The Miami Hurricanes are set to open the season in just 50 days, facing off against the rival Florida Gators in the Camping World Kickoff -- a nationally-televised matchup on Aug. 24 inside Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Fla.
But what makes this season-opening tilt between two of college football's most storied programs is the history between the two in-state adversaries. The 2019 game will mark the 56th meeting between the two sides in a rivalry that Miami leads, 29-26. The Canes have dominated the rivalry ever since Miami's program rose to dominance in the 1980s, going 8-3 since the 1983 national championship season.
Miami and Florida's rivalry began in 1938 with a 19-7 Hurricanes victory. Starting with the 1944 season, the two sides met every year until the Gators decided to no longer schedule the Hurricanes following a dominant 31-4 UM win in 1987. The rivalry sat dormant for 13 years until fate and some controversy in the Bowl Championship Series brought the two teams back together.
Miami finished the 2000 regular season winners of nine consecutive games to run its record to 10-1. The Hurricanes ranked second in the AP Poll for the final five weeks of the regular season and had wins over both No. 1 Florida State and No. 2 Virginia Tech during the regular season.
But the BCS computers determined that Florida State would face No. 1 Oklahoma in the 2001 Orange Bowl, ranking the Seminoles ahead of the Hurricanes by 32-hundredths of a point.
Despite identical records and a head-to-head win over the Noles, Miami was denied a chance to play outright for the national championship in their hometown.
Instead, they were destined for a date with the rival Gators in the 2001 Sugar Bowl and they entered that game feeling slighted and also hungry to prove they were the best team in the country and that meant bad news for the University of Florida.
"Hey, there's 116 other teams or however many Division I schools there are out there that would love to be in our position," said Miami sophomore tight end Jeremy Shockey at the time. "This is a great opportunity for us," Shockey said. "You can't let good opportunities like this slip past you."
The Gators headed to New Orleans as the SEC champion with a 10-2 record and ranked seventh in the BCS poll. Florida's team featured talent and depth on both sides of the ball, including quarterback Rex Grossman, receivers Jabar Gaffney and Reche Caldwell, running back Earnest Graham, cornerback/return specialist Lito Sheppard, defensive end Alex Brown, defensive tackle Gerard Warren and safety Marquand Manuel.
But Miami's team featured one of the finest collections of college football talent ever assembled. Led by seniors including receiver/kick returner Santana Moss, receiver Reggie Wayne, running back James Jackson, middle linebacker Dan Morgan and safety Al Blades, the 2000 Hurricanes refused to be denied.
Add in gifted quarterback Ken Dorsey, a sophomore who threw for 25 touchdowns and just five interceptions during the regular season, as well as Shockey, junior running back Najeh Davenport and sophomore standout back Clinton Portis and the depth on offense was significant.
Tack on a defense that included future NFL first rounder Damione Lewis anchoring the defensive line and a secondary that featured three future first rounders in Edward Reed, Mike Rumph and Phillip Buchanon and you could see that Miami would prove to be a formidable opponent for just about any college football team in the country.
Both sides were amped up when the opening kickoff left the tee inside the Louisiana Superdome on Jan. 2, 2001.
Miami's defense forced a three-and-out on Florida's opening drive and Moss, who had four of the Hurricanes' five punt returns for a touchdown in the 2000 season, evaded multiple Gators in a 27-yard return that gave the Hurricanes' offense the ball in Gator territory to start its first possession.
The Canes charged to the Gators' 30 before kicker Todd Sievers missed a 47-yard field goal that gave the Gators some momentum. Florida turned that momentum into points, as Grossman engineered a seven-play, 70-yard scoring drive that ended in a 23-yard touchdown pass to Kirk Wells to put the Gators ahead, 7-0.
But Miami answered back with a 44-yard field goal on its next possession, the first of three Sievers would convert on the evening, the cut the Gators' lead to four. The Canes ended the first quarter ahead, 10-7, after Dorsey connected with Shockey for an eight-yard score.
