UMSHoF Class of 2012 inductee Ed Reed may have saved Miami's season with a 91 yard lateral return after Matt Walters' interception of a Boston College pass in the last minute of the game to send the Hurricanes home with an 18-7 victory over the Eagles before a Chestnut Hill crowd of 44,500 !
 

With Miami leading 12-7, under 30 seconds remaining and Boston College at Miami's 9 yard line, Mike Rumph deflected a Brian St. Pierre pass, that Walters caught and began returning, before Reed ripped the ball from his hands and outran a BC defender to the end zone to preserve Miami's victory...and most likely, it's 2001 National Championship season !
 
Miami QB Ken Doresy had an unusually poor game, only 20 of 41 passing for 222 yards and 4 interceptions.  Kicker Todd Sievers gave the Canes a 9-0 halftime lead with three 2nd quarter field goals, and added another to tie the school record with 4 in the game.  Clinton Portis had 160 yards on 36 carries.

Ed Reed and Bryant McKinnie, members of the 2001 National Champions, will be inducted into the UM Sports Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2012 inductees at the 44th Annual UMSHoF Induction Banquet, to be held Thursday, March 29th, 2012 at Miami's Jungle Island !  Go to UMSportsHallofFame.com  for more details !
