This Date in Hurricanes History: October 26th, 1991.
Brought to you by the UM Sports Hall of Fame...
The Miami Hurricanes continued their march to their fourth National Championship in 1991 with a 36-9 victory over the Arizona Wildcats in front of 53,349 fans in Tucson!
UMSHoF member Gino Torretta completed 26 of 50 passes for 350 yards and 2 touchdowns. UMSHoF member Horace Copeland had 6 receptions for 60 yards and WR Kevin Williams had 4 receptions for 52 yards and took a punt return to the house from 48 yards away in the 2nd quarter to stretch Miami's lead to 19-0 in the middle of the 2nd quarter.
Later, UMSHoF member Lamar Thomas hauled in a touchdown pass from Torretta. UMSHoF member Carlos Huerta added 3 field goals for the Canes.
The defense held the Wildcats to 238 total yards and forced 4 turnovers, including interceptions by UMSHoF members Darrin Smith and Ryan McNeil. UMSHoF member Jessie Armstead had 10 solo tackles, 14 total.
UMSHoF member Dennis Erickson's team moved to 7-0 and remained #2 in the country...as fans around the nation began looking forward to a "#1 vs. #2" Game of the Century match up in Tallahassee!
FIRST! WHAT?!...I thought so.

LMAO! It's hard to be a Colt, and not laugh at the uniform at the guy across from you. Damn those Steeler throwbacks are AWEFUL!

The Dolphin defense had not one but TWO pick six TD's today!
Tannehill had at least 10 passes batted down today which would of been the talking point if they didn't step on Jacksonville's neck! They need to fix that pronto!
Great team win!
Go Dolphins!

Bumblebee Steelers want to know what the record is for points in a game. Lol, 72 by the way.

Dwayne Lawson...Lawson reminds me of Xavier Lee:

Has a Cane scored this week?
Posted by: Dude on a Pale Horse | October 26, 2014 at 06:04 PM
I like watching the Steelers play, gives me a good perspective of what we're trying to do on defense.
Posted by: WWIN | October 26, 2014 at 06:04 PM
Steelers blitz way more than us.
Posted by: Dude on a Pale Horse | October 26, 2014 at 06:05 PM
This is the best my Steelers have played all season.
Posted by: canesteeler | October 26, 2014 at 06:13 PM
Thats a pretty good comparison CR. I think Lawson has the strongest arm in HS. Kid can wing it, NFL arm strength. Kind of reminds me a little of Joe Flacco too.
Posted by: Dude on a Pale Horse | October 26, 2014 at 06:13 PM
They have to blitz because the secondary is not very good.

I knew it was only a matter of time before we got a canesteeler sighting. My father-in-law is a HUGE Steelers fan. I'm sure he's loving the scoring and hating the last Colts drive.
Posted by: Dude on a Pale Horse | October 26, 2014 at 06:16 PM
@ByTimReynolds: The Miami Hurricanes haven't allowed a rushing TD in back-to-back weeks. Last time that happened? 2011.
Posted by: Go Canes | October 26, 2014 at 06:24 PM
@tomdangelo44: #FSU favored by 7 over Louisville. First time this season not a double digit favorite.
Posted by: Go Canes | October 26, 2014 at 06:26 PM
Pitt better run out this clock or Luck will burn them.
Posted by: SOUP | October 26, 2014 at 07:04 PM
Soup, only we run out the clock in the 3rd qtr! Lol
Posted by: WWIN | October 26, 2014 at 07:31 PM
Is it me, or does Andrew Luck favor Marino.
Posted by: CaneRock | October 26, 2014 at 07:32 PM
Favor Marino? Uh, no. He looks like an Amish settler in a covered wagon.
Posted by: Lurker | October 26, 2014 at 07:33 PM
If Steelers QB#7 isnt having the best day in NFL history, I'd have to wonder what is?
Posted by: Dude on a Pale Horse | October 26, 2014 at 07:34 PM
@MiamiHurricanes: The #Canes are 12-1 in their last 13 home games.
Your next chance to see them? SATURDAY: http://t.co/sCgzP9tIJo http://t.co/0xnXSdczKX

John Brown with the GWing 75 yard TD catch for Arizona. For those who don't know, Brown came outta Homestead HS in 2008, and took a circuitous path to Pittsburg State, and now He's ballin' for Arizona...who woulda thought.
Posted by: CaneRock | October 26, 2014 at 07:55 PM
LMAO! @ Lurker, good one.
Posted by: CaneRock | October 26, 2014 at 07:56 PM
If the Canes finish strong, the draft eligible Canes will see their draft stock rise and we may break that first-round drought we have had since 2009 might get broken. I think Chick could move up significantly if he continues to play the way he did against VT. Perhaps, Armbrister, Gunter, McDermott and Feliciano might make it into the fifth-sixth round. Pierre also has a shot at getting drafted.
Posted by: BigWindyCane1 | October 26, 2014 at 08:01 PM
Got to put Flowers up there as this year's guy who'd likely move way up the draft if he returned.
Great talent but still makes a lot of mental errors. Think he'd benefit greatly by another year of seasoning.
Posted by: Go Canes | October 26, 2014 at 08:08 PM
Think Feliciano has had a heck of a year. He dominated Thursday night.
He can be one of those guys who stays in the league a long time on toughness alone.
Posted by: Go Canes | October 26, 2014 at 08:11 PM
I think Feliciano should move to center in the NFL.
Posted by: Dude on a Pale Horse | October 26, 2014 at 08:24 PM
He's definitely today tough enough Dude. Takes a special breed to play that position.

C or G in NFL.

IDK SOUP, with a helmet on, them boys kinda look alike.
Posted by: CaneRock | October 26, 2014 at 08:32 PM
Sarasota - the fins win was all defense; the O forgot to show up!
Regarding the steelers - my daughter said, dad, those uniforms are a total embarrassment! Lol
Posted by: AeroCane | October 26, 2014 at 08:39 PM
I think Feliciano is better at G, I think that's part of the reason we only threw the ball 15 times.
Posted by: CaneRock | October 26, 2014 at 08:41 PM
JET screen!
Posted by: SOUP | October 26, 2014 at 08:44 PM
Rock...NEGATIVE.
Not even close.
Posted by: SOUP | October 26, 2014 at 08:44 PM
SOUP, if you squint ya' right eye, and turn ya' head sideways a lil' bit, they LOOK ALIKE! LMAO!
Posted by: CaneRock | October 26, 2014 at 08:49 PM
I think we've done a good job of keeping Kaaya's jersey pretty clean this season.
As its progressed we've shown if the game plan is to throw we can and if it's to run we can do that too.
Posted by: Go Canes | October 26, 2014 at 09:06 PM
If you squint like James Squinston does when he's looking towards the sidelines for plays, maybe
Posted by: WWIN | October 26, 2014 at 09:06 PM
Yo Rock...go watch this, don't give up after the first minute, hang in there:

Posted by: SOUP | October 26, 2014 at 09:10 PM
Soup, your question about when was the last time we scored on special teams? I believe it was last year at unc.
My question that I've been asking is... Why don't we ever attempt to block a punt?
Posted by: WWIN | October 26, 2014 at 09:15 PM
I think if we put Duke on KOR, we'd have a STs TD by now.
Posted by: CaneRock | October 26, 2014 at 09:20 PM

Somewhere, B Brian Blair and Jumping Jim Brunzell were watching that game and cheering on the Steelers.