Each team connected on a field goal in the second quarter, with Jeff Chandler's 51-yard kick bringing Florida within three points.
With 13 seconds left in the first half, Florida head coach Steve Spurrier passed up a 43-yard field goal attempt from the Miami 26 to take a shot at the red zone. The decision to go for the lead backfired. Grossman's pass, intended for receiver Taylor Jacobs, was badly under thrown, and Miami cornerback Leonard Myers picked it off send both squads to the locker rooms with Miami on top, 13-10.
The Canes opened the second half with the ball and were eager to add to their lead, but Florida had other plans.
On the first play from scrimmage, Brown sacked Dorsey for an eight-yard loss and put Miami in a deep hole. Two plays later, Keiwan Ratliff picked off Dorsey on third-and-15 and Florida took over possession in Hurricane territory.
It took just one offensive snap for Florida to jump back ahead, as Graham burst for a 36-yard touchdown run that put the Gators on top, 17-13. But the Hurricanes withstood the blow and delivered a big counterpunch, scoring touchdowns on their next two drives to go ahead for good.
Freshman fullback D.J. Williams hauled in a 19-yard pass from Dorsey for the first score, wrapping up a dominant 12-play scoring drive that covered 80 yards.
After forcing a three-and-out, Miami scored again through the air on its next possession when Davenport made a circus catch on a two-yard pass from Dorsey that gave the Canes' QB his third touchdown of the game and put the Hurricanes ahead by ten.
The Gators, sensing the game slipping away, made a big play late in the third quarter to give Florida hope. Miami was driving again and had entered Gator territory before Dorsey took a shot deep on first-and-10 from the UF 49. Moss had Lito Sheppard beat down the right sideline, but the Florida pass rush forced the pocket to collapse just as Dorsey released the ball. The Gators' DB picked off the underthrown pass and prevented the Miami lead from growing to 17.
Grossman and the Gators converted the turnover into points, driving 79 yards before Chandler hit as 26-yard field goal to bring Florida within a score, 27-20.
But that score would never come, as the Hurricanes' defense blanked the Gators for the final 12:50. Facing a third-and-10 with 7:40 to go and a 10-point deficit, Grossman forced a pass to the left side intended for Caldwell. Buchanon baited the throw and instinctively jumped the route for an interception that was a big blow to the Gator sideline.
The Hurricanes delivered the knockout punch with 4:21 remaining in the game, as Davenport rushed for a three-yard touchdown and the Canes went into full celebration mode. Miami's mascot, Sebastian the Ibis, was called for a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after running into the end zone to celebrate with Davenport and his teammates.
Sievers lined up for a 35-yard PAT, but a penalty for too many men on the field moved the Canes back another 15-yards and Miami's kicker was forced to attempt a 50-yard kick. Sievers, who had converted a 50-yard extra point earlier in the season, drilled the kick through the middle of the uprights to put Miami ahead by 17 points.
A dejected Florida sideline watched Jesse Palmer come in to the game and try to provide a late spark, but the new quarterback did not fare much better than the one he replaced.
With 2:08 to go, Palmer was picked off by Morgan at the goal line and Miami's unanimous All-American linebacker, team captain, Big East Defensive Player of the Year and the recipient of that year's Butkus Award, Nagurski Trophy and Bednarik Award returned the interception 26 yards to seal Miami's 37-20 victory and cap a hall of fame career.
"We got what we deserved," Spurrier said following the game. "You've got to give Miami credit, because they were better than us. It was sort of embarrassing the way we played."
Dorsey, who finished with 22 completions in 40 attempts for 270 yards and three touchdowns, was named Sugar Bowl MVP.
"He's a winner," Miami coach Butch Davis said. "He's always making the right decisions. And tonight our guys helped by making some big-time catches."
The victory over the Gators meant Miami went undefeated against its in-state rivals in the 2000 season. The Hurricanes closed out the year 11-1 and carried a 10-game winning streak into the unforgettable 2001 season that ended in the Canes' fifth national championship.

