Michael irvan six receptions 115 yards and a touchdown and another close one the reason he does that Joe Lee because he wants the corners to be able to look into the back field and see if it's a running play and be able to react giving these guys too much [Applause] room wal all kinds of time The Middle's open complete at the 2yd line for Brett Perman Walsh knows he miss [Applause] six thing about a quarterback you tell when a quarterback has Poise is when he sits in the pocket and His Feet Don't stutter and he's able to look over the whole field you saw it all from Walsh on that play he was trying to go to the far sideline Carolina was there he surveyed the field kept his feet steady had a solid pace and then just lofted that ball a little long down the incompletion show be a lot from Steve wal there's what Steve has done so far Urban six catches 115 yd wal looks fires over the middle it's dropped dropped he did not have control at the 26 Alfredo Roberts the senior tight end out of Fort Lauderdale well you know the official who made the call broke up the play Alfredo tripped over the over the official and that's why the ball was incomplete it was the same official that made the call watch Roberts number 87 right over the middle this ball is there now look at the official he gets in the way and then as Roberts goes down he catches it puts the ball on the ground as he's falling and it's incomplete it's a good call by the official but hey stay out of the way Greg Cox will try a 47 yd field goal he's seven of 10 between 40 and 47 yds Hask near side Jeff beagles the putter it's a fake fagles the putter one man to beat first and G hurricane and a penalty flag is down Edwards might be guilty of the face mat two games in a row Jimmy Johnson has gone to a fake punt they did it last week or a fake play last week against Notre Dame was a fake punt now they go with a fake field goal and beagles picks up 23 yds and it'll be half the distance inside the five after the face Mas give him credit for trying it Eagles never thinking about anything else the thing opens up perfectly Eagles Must Be Wondering what he's doing out there all alone before he's dragged down and there's the face mask by Brad Edwards boy that'll take the heart out of your defense Jimmy Johnson give him credit that's try just about anything h no there is our score 9 minutes and 8 seconds left to go before halftime and before that 23 yd pickup by fagel Miami had just one yard on the ground one rushing yard Jimmy I love to play for a guy who'll try things like that it's fun William dances could not get outside because Scott Windsor number 80 sophomore out of sville Georgia stayed right there number 20 South Carolina defensive players within five yards of the ball when he went down look at them all coming back great team speed's going to attack Caroline on the goal line I go right up the middle if I was going to play it on the ground and here you got to watch out for the tight end and a quick back out of the back field I'd watch out for Mike Irving anywhere he's had things his own way 115 yards still8 and 1 half to go there goes Melvin Bratton Bratton what a collision touchdown he just put the helmet down and the last two yards was all Melvin Brock he ran right over Robinson and [Applause] Edward 32 touchdown for Melvin Bratton the most ever by a Miami [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Hurricane beagles who picked up 23 yards in the big first down puts it down for Greg Cox as we seesaw back and fourth and watch Bratton who had two last week against Notre Dame coming at you 61 223 lb a big train and he can score he spells the goal line once he gets him square right there look at the power and just inside right there to make it call Jimmy Johnson watching Bratton run over Brad Edwards and Robert Robinson he gets the touchdown [Music] [Music] sent [Music] me by Golden R for calling bir Three French two turtle doves and a p in AAR tree call yourself watering shot resistant you ain't got no GS you ain't got no Jewels you're rabish mate just

