College football: Miami hasn't been same since losing to OSU, but appears to be on right path
The celebration had begun. Fireworks erupted. Confetti fell. At that one brief instant, when Craig Krenzel's overtime pass to Chris Gamble in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl hit the ground, the University of Miami's football program was at its apex.
Bob Hunter commentary: Oddly enough, rooting for Wolverines makes sense
I'm going to try to root for Michigan this season. Seriously.
Fiesta Bowl memories still resonate with Buckeyes
To say field judge Terry Porter's penalty call decided the 2002 national championship is a huge oversimplification.

Hurricanes will test mettle of Buckeyes
Coach Jim Tressel wasted little time in reminding Ohio State players about the challenge that awaits them a week from today in Ohio Stadium. He did it in the locker room almost immediately after No. 2 Ohio State beat Marshall 45-7 on Thursday. It seemed the quicker his players could put that game behind them the better, considering that next is the University of Miami, which is ranked No.13 and won its opener against Florida A&M 45-0.
