Martin Fennelly on ESPN.

Quarterback Danny Kanell tossed three scoring passes and tailback Warrick Dunn had 120 rushing yards as the Seminoles (4-0) won their 20th consecutive league game, one shy of the record set by Maryland from 1973 to 1975. As expected, the Tar Heels (2-1), a 21-point underdog, proved to be a worthy opponent. Yet, not even UNC, runners-up in the ACC last season, could generate the needed consistency to upset if not scare the defending national champions. Leading 17-7 at halftime, the Seminoles scored touchdowns on their first two possessions of the second half and, for the most part, rolled to their 14th consecutive home victory.

I By JOE FRISARO Tribune Staff Writer MIAMI After nine years and 17 days "The Streak" is over.

It vanished into a purple haze Saturday at the Orange Bowl. Showing total disregard for NCAA records, the purple- and white-clad Washington Huskies trampled over the University of Mi-, ami 38-20 thus ending the Hurri-; canes' NCAA-record 58-game home winning streak. Dazed and confused, the No. 6-ranked Hurricanes (2-1) walked off the Orange Bowl turf losers for the first time since Sept. 7, 1985, when the Florida Gators whipped UM 35-23.

On Saturday, the usually brash-talking Hurricanes were forced to watch the 17th-ranked Huskies (2-1) revel in Miami's own back yard. Afterward, the entire Huskies' team ran to a contingent of about 6,000 Washington fans sitting near the east end zone. "They were celebrating on our field," UM senior defensive tackle Dwayne Johnson said. "That's something we're used to doing. It's disgusting.

But they earned it." That's for sure. There was nothing fluky about Washington's performance, especially in the second half. The crowd of 62,663 watched in bewilderment as the Huskies rallied from a 14-3 halftime deficit to score See HUSKIES, Page 9 Huskies steal UM's heart in home invasion MIAMI The one teardrop, it looked preposterous as it rolled down so large, so strong a face. It is hard to imagine a 6-foot-3, 270-pound man being overpowered, but as he sat in the home team locker room more preposterous: it was the losing one Miami weak-side guard Alan Symonette grew progressively weaker. "Fourth grade," Symonette said softly.

"I was in fourth grade the last time we lost here. Gonna haunt me like ghosts. We let all Miami players down. We stopped The Streak." He felt much the criminal, but he was very much a victim. Finally, rising crime struck.

Miami had its home invaded. After a record 58 consecutive days of sunshine spread out over nine years, darkness descended. The Orange Bowl went from a purple haze to a dark blue. Symonette and teammates stumbled from their field. Finally, it was their lowered heads, their silence, their tortured souls.

And those were really hometown Hurricane fans manning the suicide watch. "Keep your chins up," one yelled. And that was really a tear on Alan Sy-monette's cheek. "The world is crazy," he said. "Something's not right, starting with that scoreboard." It read Washington 38, Miami 20.

UM's sacred burial ground 58 consecutive corpses had turned into a sandbox for Huskies. The boys in purple pants lifted their coach onto their shoulders, then ran to the northeast end of the bowl, right up to the stands, where more than 6,000 Husky voices had coagulated during this stirring upset, and they yelled some more. When they'd finished a team prayer at midfield, Huskies kicked at clumps of grass and tore them up. They had obtained ownership. To Washington- free safety Lawyer Milloy, it all seemed legal.

"This is our house now. We earned it." They had done the impossible from behind. Miami led 14-3 at the half, and had muscled Napoleon Washington running back Napoleon Kaufman into exile, an Elba that measured 15 yards on 11 carries. So The Streak was very safe. Miami hadn't blown a lead of seven points in 113 games a decade ago.

For this was home to the 58, during which Miami won two national titles. The second title, in 1991, was shared with a team they never met, and still hadn't until Saturday. Washington. "They should give their rings back," Milloy said. "I would have killed him if I'd heard that," Symonette said.

In less than five minutes to start the last half, the world went crazy. Washington fullback Richard Thomas went 75 yards with a screen pass. Score. UM quarterback Frank Costa threw a right-side out to Jammi German, who slipped. Washington cornerback Russell Hairston had himself a touchdown.

German fumbled the ensuing kickoff at his 23-yard line. Then Washington scored like this: Quarterback Damon Huard optioned left, almost to the goal line, but fumbled. The ball got kicked into the end zone, where a Sapp recovered not Miami All-America candidate Warren Sapp, but Washington lineman Bob Sapp. Washington led 25-14. Preposterous.

"I never saw anything like this," Bob Sapp said. Neither had Miami. The 'Canes tried big plays, but there were no big players. Some blamed luck. But the real reason was Washington.

Though Kaufman became his school's all-time leading rusher on Saturday with 3,103 yards, he managed only 89 yards on the afternoon he'd been averaging about a hundred more a game. Instead, the Huskies managed with guys like kicker John Wales. The sophomore from Kent, kicked three field goals, big ones. Even off a bad snap, he squibbed one home. "One way or another," he said, "they were all going through." Afterward, Wales stood around, near the field, waiting for the team bus to load.

He talked about the game, what he'll take from it. Some of what he took was in the side pouch of his travel bag. He pulled it out and displayed more Orange Bowl grass. "I'm going to look at it on the plane some. But then I'll put it in a envelope, and label it.

Something like 'Orange Bowl' or 'History' so I won't forget. Not that I would." Not that anyone will, i 1:71 A Associated Press photo Miami linebacker Jeffrey Taylor reflects on what just happened after the Hurricanes' loss. mi A'. 5 ww Selivanov scores twice in 7-3 win By TOM JONES Tribune Staff Writer CHARLESTON, S.C. Maybe someday, a story about a Tampa Bay Lightning game won't include his name.

Perhaps the day will come when his name will not be the first mentioned when discussing the Lightning. A day is sure to come when his name is not called among the three stars of the game because of his dazzling goals. But that day doesn't appear to be anywhere in the near future. Russian Alexander Selivanov is giving Indication that there Isn't an NHL game he can't dominate. Add Saturday night's game against the Buffalo Sabres in Charleston, S.C, to the list.

Selivanov, 23, scored twice more this preseason to lead the Lightning to a 7-3 victory before 7,939 fans at the North Charleston Coliseum. "See TAMPA BAY, Page 12 Harris gets chance to show his worth The Bucs' tight end returns to Green Bay to face his former team. By NICK PUGLIESE Tribune Staff Writer GREEN BAY, Wis. There were some bitter words out of Wisconsin after the Bucs acquired Jackie Harris in June by making him the NFL's highest-paid tight end. Packers General Manager Ron Wolf basically said Harris wasn't worth the $7.6 million the Bucs were going to pay him during the next four seasons.

Wolf said Harris was a good player, but not in the category of Green Bay's Pro Bowl players. Flash ahead three months and it's time for the first meeting between Harris and his former team. Harris does not know what to expect from the sellout crowd today at Lambeau Field, but he's prepared for anything from cheers to jeers. "It really doesn't matter because I've had worse going into Chicago. I'm there to play football," said Harris, who might be slowed by a sore thigh.

"It's a matter of business. We're trying to win football games." Bucs coach Sam Wyche, who saw his leading running back, Reggie Cobb, sign with Green Bay several months prior to the Harris deal, defended Wolf last week when asked about Wolfs theory that the free-agent swap was almost like a trade.
