You can say this wasn't real football. You can claim Florida State's 41-39 victory over Miami was sheer circus -- at least UM's part of it. But don't dare say it wasn't the most watchable Hurricanes game since Maryland nosed them 42-40 way back in 1984.
Miami's Hurricanes can beat anybody and everybody left on their schedule. They proved that in Saturday's gut-buster at Dolphin Stadium. They just couldn't beat a North Carolina team that kept coming, and coming and coming until it went ahead to stay at 28-24 in a game to be remembered.
For far too much of this live-long afternoon, the Dolphins football team played like one-legged men in a fanny-kicking contest. Then, for a golden handful of moments, they were back on both wheels, wreaking havoc, threatening to embarrass a bunch of Jets who couldn't even seem to put away a ragtag bunch reeling off a 1-15 season.
