10-ranked Hurricanes fell victim to the 16th-ranked Arizona
Wildcats, 29-0, in the 23rd annual IBM OS/2 Fiesta Bowl before
a sellout crowd of 72,260 and an NBC-TV national television
audience. The Wildcats used a strong ground attack and stifling
defense to hand the ‘Canes their first shutout since
1979, a span of 168 games. It was also the first time that
Miami had been shutout in a bowl game since a 26-0 loss to
Bucknell in the 1935 Orange Bowl. The only bright spot for
the ‘Canes was Chris T. Jones, who had six receptions
for 98 yards. The loss dropped Miami out of the Associated
Press top ten for the first time since September of 1985,
as the ‘Canes finished 15th in both the AP and CNN/USA
Today polls. |
