Harris lifts Miami over FSU in wild one, 38-34
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) – Ailing shoulder and all, Jacory Harris put on a show that Miami won’t soon forget Monday night.
And the Hurricanes’ defense came up huge when it mattered most.
The sophomore quarterback threw for 386 yards – including a 40-yard pass over double coverage to Travis Benjamin, setting up Graig Cooper’s 3-yard touchdown run with 1:53 left – and led the Hurricanes past No. 18 Florida State 38-34 in a wild, back-and-forth game on Monday night.
Florida State got to the Miami 2 with 14 seconds left. But Christian Ponder threw three straight incompletions, the last coming on a ball that Jarmon Fortson nearly caught in the end zone on the game’s final play, and Miami escaped.
