For years, kids from Dade and Broward county have been talking about 'making the crib great again' when committing and signing with the Miami Hurricanes.
On Monday, the likes of Nesta Jade Silvera and Gurvan Hall Jr. turned it into a reality.
Miami's defense flexed its muscles once more and shutout Virginia Tech en route to a 19-0 win to give Miami its first BCS title since 2001 and its sixth national championship.
Silvera, an All-American senior, had three sacks in the game. Linebacker Sam Brooks, a product of Dade County, had seven tackles. Al Blades Jr., whose father and uncle played at Miami, had three tackles and a sack.
Offensively, Tyrone Williams did the bulk of the work with 266 yards passing and a touchdown.
