Bowl Game Review
For the first time in four years, Miami was not playing for the national title in its New Year’s bowl game. Moments before kickoff of the 55th annual Orange Bowl Classic vs. Nebraska, the ‘Canes learned that the No. 1 ranked team, Notre Dame, had defeated West Virginia in the Fiesta Bowl. As the nation tuned in to the Orange Bowl, many felt the University of Miami would come out flat, knowing that all possibility of a repeat national title had been lost. The Hurricanes showed their true mettle, dominating the Big Eight Champions on offense, defense, and special teams from the opening kickoff. The statistics backed up the scoreboard as the ‘Canes held a 212-29 advantage in total yards and an 11-2 edge in first downs. Miami pounded Nebraska 23-3.