It do suck that Silverado is out. If it ain't the neck it's the ankle and feet.
This is a blow to the Dee. The DE's will be special but not completely sold on the DT's. Make no mistake we will be good but I think we give up some yds. vs the rush.
Don't have a guy like Willis up front. Ford Is really unproven and Bethel is steady at best. LB's and Strikers are going to have to produce. Got to get a push up front or our young pups in the secondary could be toast against a good passer. The talent is there.
We get a consistent QB we will be in business. Oh line is the big question mark.

City that's been a die hard Canes fan as long as I have and that's a long time, like 70 years. Like most of us he hates the Gators. He is 81 yrs old.
We decided we wanted to see the U beat the gators so He is going to pick me up at the airport, we are going to party with some of you we hope.
looking forward to seeing some of the Canes family.

This might be the best defense that CMD has had since arriving at Miami, and that says a lot.
Posted by: BigWindyCane1 | July 31, 2019 at 04:51 PM
I am all for an ALL world defense once again but what I would pay for an OFFENSE that could score every time the defense got a big turnover. Scoring MORE than the other team is a really cool concept and would be really nice.
Then throw in some special teams that were actually SPECIAL once again. Blocked punts for TDs, Blocked FGs. Then some timely punt returns and KO returns PLEASE. No Richard Gordon types need apply.
Then some better strength and conditioning so that we OWN the fourth quarter once again. Holding up FOUR fingers should not stand for four more losses, but for our dominance when the game is on the line and matters most.
Yeah, give me that for a year or two or three and I may actually be happy once again for another brief segment of my life and moment in time.
#ThatsTheTicket

I made up my mind. Bought my airline ticket and going to Orlando to watch the Canes beat the Gators.
I would hate to not go and have them win. Will arrive in Orlando Thursday evening. ESPN's cortical not ranking the Canes in the top 25 pissed me off.
If they happen to lose and play a close game it will be worth it. Cant be any worse then thee LSU game.
Hope to see a lot of you guys at the game.
Posted by: Harry Miller | July 31, 2019 at 05:45 PM
Big windy
Other than depth at LB, I agree, this will be the fastest most athletic defense we’ve had in a long time. Very exciting to think about.
As for the offense, I think the same - whether it’s perry or Tate, Davis and lingard, Jett Thomas, Jordan, Mallory, our interior OL - gonna be a good offense with potential to be special IF the OT’s hold their own
Posted by: AeroCane | July 31, 2019 at 05:27 PM
Seems like there is good competition throughout the team. IMO, Pleasantly surprised to here that junior Derrick Smith has stepped up, and seems to deflect or intercept a pass every practice. I had penciled in Hall and Carter as the starting safeties, with Bolden being the first off the bench, but perhaps I was too hasty in my assessment. Derrick Smith is balling early in camp. Also, freshman Keontra Smith is bigger and more athletic than I thought.
The Canes have some talent at Safety. I am feeling better and better about the Canes defense being elite this season. This might be the best defense that CMD has had since arriving at Miami, and that says a lot.

I can live with that.
With the depth of offensive young talent we have, there will be quality OCs lining up to replace him.

Well, I am the biggest culprit in offering unsolicited, optimistic opinions, but the players and coaches have to go out there and show us that they can win, and it all starts on 8/24.
IMHO, the Canes have the talent to win 10+ games this season and really make a statement, but I could have said the same thing about last season. For some reason, I get the feeling that Enos will be different from CMR but we will see.
IMO, Coach Barry will also be different. First, George Brown has left the team. Second, I noticed that Coach Barry has selected his first and second team OL though the first four practices, and he hasn't deviated from that two-deep lineup yet. I find that interesting, given that Searles seemed to shuffle his two-deep OL lineup throughout Fall Camp and well into the 8th game of the season. Barry announced Zion Nelson, Navaughn Donaldson, Corey Gaynor, DJ Scaife, and Kai Leon-Herbert as his starters, and he seems committed to making OGs, like Scaife and Donaldson, play their natural positions, and letting OTs like Leon_Herbert and Nelson play get settled into and theirs. So far, it appears Barry is not preaching that "best five" and "OL shuffle" philosophy of Searles.
It could show that either Barry is a good evaluator of OL talent OR he is stubborn and not open to change. I think it is the latter. IMO, that is a good sign. I will try to sneak in a catch a couple of practice before 8/24. We will know for sure on 8/24.

Posted by: JaxCane | July 29, 2019 at 10:43 PM
IF, we have the successful season that we SHOULD have this year... I agree... Enos will be courted by many other teams and probably offered some HC positions.
Kind of a Catch 22... we want success, for Enos AND our Offense, but we also want him to fly under the radar and be left alone...

