THURSDAY NIGHT Brock Berlin leads 'Canes comeback

Miami trailed Louisville by 17 points before winning in the last minute.
MIAMI (AP) -- Flat on his back on the Orange Bowl turf, quarterback Brock Berlin writhed from the hit he had just taken. The Louisville Cardinals had him down, but not out.
Berlin rose slowly and stayed in the game, sparking a second-half rally to help the No. 3-ranked Miami Hurricanes beat No. 18 Louisville, 41-38, Thursday night.
"I was hurting pretty good," said Berlin, who bruised his chest in the second quarter. "But I never considered coming out of the game."
Good thing for the Hurricanes (5-0), who needed Berlin's three touchdown passes. They erased a 17-point deficit over the final 20 minutes and came from behind twice in the fourth quarter to remain in the race for their sixth national championship since 1983.
"Brock Berlin played a super game, especially in the second half," coach Larry Coker said. "He was on fire."
Led winning drive
Berlin threw for 308 yards -- 215 after halftime -- and directed the winning drive, a 56-yard march capped by Frank Gore's 1-yard run with 49 seconds remaining.
"We kind of got ourselves in a hole," Berlin said. "Some things weren't working. But we proved what type of character our team has."
Gore's touchdown capped a seesaw fourth quarter. Devin Hester scored on a 78-yard punt return to put Miami ahead 34-31, but Louisville (4-1) regained the lead when freshman backup quarterback Brian Brohm directed an 80-yard touchdown drive.
Stefan LeFors threw three touchdown passes for the Cardinals before being sidelined with a concussion in the fourth quarter.
"We came out and threw everything we had at them," Louisville coach Bobby Petrino said. "I thought we had them. Unfortunately we didn't."
The Berlin factor
That was largely due to Berlin, the target of boos when Miami fell behind in the first half.
He finished 25-for-37, including a completion on fourth-and-4 to keep the winning drive alive, and threw touchdown passes of 9 yards to Greg Olsen, 14 yards to Roscoe Parrish and 11 yards to Akieem Jolla.
The Hurricanes scored on all six possessions in the second half, but Brohm had them worried until the final play -- a Hail Mary pass from midfield that was intercepted.
LeFors went 17-of-22 for 244 yards. Lionel Gates scored three times and Tiger Jones caught two touchdown passes for the Cardinals, who totaled 507 yards against a defense that had given up only one touchdown in its first four games.
