DORSEY ON A TEARKen Dorsey blistered Virginia Tech during the game’s first three quarters by complet-ing 10 of his first 18 passes for 275 yards and one touchdown, including an 8-of-12showing in the first half for 193 yards and a touchdown. It marked the secondconsecutive week that Dorsey started the game on a tear as he began the Syracusegame by completing his first 10 passes of the game for 177 yards and two touch-downs. His first incompletion was a pass to Roscoe Parrish with 6:05 left in thesecond quarter. The UM record for consecutive pass completions is 14 by VinnyTestaverde against Oklahoma in 1986. Before the incompletion to Parrish, Dorseyhad completed 11 straight dating back to a six-yard completion to Quadtrine Hill in thefourth period of the Pittsburgh game on Nov. 21.

DORSEY “EN FUEGO”Since the second half of the Pittsburgh game (in which Dorsey went 9-for-11 for 150yards and 1 touchdown) through the Syracuse and Virginia Tech games, it’s evidentthat Dorsey is finishing with a flourish. His combined totals over the last 10 quarters:37-of-56 (66.1%) for 795 yards and 5 touchdowns with one interception. His totalsspanning the four quarters from the second half vs. Pittsburgh through the last twogames:*2nd half vs. Pittsburgh: 9-of-11 for 150 yards, 1 touchdown, 0 interceptions*Full game at Syracuse: 21-of-26 for 379 yards, 3 touchdowns, 0 interceptions*Full game vs. Virginia Tech: 12-of-20 for 300 yards, 2 touchdowns, 1 interceptionTotals: 42-of-57 (73.7%) for 829 yards, 6 touchdowns, 1 interception

DORSEY’S 2002 SEASON IN PERSPECTIVEKen Dorsey set personal single-season bests this season for passing yards (3,073),passing touchdowns (26), completions (194) and attempts (350). Those go alongwith a 55.4 percent completion percentage and only 10 interceptions (1 in every 35attempts). The touchdowns total ties that of Vinny Testaverde set in his HeismanTrophy season of 1986 and Dorsey exceed’s Testaverde’s Heisman winning num-bers by far in yards, completions and attempts. Here’s how Dorsey’s 2002 totalsrank on the Miami single-season passing lists:Passing Yards - 6th with 3,073Passing Touchdowns - tied for 2nd with 26Pass Completions - 8th with 194Pass Attempts - 7th with 350

DORSEY ONLY QB TO WIN 3 TIMES IN THE UM/FSU SERIESKen Dorsey made his third consecutive start against Florida State on Oct. 12, whilehis FSU counterpart Chris Rix got his second start. Dorsey was just the fifth quarter-back from either school to get a third start in the series, joining UM’s Ryan Clement(1995-97), Gino Torretta (1989, 1991-92) and Kary Baker (1972-74) and FSU’s ChrisWeinke (1998-2000). Dorsey also became the first starting quarterback in the seriesto have a 3-0 record. Torretta and Weinke each went 2-1 in their three starts, while

Baker went 1-2 and Clement 0-3. Rix was the 28th quarterback in the series to begetting a second start, and the 15th Seminole. In the series, UM quarterbacks went 17-14 in their first starts, 7-4 in their second and 2-2 in the third. FSU quarterbacks havegone 13-17 in first starts, 8-7 in second starts and 0-1 in third starts.

DORSEY’S BIGGEST DAY: WEST VIRGINIA, 2002Ken Dorsey set a new personal single-game best for passing yardage against WestVirginia on Oct. 26, as well as a new mark for a West Virginia opponent at Mountain-eer Field by passing for 422 yards (old record: 366, Alex Van Pelt of Pittsburgh,1989). The yardage total is the most by a Miami quarterback since Gino Torrettapassed for 485 vs. San Diego State in 1991. The total ranks eighth on the UM single-game passing yards list. The first 400+-yard outing also was Dorsey’s third 300+-yard passing outing of the season and his second consecutive after a 362-yard effortagainst Florida State on October 12. The passing yardage is the most by a WVU foesince 1994 (433, John Ryan of Pittsburgh, 1994).

DORSEY AS A STARTERKen Dorsey has been the Hurricanes starter since the final three games of the 1999season and, in those 39 starts, he has passed for 400 yards one time, including acareer-high 422 yards at West Virginia. He has passed for 300 yards nine times and200 yards 29 times. Dorsey has had multiple touchdowns in 31 games. By anymeasure, Dorsey has set a new standard for quarterback success at “QuarterbackU”. He has the best winning percentage ever established by a Miami startingquarterback, in addition to taking over the all-time mark in winning starts as the starterearlier this season.Winning Percentage of UM quarterbacks since 1979:Player GS W L Pct.Ken Dorsey (1999-2001) ............................ 39 ....... 38 ........ 1 ...... .974Steve Walsh (1987-88) ................................. 24 ....... 23 ........ 1 ...... .958Gino Torretta (1989-92) ................................. 28 ....... 26 ........ 2 ...... .929Craig Erickson (1987-90) ............................. 20 ....... 18 ........ 2 ...... .900Vinny Testaverde (1982, 1984-86) ............. 23 ....... 20 ........ 3 ...... .870Frank Costa (1991-94) ................................. 17 ....... 14 ........ 3 ...... .824Scott Covington (1995-98) ........................... 13 ....... 10 ........ 3 ...... .769Bernie Kosar (1983-84) ................................. 25 ....... 19 ........ 6 ...... .760Jim Kelly (1979-82) ...................................... 29 ....... 22 ........ 7 ...... .759Ryan Clement (1994-97) .............................. 30 ....... 20 ....... 10 ..... .667