Keeping Enos for 2020 will be the toughest and most important task for Manny. This team will win at least 10 games this season. The defense will be top 5 again this year. The key to this season will be the offensive line. The thought that we could potentially bring back the same group the following year is really encouraging.
Posted by: JaxCane | July 29, 2019 at 10:43 PM
I haven’t seen any live practices, just videos. It’s too early to predict starters, but I hate reading about the dropped balls, fumbles and interceptions in practice. Execution on offense is key. Hopefully, Enos will get all of that cleaned up by the end of Fall camp. This Enos offense can put up some big scores if the players can execute

Are you serious?!?! The Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed Vincent Testaverde, former Hurricane and son of Hurricane Heisman winner Vinny Testaverde. He transferred from Texas Tech to Miami and then eventually left for Albany College... and now he's in the NFL? Practice squad if he doesn't get cut...I assume. WTF

BWC1,
Good to read. I hope you're right. Thanks!

IMHO, the Canes' DL will be the best in the ACC, and one of the best in the country. Even with the loss of Willis and Jackson to the NFL, the DL will actually improve in quality and depth. I saw Ford in the Spring, and there is no doubt that he is ready to take that next step. Ford is bigger than Willis and Ford is also athletic. When Ford is on top of his game, IMO, he can be blocked without a double-team. I think he could be a surprise All ACC player.
Younger players like Silvera, Harvey, Rosseau and Miller will also take that next step and growing up, and the transfers like Trevon Hill with elite ability stepping in. There is a lot of future NFL talent on the DL, and because of it, I am confident in predicting that this defense will be an elite defense this season.
This is the Canes' best DL in a long time. Our DEs and the DTs will present a lot of problems for opponents.

UM’s DeeJay Dallas says three touchdowns not good enough.
Miami Hurricanes running back DeeJay Dallas (13) says he needs to do better even after scoring three touchdowns during Miami Hurricanes Spring scrimmage at Traz Powell Stadium on Saturday, April 13, 2019. BY AL DIAZ
Monday notes on every position from UM’s second open practice of training camp, and fourth practice overall:
▪ Quarterbacks: For the first time since April, N’Kosi Perry, Jarren Williams and Tate Martell spoke to reporters today, and colleague Susan Miller Degnan will have a report on that. All got work with the starters on Monday.
Perry was the best of the three QB contenders for much of Monday’s practice before struggling late with a couple errant throws in the face of a heavy pass rush, including one nearly picked by Nigel Bethel. In drills with receivers against defensive backs, Perry lofted beautiful deep balls for completions to Mark Pope (beat Bethel), K.J. Osborn (beat Keontra Smith) and Jeremiah Payton (beat Christian Williams).

Perry opened one extended 11 on 11 period with the starters and led a drive for a field goal, highlighted by a 15-yard pass to Jeff Thomas and 15-yarder to Will Mallory. Perry has particularly good chemistry with Mike Harley Jr.; they hooked up for multiple catches

Martell, in 11-on-11 team drills, was often forced to scramble. When he’s on the run, he generally throws well on short patterns. He overthrew Dee Wiggins but made a terrific throw on the sideline to Mark Pope for 15 and led UM to a field goal (a 55-yarder by Bubba Baxa) on his initial drive. Martell’s accuracy throwing outside the numbers has improved from the spring.
But Martell’s deep ball accuracy was off on a few throws on Monday.
In 1-on-1 drills, Williams threw a terrific deep ball to Brian Hightower and another nice pass to Dee Wiggins. Williams can scramble more effectively than you might think, and when he’s at his best, he throws a really nice spiral. But Williams had two passes batted down and another nearly picked by Derrick Smith.
▪ Running back: DeeJay Dallas opened with the starters but was immediately replaced by Cam’Ron Harris after fumbling his first carry. Harris continues to run the ball authoritatively.
And Robert Burns, whose high school and college careers have been plagued by injuries, looks very good and has emerged as a viable short-yard option.
“Robert Burns showed up in the spring and made some really good runs in the spring that made us think he’s a guy we really haven’t felt like we’ve seen all that he can do,” coach Manny Diaz said Monday. “He gives us a power back, a different dimension than the other guys we have. I’m kind of excited to watch him run. I know our guys on defense notice when 22 has the ball.”
Lorenzo Lingard, back from last season’s knee surgery, “is really progressing,” Diaz said. “He’s been able to do everything other than the team periods. A lot of it is mental, getting confidence in the cuts. You’ll keep seeing guys grow and maybe roles change.”
▪ Tight end: Mallory opened with the starters — with Michael Irvin Jr. in two tight end sets — and continues to impress, making multiple catches.
Brevin Jordan, sidelined by a knee injury, did some work on the side but did some on-field work, too. There was even a Brian Polendey citing; he caught a short pass from Martell.
▪ Receiver: UM will spend the next month trying to decide, among other things, who’s most deserving of the third through fifth spots in the rotation behind Osborn and Jeff Thomas (who left during practice to have his lower leg massaged; it wasn’t anything that appeared serious).

