After the game coach Keller pointed out, "The Steelers really dominated this one". In response, coach Weiss said, "in every category, including the 4 big turnovers that will do any team in". And so the story of the Steelers trip to South Florida goes. Big Ben Roethlisberger threw 2 huge INT's + 2 big fumbles did in the Pittsburgh. Keller's boys did exactly what they needed to do. They played error free football and got the win. Miami had a 17-6 halftime lead, but Ben moved his team 80 yards in 6 plays and hit Heath Miller for a TD to make it 17-13 mid way throught the 3rd. Chad Pennington countered with a 67 play drive of his own to make it 24-13. With 5:08 left to go Mwelde Moor ran one in from 11 yards out to make it 24-19. Pittsburgh blew the 2 point conversion and for good measure former Steeler Joey Porter sacked Ben in the end zone for a safety. Hines Ward had a killer day (7-162), but on a day when your team turns the ball over individual accolades mean nothing. Pennington's 17-32-202-2td day make him the games MVP. Nate Jones and Randy Starks had the key INT's in this contest.
