Canes crush No. 2 Hokies By Zev Mines Sports Editor The computers should start reconsidering their equations. The No. 5 University of Miami Hurricanes, ranked behind Florida State in last week’s Bowl Championship Series standings, proved that they deserve a legitimate national title shot after a commanding 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 close to as well as we possibly could play in all three phases," head coach Butch Davis said. “We were moving the ball and having some success on offense. Most of 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 passing, 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 called the Z-Pump. 1 went out and did my assignment and Ken Dorsey found me wide open and I just took it in for the score.” On Saturday, Moss continued his great play of late. The senior wide receiver caught four passes for 154 yards and two touchdowns. His other score was another quick Cane strike in the form of an 80-yard touchdown bomb. “The last one to Santana, I just didn’t want to overthrow him,” Dorsey said. “So I threw the ball as far as I could and that was the result. I think that was one of the first times 1 hit him stride for stride in the game.” Dorsey had a solid game of his own following a poor showing last week against Louisiana Tech, in which h{ threw three interceptions. The sophoj more finished 11-of-23 for 283 yard» and three touchdowns. Most import tantly for Miami, Dorsey had no interJ ceptions.
