Miami came into this Week 4 game against Colorado St, 0-2, but were hoping that a home game would be the remedy they needed in order to get into the win column. Things looked good early as in the first quarter the Canes were able to get a couple stops on defense and then would punch a 37 yard field goal through to take a 3-0 lead. The Canes would get the first TD of the game early in the 2nd quarter and things would be looking promising up 10-0. Colorado St would not falter though. They would cut the score to 10-7 with 2 minutes left in the half. Miami for the second week in a row would then throw a pick 6 that would put them down 14-10. "We have to stop turning the ball over late in the half," said Coach Dealer, "these pick 6's are absolutely killing our momentum." Ward would then throw his second interception in less than two minutes, Colorado St would kick a FG at the half to go up 17-10.
The second half would start with Colorado St with the ball, but the Cane defense would come out and shut them down. Miami would put a great drive together and get down to the 3 yard line. "We had some kind of mix up with our play call," said Dealer, "we wanted a run, but for some reason a pass play was called." This would end in disaster as Ward would be sacked and the ball would be fumbled into the endzone and out of bounds. The Rams would capitalize and would quickly take it down the field for a 24-10 lead. Both teams would each add one more TD and the Canes would lose 31-17.
