2001-2002 SEMIFINALS
#1 Miami (12-0) vs #4 Illinois (11-1)
#2 Colorado (11-2) vs #6 Florida (11-2)

Miami 44 Illinois 19 (MIA wins 90.1%, avg. score = MIA 41.0 ILL 18.0)

Ken Dorsey completed 20 out of 30 passes for 391 yards and 3 touchdowns to lead the Miami Hurricanes to a 44-19 rout over Illinois, and a berth in the national championship game. Illinois scored first on a 35 yard field goal by Peter Christofilakos, but it would be their only lead of the game. Miami started to pull away late in the first quarter after Dorsey hit Jeremy Shockey on a 66 yard touchdown pass to put the Canes up 14-3. After that, Miami methodically extended the lead throughout the second half and was never challenged. Illinois quarterback Kurt Kittner passed for 339 yards and a touchdown, but much of his yardage came after his team was well behind. He also threw three interceptions, two of which were picked off by Tanard Davis, resulting in subsequent Hurricane scores. Miami did not turn the ball over during the game.

Florida 44 Colorado 21 (FLA wins 97.0%, avg. score = FLA 44.0 COL 19.9

Rex Grossman passed for 347 yards and three touchdowns as the Florida Gators whipped the Colorado Buffaloes and earned a spot in the national championship game. The Gators stormed out of the gate to take a 24-9 halftime lead and never looked back. Colorado briefly cut the lead to 16 early in the fourth quarter on a 73 yard touchdown pass from Bobby Pesavento to D. J. Hackett, but Florida dominated the rest of way to go up 44-15. Colorado scored a touchdown with less than a minute left in the game to make the final score a bit more respectable at 44-21, but this day belonged to the Gators. Florida defensive back Lito Sheppard had three big interceptions on the day to spearhead the Gators’ defense.
