Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver Michael Irvin made plenty of headlines for his energy during No. 10 Miami’s quarterfinal win, and he was losing his mind once again during Thursday night’s 31-27 win over No. 6 Ole Miss in the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Ariz.
Irvin, 59, was on the sidelines yelling in jubilation and throwing his arms in the air before doing some flexing as Carson Beck’s three-yard touchdown scramble with 18 seconds left in he fourth quarter put Miami in the lead for good.
Irvin then shared a hug with Miami’s mascot, Sebastian the Ibis, mirroring the Hurricanes players’ reaction in the back of the end zone.
The former wideout wasn’t the only football alumnus in Arizona for the win, as Ray Lewis and Edgerrin James served as honorary captains. Cam Ward, the No. 1 draft pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, was also on the sidelines.
Beck, in the lead-up to the semis, praised Irvin in particular for his energy at games for the Hurricanes. Not holding anything back, Irvin said Miami took “Belt to ass” to Ohio State in the last round.
“I love him. The energy that he brings to this team, it’s irreplaceable, right?” Beck said. He’s an amazing person, an amazing human being.
“Like I said, the energy that he supplies this team is irreplaceable and we love having him around.”
The Hurricanes will either play Indiana or Oregon in the national title game at, fittingly enough, Hard Rock Stadium in Miami on Jan. 19. It’s a safe bet Irvin & Co. will be on hand again.
