But Miami (8-5) fumbled in the red zone with about four and a half minutes left, then threw an interception on a halfback pass with about three minutes left.

Funerals held for Palestinians killed in months of violence
During that same period more than 15,000 Palestinians and 350 Israelis were wounded, the United Nations said on Wednesday. Police said the motive for the attack remained unclear, and little was known about the attacker who had his face covered.
What appeared to be a 5-yard touchdown pass from Hurricanes quarterback Brad Kaaya to Stacy Coley with 5:14 left – a touchdown that would have tied the game at 20 and likely put UM ahead with the extra point – was called back when receiver Herb Waters was flagged for a block in the back. But quietly, as it grew into its own, the defense started making the plays, keeping Luke Falk and the offense in games while coming up with huge plays when it needed them most.

The team continued into the training facility and the marksmanship center, where they had the chance to go through the same training simulations that the Army personnel on site use.

Washington State, on the other hand, is a program very much on the rise.
Washington States Shalom Lunai carries the ball after intercepting a pass during the second half of the Sun Bowl NCAA college football game against Miami today in El Paso, Texas.
Richt didn’t make the trip to El Paso, but he said on air that his coaching staff is “close to being finished”. With a stud at quarterback (Kaaya; who had found his groove), the ‘Canes elected to run a trick play, which amounted to an interception by running back Joe Yearby.
New Head Coach Mark Richt joined the CBS telecast by phone during the Cougars’ possession. Leach said it was one of the biggest reasons the Cougars finished third in the Pac-12 North behind Stanford and OR and are playing in a bowl game. Washington State beat Purdue, 33-27, in 2001.
