The No. 5 University of Miami Hurricanes, ranked behind Florida Stale in last week's Bowl Championship Series standings, proved that they deserve a legitimate national title shot after a command ing 41-21 victory over the No.2 Virginia Tech Hokies on Saturday in the Orange Bowl. "It was sweeter than FSU just because we had dropped in the BCS and we wanted to make a point," said senior safety Al Blades. "We feel like we did." The Hurricanes made a strong point Saturday after outplaying the Hokies in all facets of the game. Miami dominated the first half, jumping out to a 21-0 lead heading into the locker rooms. "I thought the first half was as (lose to as well as we possibly could play Ifl all three phases," head coach Butch Davis said. "We were moving the ball and having some success on oflense. Must ot the time, if we're able to run the ball and have success with the running game, we're pretty dangerous because it helps our play-action pi ing, and keeps out of second- and third-and-long." The Canes struck early and often with big plays on offense in the first half. Miami's first touchdown drive only took 2:42 on six plays. That was the longest Hurricane scoring drive on the day. "We felt we had to come out and play well early, and play a complete game," quarterback Ken Dorsey said. "And that is what we did." The scoring began with Dorsey finding an open Santana Moss streaking across the field for a 42-yard touchdown. "We practiced it all week," Moss said."Coach cailed the Z-Pump. 1 went out and did my assignment and ken Dorsey found me wide open and I just took it in tor the MD On Saturday, Moss continued his great play of late.
