Miami Hurricanes Football - "State Champions" - [2004 Season]

A full video recap of the 2004 season, where the Miami Hurricanes backslid their way to 9-3-the first non-double-digit-win season since 1999-but could at least hold their heads high as State Champions in a season they let an ACC title slip away in the regular season finale.
A Labor Day weekend Top 5 match-up against Florida State was a 10-3 snooze-fest until the final minutes, with Miami tying thing 10-10, forcing overtime and getting the 16-10 victory.
Miami jumped out to a 6-0 start and a No. 3 ranking before falling on the road to a 3-4 North Carolina team, 31-28-followed by an overtime home loss to Clemson, where Miami held 17-0 lead before falling 24-17.
The Canes bounced back and beat No. 10 Virginia in Charlottesville and rolled 52-7 at Wake Forest, setting up a winner-take-all showdown with fellow Big East defector Virginia Tech for an ACC title-but the Canes sputtered at home, falling 16-10 and settling for Peach Bowl birth against hated rival Florida (instead of a Sugar Bowl showdown with undefeated Auburn, who went on to beat the Hokies.)
Miami went on to take out No. 20 Florida, 27-10-bookending the season with wins over the Seminoles and Gators.

Observations:
1. Coker was horrible at addressing the team. His pregame and postgame speeches are cringe. He comes off like a substitute teacher.
2. Brock Berlin basically ruined any chance Miami had to win a national championship in 2003 and in 2004. The 2003 team definitely had the talent to win it all. 2004 Miami probably was not a national championship team as much as they were a contender that lost too many games because of inconsistent offensive play. The defense was good but the quarterback position gave us no chance. And we probably needed a home run hitter at running back which we did not have.
3. There had to be a way to take full advantage of Devin Hester‘s talent aside from special teams.
