Answers: true, true, true, true, true, true, true and true -- they're all true, except for the one about Kosar running 97 yards. Some weird stuff has happened, but not that preposterous. Plus, Jimmy never let a visor (or anything else) touch his hair dome.

The 1945 game was, in fact, decided when Miami's Inky Mazejka grabbed a blocked PAT in the air and, when tacklers grabbed him, desperately chucked the ball back to kicker Harry Ghaul, who scored the winning point.

The Miami manager-turned-QB was J.B. Johnston, promoted when every QB on the roster got hurt.

The incident known as the "Florida Flop" allowed Reaves to break Jim Plunkett's yardage record in 1971 and sparked a nasty controversy. Hurricanes' coach Fran Curci called Doug Dickey's decision to have his defense lay down on an 8-yard TD run "disgraceful." It was after that game that the Gators invaded a pool set aside for Flipper, the Dolphins' mascot.

Ten years later, it was Danny Miller whose bank-shot field goal won the '81 game.

Yep, the Ol' Ballcoach (Spurrier) struggled against Miami: beaten twice as Florida's QB, once as a coach, in the Sugar Bowl.

And yes, crusty ol' Howard certainly did tack on three points, up three TDs as time ran out, an up-yours to Gator fans who'd been pelting Miami's bench with various citrus fruit.

I didn't even mention "The Brawl on Bourbon Street" a few nights before the only meeting since '87. Some insults and drinks were tossed, then some punches. You gotta love the Sugar Bowl. It's close quarters in the French Quarter if the teams are allowed to roam from their hotels.

Anyway, if you're aware of all these wild episodes, you're a serious student of Sunshine State football who must be extra giddy about Saturday night's game. I feel you.

Put down the phone now
By the way, for you desperate ones who actually believed that: A) Corso would be given free tickets by UF or UM ... B) he would sell them ... C) he even owns a cell phone ... D) if he had a cell phone, I would give all of you the number ... and E) it's a good idea to dial any number starting with 555 ... well, sorry. A little attempted humor. By the way, if you did actually call, a little advice: The next girl who gives you "her number" starting with 555, well, kid, don't get your hopes up.

Upset averted
The other night, Miami QB Ken Dorsey was doing what millions of other loyal husbands/boyfriends were doing: watching the "American Idol" finale with their significant others. Ken always admits that he's a bit of a geek, rarely socializing outside his townhouse unless dragged by roommates. So his agenda Wednesday was no surprise. Ken's time was well-spent, when his choice, Kelly, defeated Justin 58-42, a 16 percentage-point margin that easily covered the spread. Can you tell that I often write this column in the wee hours, when punchiness has set in?

'Canes-Gators '02
Bet you thought I'd never get around to Saturday's game. Here's my sense: Rex Grossman gives the Gators an edge at QB. Not quite a Kelly over Justin edge, because Dorsey is brilliant, too, in his clutch, precise way. But an edge. Miami, though, has the edge in most other areas.

O-Line: The 'Canes lost their bookend tackles to the NFL and replaced them with more physical run blockers (Carlos Joseph and Vernon Carey). Coach Larry Coker is ecstatic (he keeps it inside) about this group's development. Florida's O-line was a concern before the UAB game and still is. Yeah, I know it's hard to complain about 643 yards, fifth-highest in school history, but Rexie got sacked three times and got hit a bunch more Saturday. UAB's defensive line is rebuilt and is in a completely distinct league from Miami's.

If the Gators cannot keep UM's rotating monsters off Grossman better than they protected against UAB, he might not make it through the game, much less the whole season. That said, UF's guys did block well for RB Earnest Graham, who I'm rooting for to have a healthy, productive season after missing some big games a year ago.

Receiver/TE: Miami also has the edge at wide receiver. The 'Canes have more proven weapons, with a crew led by superstar Andre Johnson. The Gators have game-planned for him, but AJ is the Big East sprint champion, indoors and outdoors, and is gifted enough to get open on anyone. Florida's Taylor Jacobs is also a track guy, but his huge opener (246 yards) obscured the fact that no other UF receiver was a threat, combining for seven receptions, only two longer than 13 yards. The Gators need to (and will try to) use their pair of excellent tight ends, Aaron Walker and Ben Troupe.

