Freshman Frank Gore highlighted his talents in front of a nationally televised audience by rushing for 124 yards and 2 touchdowns..on SIX carries...to lead the top-ranked Hurricanes to a 45-3 victory over the West Virginia Mountaineers in front of a Thursday night crowd of 44,411 fans in the Orange Bowl ! 

Miami moved to 6-0 on the year with a balanced offense and a relentless defense that held WVU at bay...including safety James Lewis' 74 yard interception return for a touchdown.

The Canes moved back to # 1 after a 49-27 victory the week before at FSU...a spot they would not relinquish...and finish 12-0 and capture their 5th National Championship with the Rose Bowl victory over Nebraska !