the greatest hits of house two hours of music and over 270 hour price record shots welcome back no further score in the first half although Miami did get the ball to the South Carolina 17 yd line in the closing minute only to see this Steve Walsh pass intercepted by linebacker Patrick [Applause] Hinton so as we rejoin early in the second half Miami Lead 14-13 South Carolina have the ball but have been forced to start the drive from their own goal line following a Miami punt over the right side behind Woody Myers and Calvin Stevens and Mark frier Jimmy Johnson against the Irish had a fake Punt and against the game Cox tonight that fake field goal Fel took it 23 yards for a big first down led to bratton's touchdown dive and a game c with a onepoint deficit Trail at 14-13 Jimmy Johnson has won 31 straight game last time they lost 1985 for Florida it was Jenny Test's debut out of the end zone incomplete at the 28 yard line Ryan be on the [Applause] Fly and he was open Ellis [Music] Miss we talked about Todd Ellis being perhaps the most popular athlete in the state of South Carolina they alternate boy girl boy girl at the dorms in South Carolina so Todd when he was a freshman was on the elevator a girl got on recognized him and will pick up the story after this play Third and nine I would hit the end of that dive play to the fullback and the Gamecock will punt great penetration we'll come back and tell you what happened with the girl recognized Todd Ellis where we've got 1022 left to go the Gamecock will punt it away Jones and Myra on the stop along with Greg Mark and the hurricane should come out of this with great field position all set up by a 54 yd punt by fagel if you're Rodney price you know the canes are a coming 10 of them no flag he got it away fice on his backside picked up at the 48 by Perman outside heavy Flags Down and Out of Bounds at the 33 and that's a clip and a bad clip on Miami it's going to cost him 15 yards a 42 yd kick a 16 yd return Mr Monk our referee how about in The End Zone on price was he going for the Academy Award or was he roughed up a little bit well if he was going for it he didn't get it Joe Morrison in his fifth year is the head coach of the Gamecock graduated from Cincinnati in 1959 All Pro with the New York Giants for 14 season played eight different positions Steve Walsh has just one position and he's enjoying his best field position of the night he starts from his own 44 he'll go up top over the middle on the post this should be six for Brian blade Steve wal has thrown two touchdown passes tonight numbers 18 and 19 on the season for Brian blades his fifth touchdown reception as long as coming in as long as reception on the year was 29 yd that for 56 and six more points bre Cox will try to make it a 2113 game this one is partially blocked that could come back and be a big Miss extra point that's a big one now this almost isn't fair and if I can tell that Floyd is this tired from up here now this is no contest it's just a quick post protection is there it's man coverage Floyd's off by himself this is practice and look at Floyd I mean Floyd just doesn't have it his legs are gone they were gone early in the second in the first half and he just can't chase him anymore and how about Steve walls he's thrown two touchdowns tonight out of St PA Minnesota hurricanes by su and that remained the score at the end of the third quarter South Carolina trailing by one touchdown as we rejoin play at the start of the fourth quarter the Gamecocks are in a position to level the scores they have the ball at the Miami 8yd line out of the eye Pro Set green and Bing it's Bing chopped down for a loss of two as they run left and Benny Blaze the senior out of Fort Lauderdale sniffed it out that is Ernest Parish number 97 out of Miami of Florida who was in replacing the injured Bill Hawkins so the hurricanes are hurting at the right defensive end clock is stopped 1448 there is the Freshman he was red shirted last year out of Columbia South Carolina I haris he is taken off number 88 and he's back to number 60 no no 60 on his sleeve you can see he's got one of those pullover jerseys us defensive guys not that smart that could drive you crazy we had the Heisman today Kim Brown at Marino got quite a few votes came in second B coming out wide to the right Ryan be single coverage third and eight motion by Harden Brown Rod Carter didn't buy it Harold green stacked up we'll see the field goal try lots of time left 1418 and Counting and the reason it's so difficult for Carolina they do not have a legitimate tight end and it's tough for them to run it in they have to use deception on the goal line but defensively you're just coming here's 91 Rod Carter holding his ground looking for that little draw play and able to make the play a lot of pressure your defensive philosophy is pressure on the goal line the thows don't work that well Colin Macky at 28 yd field goal try Rodney price will put it down this one is up and [Applause] perfect so for the Gamecocks they pull to Within four 1351 left to go Jimmy Johnson wants another undefeated season but his team are going to have to work hard to achieve it on their next Drive they were forced to punt and as we rejoin play South Carolina had the ball the Miami 45 yd line it's third down and [Applause] 10 Harold green down lose football Miami's got it at the 42 [Applause] Bane I believe ripped the ball as he ran in with a helmet of Harold green and watched Daniel