D-Line: Miami's is unequaled. Oklahoma's is great, too. Florida might be real solid, too, with ends Bobby McCray and Darrell Lee looking good.

Secondary: How can you lose three-fourths of your starting secondary in the NFL's early rounds and trot out a respectable unit the next year? That's what Miami's excellent DB coach, Mark Stoops, is trying to do. This game will be its biggest test, of course. They'll need help from the pass rush and will then try to smother Jacobs, forcing one of the Gators' pups to grow up in the biggest game of his life.

Coaching: Miami's staff has been through and won a bunch of big games. Florida's Ron Zook had a superb opener, but this will be his new staff's first huge game.

Intangibles: The Swamp is one of the biggest home-field advantages in sports. But it can't always bail out the Gators when the visitors are the better team, which hasn't happened often. The Vols quieted the mob last season, as did FSU in '99. So it can be done. But remember, even the great Miami team last year, with the five first-rounders, struggled big-time in its last two road games, at BC and Virginia Tech. I'm not so sure they're immune to Swamp-induced symptoms.

As coach Zook has been known to say, I've "got my jazz level up!" I'm ready to "hit it and git it!" That's another phrase from the mysterious lingo of Z-speak. I believe I know what he means, and I can't wait to get to G-ville. Gators' fans, we'll see you at The Swamp. Then, Saturday, we'll also be at Florida Field.

Crimson collision
In Norman, it's a game that maybe sounds better than it is. I know OU coaches have circled this game as one that concerns them, but Alabama showed some serious concerns in the opener that went well beyond falling asleep with the lead.

In the second half, the Tide defense couldn't get Middle Tennessee's offense off the field, leading to a pair of marathon TD drives. The Blue Raiders have a nice O-line and a physical running game, but 'Bama's effort won't cut it this week (or many others).

Penalties stalled the offense all day: four false starts, two illegal formations, and a holding call. The one thing you cannot do against a defense as relentless as OU's bunch is help them by moving backwards.

Tide QB Tyler Watts was accurate but showed again he's not one to stretch the field. It's hard to succeed by dinkin' and dunkin' a great tackling defense like OU's. Roy Williams and B.J. Johnson of Texas couldn't break free from Sooner DBs and neither will 'Bama's receivers, although Triandos Luke showed promise. OU's receiver play was far from championship level vs. Tulsa, with three third-down drops in the red zone. That doesn't figure to happen again, though.

Tulsa was Sooner QB Jason White's first game since Oct. 27, 2001, and it showed. We'll see if he can shake off the rust Saturday. He won't need to score many points.

Another terrible idea if you want to upset the Sooners: play lousy special teams. Alabama's were worse than that in week one, roughing MTSU's punter to turn momentum and allowing long kickoff returns. With a similar effort, 'Bama has no chance.

Duke wins!
I mentioned last week that I was rooting for Duke this year. I didn't expect the Blue Devils to snap their losing streak at 23 against East Carolina, though. Helped by a steady rain and a physical running game, Duke jumped to a big lead. Then the defense, coached by ex-Georgia Tech coordinator Ted Roof, forced four turnovers. In his first college game, and in his first season playing defense, redshirt freshman Brenden Dewan had nine tackles (three for loss), forced a fumble and returned a pick for a TD!

A salute to Duke's lone senior and the only surviving recruit of ex-coach Fred Goldsmith, linebacker Jamyon Small. Before Saturday, he was the only Duke player who'd ever been on the field for a win. Small has been through no small agony since then, though, and richly deserves more rewards for sticking it out.

Now, Louisville limps in. Hey, Dave Ragone, how's that rebuilt O-line treating you? Maybe Duke's got a chance for 2-0. Then, it's off to Northwestern. Is 3-0 fathomable? The Wildcats were the worst-looking team in the nation in week one.

The game I gave Duke the best shot at winning suddenly looks much tougher. Navy snapped its own losing streak by hammering SMU in the impressive debut of coach Paul Johnson, who maintained Georgia Southern's I-AA dynasty.

By the way, with Roof's defense looking pretty solid, it's worth noting that his predecessor as Duke's D-coordinator left Durham for Baylor. His Baylor defense surrendered 70 points to Cal in Jeff Tedford's debut. I will not name this coach, because I'm too darn polite.
