Howard Schnellenberger dubbed it "the State of Miami" when he drew an imaginary line in the dirt and let it be known that the Miami Hurricanes would get first choice of any player from Miami-Dade County to the northern Palm Beach County and everyone else would have to fight over the leftovers. Those outstanding players from south Florida were the foundation of an incredible run by the Hurricanes, whose fortunes have fallen off in recent years. It's not because there's a lack of talent down south. Far from it, there is as much talent as there ever has been and the Florida Gators are doing their best to elbow their way in to get their share of it.
