Miami’s 2001 Road Wins: Penn State, Boston College and More

Miami’s 2001 national champions did not just win at home. They won 33-7 at Penn State in front of 109,313 fans, the largest crowd ever to watch a Miami game, according to the school’s season review. They also won 49-27 at Florida State and 18-7 at Boston College on the way to 12-0.

Penn State: A Statement Early

A 26-point win in one of college football’s biggest stadiums told the country what kind of team Miami had. The crowd figure is still the record for a Miami game in that review.

Boston College: The Close Call

Not every game was a rout. Miami’s 18-7 win at Boston College was one of the tighter results of the season, and the Hurricanes also beat Virginia Tech 26-24. Close games like these are part of why the 2001 team is remembered as complete, not just talented.

Florida State: Ending a Streak

The 49-27 win in Tallahassee ended the Seminoles’ 54-game unbeaten streak.

The Road Throwback in 2026

Miami’s anniversary uniforms include a white road jersey. SportsLogos.net reported the road version would debut in an unannounced game in the fall. For fans who travel to see the Canes, white is the color that matches the 2001 team’s road look.
