Danger, 30, a University of Miami student and vocal Hurricanes supporter, was shown multiple times during the game at Hard Rock Stadium, where Miami trailed 24-21 with under two minutes remaining. The moment echoed a similar viral incident from Miami’s playoff win over Texas A&M last month, amplifying online buzz as fans commented on the cameraman’s apparent intent.
