| The Heroes: Taking a look at the UM-FSU series' biggest performers - Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel Posted: 08 Oct 2010 11:09 AM PDT The last time Florida State had journeyed to South Florida to play Miami, in 2008, running back Antone Smith scored a school-record-tying four touchdowns. Well, Jermaine Thomas, behind the interior-line paving done by guards Orlando Hudson and David Spurlock and center Ryan McMahon, picked up where Smith left off, piling up 96 first-half yards and three touchdowns, giving No. 23 Florida State a 24-7 halftime lead, en route to a 45-17 waxing of the 13th-ranked Hurricanes. There have been countless standout performances and plays since the UM-FSU series began picking up steam and relevance after Bobby Bowden was hired in Tallahassee in 1976. Here are some other great ones: UM NT Jim Burt Sept. 27, 1980 Burt batted away a Rick Stockstill two-point conversion pass with 39 seconds left as the Hurricanes edged FSU 10-9 at the Orange Bowl. The Seminoles lost two games that season, both by a point. UM WR Eddie Brown Nov. 12, 1983 Brown caught a 37-yard touchdown pass from Bernie Kosar that got UM within 16-14 and then had a 17-yard punt return to set up the Hurricanes' last-second 19-yard field goal at Doak Campbell Stadium UM QB Vinny Testaverde Nov. 2, 1985 Testaverde completed 23-of-41 passes for 339 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions in No. 11 Miami's upset of 10th-ranked FSU in Tallahassee. UM WR Michael Irvin Oct. 3, 1987 Irvin caught touchdown passes of 26 and 73 yards from Steve Walsh as third-ranked Miami edged No. 4 Florida State 26-25 at Doak Campbell Stadium. FSU LB Kirk Carruthers Oct. 28, 1989 Carruthers logged two interceptions, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery as the Seminoles handled the No. 2 Hurricanes 24-10 in Tallahassee.