Dee Wiggins opened with the starters in three-receiver sets and dropped a throw from Perry. Among the others competing for a rotation spot, Brian Hightower made a long catch on 1 on 1s and another good catch in team drills but also dropped a Martell pass over the middle.
Pope hauled in the exceptional deep ball from Perry but failed to extend his arms for what should have been a catch on another nice throw from Williams. Harley was reliable Monday, catching several short to intermediate throws, and Payton had the nice catch on the deep ball from Perry.
Evidence Njoku is on the fringes of this race. Receivers coach Taylor Stubblefield coaches these guys hard; when walk-on receiver Jarius Howard failed to make a catch, he told him: “You have more than one arm.”
▪ Offensive line: For the fourth consecutive day, Zion Nelson opened at left tackle and Kai-Leon Herbert at right tackle. Nelson was beaten by Jon Garvin on a couple of would-be sacks, but UM has been encouraged enough by Nelson’s play to leave him with the starters.
D.J. Scaife has remained at guard, not tackle, opposite the other guard, Navaughn Donaldson, with Corey Gaynor at center. Those three assuredly will start.
“Zion, his upside is limitless,” Diaz said. “[But] we don’t know anything yet” about whether this will be UM’s starting line.
The second-team offensive line: John Campbell, Cleveland Reed, Jakai Clark, Tommy Kennedy and Zalon’tae Hillery.
▪ Front seven: The first group remained the same — Garvin and Scott Patchan at end and Jon Ford and Pat Bethel at tackle. Striker Romeo Finley joins Shaquille Quarterman and Mike Pinckney in some formations, with Zach McCloud cycling in and freshman Samuel Brooks flashing. UM is hopeful but still has no clarity on the status of linebacker commitment Avery Huff.
Meanwhile, freshman end Jahfari Harvey continues to impress.
“Jahfari Harvey is a very athletic kid, great get off, great burst, has good instincts,” Diaz said. “He can bend. We’ve got some defensive ends that are a problem and he’s one of them.”
▪ Defensive backs: Though DJ Ivey was UM’s best cornerback this spring aside from Trajan Bandy, Al Blades Jr. has worked ahead of Ivey early in camp as a reward for his exceptional work in the offseason, including the weight room.
When UM goes to nickel packages, Bandy shifts inside and Ivey and Blades play on the boundary. As valuable as he is as a cover guy, Bandy on Monday again showed his value on blitzes.
Gurvan Hall and Amari Carter remained the starting safeties, with Robert Knowles and Smith backing them up. UM is hopeful that USC transfer Bubba Bolden, who’s finishing a class in junior college, will arrive on campus in the next week.
▪ Special teams: Baxa nailed two long field goals, but punter Louis Hedley left early with a leg injury and didn’t return…. Thomas assuredly will be the punt returners.. Harley, Osborn and Dallas are options on kickoff returns.

Completely whitewashes the fact Steele has the Virginia teams and even Pitt with new OC Mark Whipple as solid contenders in the Coastal in 2019, got to feed the homers slop to keep them nodding in agreement while ignoring the fact that Clemson will house whoever gets out of one of the most mediocre divisions in all of the five main conferences in the game. So it's more of the same old, same old, be sure to pay no attention to the man at FIU who deserves the head coaching job based off of qualifications instead of political favors off-shooting from old grudges by BOT morons.

