2006 was a season to forget for the Miami Hurricanes, starting the year off with high expectations and lumbering to a disappointing 7-6 record. However, coming in at number-98 on our countdown is a run from that rollercoaster of a season.
In early November, the big bad Hokies of Virginia Tech came to the Orange Bowl to battle with the Hurricanes. Once a game that had national championship implications, these two teams were now just fighting to make it to become bowl eligible.
Early in the fourth quarter of a defensive struggle, the Canes had the ball near midfield down 10-3. Quarterback Kyle Wright handed the ball off to running back Tyrone Moss, who got caught in the defensive line of Va Tech and appeared to be down. However, like a bolt of lighting, Moss emerged from the pile-up and ran into the end zone.
R.I.P. to a great Hurricane. One of my favorite runs I’ve ever seen. RIP Tyrone Moss @83_87_89_91_01 pic.twitter.com/999MJmDT5b

Though the Hurricanes couldn't pull off the win that night, Moss’ legendary run lives on forever. When the great Miami back passed away in 2018, the first thing I thought about was this play, and how it felt as a fan being in the Orange Bowl that night watching it.
R.I.P. Tyrone Moss
GO CANES!
