In September 2004, Jeff Bowden's Florida State offense featuring Chris Rix could not figure out a way to adjust to Miami repeatedly blitzing Antrelle Rolle off the edge. The Seminoles built a 10-0 lead without scoring an offensive touchdown, managed just 2.6 yards/play, and collapsed in the final minutes as Miami forced overtime. In overtime, the collapse continued, as Chris Rix fumbled a shotgun snap, and Frank Gore did the rest for the Canes, who won 16-10.

That was the last time Miami won a home game over the Seminoles. Since then, FSU has won in Miami's house 13-10, 41-39, 45-17 and 33-20.
