First-year Miami head coach Mark Richt was the starting quarterback for the Hurricanes in place of an injured Jim Kelly in the 1982 meeting at Notre Dame Stadium — the year prior to Miami winning its first national title. Who kicked the winning field goal for No. 10 Notre Dame with 11 seconds left in the contest in the 16-14 win versus the No. 17 Canes?

A. Harry Oliver

B. Hal Von Wyl

C. Mike Johnston

D. John Carney

Answer: C, Mike Johnston. He converted a then-school-record 19 of 22 field goals that season while earning a scholarship. He succeeded Oliver (1978-81), beat out Parade All-American Von Wyl for the starting role, and Florida native Carney didn’t enroll until the next season when he backed up Johnston.
