What makes that even crazier is how good Miami was that year. You'd think maybe

it was a case of the national champions losing tons of talent and then having a down year. But no, that 1990 Miami team only lost two games, the other one being on the road against #6 Notre Dame. They go on to beat #3 Texas in the Cotton Bowl 46-3 and end the year as #3 in the AP poll.

There isn’t a close second.

Curious, What Would Be The Second Greatest Home Win?

ghettomagic

From purely a rankings perspective it would be AFA 1985

Indy Coug

How did Air Force put together that good a team?

Florwood

That was the only game AFA lost all year.

Leg whip blocking. See SF 49ers of the 80s/90s

Captain Stubing

They also had legit defenses

Indy Coug

True, Chad Henning was the real deal.

Captain Stubing

AFA was ranked top 10 at the time

UCLA 59-0? Texas A&M in '96? ND in early 00s? Penn State? AFA '85 like Indy says

Rick Neuheisel still wakes up in a cold sweat from PTSD once a month because of that BYU-UCLA game.

Brisco

Texas A&M was fun, but they weren’t a great team. Penn State in ‘92 was bigger.

It has to be the 2001 Utah game. We go into that game 10-0. If it wasn’t for

Ty Detmer is still running around making D Lineman hit each other.

Unfortunately I was too young to really appreciate that win.

Those multiple 4th down stops vs. UM were so fun. Kaufusi making the stop at mid

For the win, who knocked away the pass in the end zone...????

Ervin Lee.

Didn't he get an interception?

realtall

Yes.

Watching Detmer make the defenders miss him and crash into each other and then throwing a TD

Can't say better, but the last play wins vs. UTAH in LES are unforgettable.

Bad Plus Fan

Sep 30, 1:44pm

A win this week could be a top 5-10 win ever at LES

If UofA beats Texas Tech, then it will be a huge game. Can't wait.

I was there, in the student section, booing the Miami receivers who walked off the field before kickoff

Impossible for the stadium to be more electric than it was that night!

AzCugrFan

Sep 30, 2:29pm

Even watching it on TV in Tacoma, Washington, you got that sense

BlueBuffoon

Yep. Best thing I ever witnessed in person!

Sep 30, 5:21pm

I was in the MTC at the time and I heard the crowd..

Sep 30, 2:56pm

If "some" QBs today took a hit to the chin like Detmer did, they would be out

CougarAddict

Sep 30, 3:06pm

That was the worst game ever...

Yup, we(Miami) are everyone's #1 game