It’s not good to have to bounce back after a mediocre season, but I’d rather Miami prove Steele correct and actually bounce back rather then slide back into the muck of an 8-4 or 7-5 regular season.

Phil Steele has several pieces of high praise for Manny Diaz’s Hurricanes for the 2019 season
As usual, Miami has high expectations for the 2019 season. Can the Canes live up to them for the first time in a long time?
By Cameron J. Underwood@UnderwoodSports Jul 28, 2019, 10:00am EDT
Share this story
This pair is a big reason why the Canes enter 2019 with high expectations Photo by Mark Brown/Getty Images
In the world of CFB prognostication, Phil Steele is the name that many look to. With an annual CFB preview magazine — a thick tome of information, analysis, and commentary that I think every fan should have — Steele has made a name for himself as a go-to analyst.
With his annual preview magazine already on shelves, Steele has finally released his preseason top 25 heading into the 2019 season.
Phil Steele's long-anticipated preseason Top 25 is finally out and, in that top 25, Steele has the Miami Hurricanes ranked 15th. High praise, to be sure.
Years ago, I (and many others) derided former CFB analyst Joe Schad for ranking Miami in the top 10 ahead of Mark Richt’s first season sight unseen. So, it stands to reason that we look at the narrative that Steele is using to rank Miami so highly and dissect that too, right? Right.
Here’s what Steele has to say about the Canes:
The Hurricanes are my pick to win the ACC Coastal as their Top 10 defense won’t go through the growing pains of a new head coach since Manny Diaz has been there for four years. Dan Enos will get the offense turned around.
Steele has the Canes ranked ahead of teams like Washington, Texas A&M, Auburn, and Penn State, among others, in his preseason top 40.
Furthermore, Steele exhibits his faith in the Canes this season by naming Miami his #2 surprise team for the 2019 season. Steele’s surprise teams are those who had a less-than-stellar season a year ago that he expects to turn things around in a big way this year.
You’ve already seen what Steele had to say about putting Miami at 15th in his preseason rankings. Here’s what Steele said to rank the Canes as his #2 surprise team in 2019:
My #2 surprise team is the Miami Hurricanes, who did well as my #2 surprise team just two years ago. They opened the year AP #18 but got to 10-0 and #2 in the country before they were hit with injuries and dropped their last three games. Normally there is a learning curve for a first-year head coach but Manny Diaz has been here for four years and knows the players well. Despite their 7-6 record and 35-3 bowl loss, Miami had a solid defense that held foes to 123 yards per game below their season average (#5 in the country). Most of that defense is back, led by their veteran LB corps. OC Dan Enos has talent to work with on an offense that underachieved last year. They do open with Florida but only have four true road games this year and none versus any of my Top 25 teams. They are in the Going Up box for a softer schedule and had five Net Upsets last year. Miami will likely not be ranked in the preseason (in the USA Today/Coaches or Associated Press polls).
I like that Steele doubled down on his projection that Miami will bounce back in 2019. It would have been easy in one part of his magazine or another to hedge his bet and play devil’s advocate that Miami would reprise yet another underachieving season. Steele, however, did not do that, and is at least one national analyst who is very bullish on Manny Diaz’s Hurricanes in the 2019 season.
It’s not good to have to bounce back after a mediocre season, but I’d rather Miami prove Steele correct and actually bounce back rather then slide back into the muck of an 8-4 or 7-5 regular season.

Garvin could be the best DE the Canes have had in a decade. Garvin is a natural pass rusher. Garvin’s bend around the edge is a beautiful thing to watch when he is on top of his game. With his work in the weight room, I detect a work ethic and determination that should propel Garvin to a very special season. He is preparing like it’s his “contract year.”
I hope the Canes can keep Garvin for all four years, but I get the feeling Garvin is on a mission to have an all-world performance this season. If that happens, the Canes defense should have a great season, but the NFL will come calling.
Posted by: BigWindyCane | July 27, 2019 at 10:29 PM
No worries, Herb. The Canes picked up a commitment from 2020 recruit, Marcus Clarke, a 5’11” CB out of winter Park, FL.
Clarke is a three star, but probably underrated. I like the way this staff recruits. The staff ignores star rankings and identify their recruits based on their own observations (even if it’s late in the recruiting process), and they go after them like Butch used to.