stubs 96 well there some question they huddling about this whether it was a fumble or not the pass is complete to Green he's going to try and work for extra yardage well definitely a fumble no question about it but there's a big huddle at the middle of the field as Bane comes up with the ball now we can see that it's a fumble but the officials of course don't have that that Advantage 951 left to go it was an apparent fumble that the Hurricanes recovered right in front of the Miami bench right in front of head coach Jimmy Johnson it would give the Hurricanes the ball at the 41 yd line here's referee Terry monk who is not yet ready to tell the orange bull crowd what his call will be he's trying to get Jimmy Johnson to calm down and that may be his toughest Battle of the night but consider the implications here consider the implications to Miami Syracuse Florida State Nebraska and to that man Jimmy Johnson this ball is in Miami territory we have an inadvertent whistle during the fumble it was third and 10 so we will replay the down it's third down W third and 10 an inadvertent whistle and we will replay the down let's take another look watch the fumble clearly as Bane hits Herold green well I don't know that you'll be able to hear the whistle but but this is the this is the inadvertent whistle heard around the world this could affect five football teams in the National Title it's clearly a fumble when was the whistle there's your fumble it's a tough one here a tough one for Miami third and 10 for the Gamecock they Trail by four Kevin White in motion flags are down now there's no flag there and here come the Gamecocks and we've got a freefor so a great football game deteriorates into the kind of mass fight usually only seen in ice hockey or baseball when order was restored both teams were given a penalty which canceled each other out and the Dawn was replayed but to the horror of quarterback Todd Ellis his pass was intercepted by Miami's George Myra Miami were unable to score on the resulting drive but they were able to run plenty of time off the clock so as we rejoin the play South Carolina still only trailing by Four Points have the ball at their own 11 yd line 2 minutes 37 seconds remain in the game motion by Kevin White Ellis fires he's got Buffet first down at the 30 buffet fights up to the 34 hangs out of the football and Myra hangs on to Elvin be a pick up of 22 first and 10 South Carolina well tell you this is where you earn greatness if you want to be considered a great quarterback a guy like Todd he'll never be considered great until he leads him back in a game like this and this is a test two-minute drill here for Ellis motion by Sterling sharp Harold green trapped over the right side behind Calvin Stevens and Mark prer hammered backwards but not before he fought his way for two tough yards Jimmy Jones the first orange Jersey to arrive well you talk about leading him on a great drive maybe Todd Ellis is thinking about that tape not Nebraska but but it's Miami and it's before a national television audience it be a great game to pull out I think when you go to college to play this is all you could hope for as a game like this what it's all about you go to college for games like this green 29 carries 108 y Blitz Ellis dumps it off his arm was in motion it's an incompleted pass Greg Mark got there 64 232 out of pensak New Jersey and Mark has made some big plays they really haven't exploited him on the running game but he's really done it on the passing game remember the interception on the screen play late in the second quarter and here he's using that Speed and Agility on the backside on Todd Ellis third down six defensive backs in for the hurricane over the middle batted down at the 49 yd line by by George Myra the rule for a linebacker is when you play in his Zone in the middle you get deep keep it in front of you if you don't see anything in front of you see there's nobody in front of him keep dropping keep dropping George and you'll drop right in in front of a receiver he never turned his head but he was right in front of sharp where he should be and that's great coaching and great learning over the years by Myra fourth and six this the ball game for South Carolina they don't get the first down they're out Ellis HS it up a floater out of bounds looking for Danny Smith that one had no chance Jimmy Johnson in his hurricane a minute 24 away from an 11 and0 record and a date with the Sooners of Oklahoma here in the Orange Bowl and Miami took possession of the ball and simply ran the clock on to end the brave challenge of South Carolina Coach Jimmy Johnson got his victory ride and his second successive unbeaten regular season at Miami an outstanding record the final score South Carolina 16 Miami 20
