TWTW: Florida State Ponders What Coulda Been...

((HT: WCTV/Tallahassee))

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.

Here's your postgame wrap, thanks to our friends at WSVN-TV in Miami
Steve Shapiro has the highlights and post


Those of us at OSG HQ would really like to know two things:
1) Why in the blue hell is Ponder throwing to Fortson on three straight plays...???
2) Wasn't there a second left on the clock...???
