| The 24th-ranked
Miami Hurricanes defeated North Carolina State, 46-23, in
front of a partisan crowd at the 1998 Micron PC Bowl. Miami
never trailed in the game jumping out to a 27-10 halftime
lead. Senior Scott Covington’s aerial attack on the Wolfpack
would earn him game MVP honors, finishing with 320 yards passing
and two touchdowns on a 17-of-24 performance. Covington’s
favorite target on the evening was sophomore Santana Moss,
who hauled in five catches for 141 yards - including an 80-yard
second quarter touchdown pass. Edgerrin James led the UM ground
attack with 156 yards on 20 carries while James Jackson totaled
99 yards on 11 attempts. UM’s offense set a new bowl
record with 594 total yards and six touchdowns. The UM defense
forced one fumble, made six tackles for loss and set a new
Micron PC bowl-record with five interceptions. Linebacker
Dan Morgan finished with a game-high 12 tackles and a forced
fumble. This was just proof that the 'Canes were on their
way back. |
