Overview

• The collision occurred in the third quarter with Miami leading 28-3 when Hurricanes defenders drove Florida State’s Ousmane Kromah backward along the sideline, toppling bystanders including Rowe.
• Rowe was helped up immediately and said, “I have an injury update on myself… I’m good,” before continuing with a routine sideline report.
• Booth commentators Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit reacted in real time and revisited the moment on replay.
• Miami legend Michael Irvin, standing beside Rowe, was also knocked down, and the pair later joked on-air about the mishap.
• A similar sideline collision involving ESPN’s Tori Petry during the Kansas State–Baylor game earlier the same day reinforced concerns about recurring safety risks.
