1986 Oklahoma vs Miami,Fl

Sept 27, 1986. #2 Miami defeats #1 Oklahoma 28-16 at the Orange Bowl. This Broadcast is from CBS.

This game had a lot of NFL talent on both teams

[@abbadabbba232]

Those 'Canes back then were some bad dudes, in every sense of the word! This was a classic rivalry. Trash talkers on both teams, two coaches with oversized egos, it was great.

[@SJM6791]

It was a clash of the titans!!

[@akumawani]

youre right. but back then the media treated the canes like the evil empire. they hated the canes- for the very same qualities we luv em for today... same as rap music.

[@SJM6791]

The greatest coin toss in the history of college football!!!

[@allengreene9954]

Brian Bosworth was a beast. 22 Tackles?? Damn. 0:12-0:41: “I can feel it coming in the air tonight. Oh lord. I've been waiting for this moment all my life. Oh lord. I can feel it innnn the air tonight. Oh lordddd. Oh lordddd”👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

[@rawn4203]

STILL to this day cant believe UM lost to Penn state about 3 mos later. They had about triple the yardage but coughed the ball up 5 times, cant do that in a national title game even though you are clearly the better team. What a run they had in JJ's last 4 seasons there. Had UM not lost to UT in the 86 sugar, PSU in the 87 fiesta, and at ND in 88, they would have likely won 4 national titles in a row. Had Johnson just kicked the PAT at ND in 88 at worst the canes are co-champs that season. And of course had he stuck around in 89 he WOULD have won a 2nd national title. Such great run reminiscent of the run Nebraska had from 93-97.

[@90srule96]

...and don’t forget the 2002 BCS against Ohio State that was stolen from Miami. Worst call ever!!!

[@thunderbird1921]

Well on the other side, Oklahoma probably would have won three titles or more in the 80s if it weren't for the Hurricanes. One of many teams that had their title hopes destroyed by Miami.

[@mjabate]

The problem for Miami's '85 & '86 teams centered around our QB and discipline. These were talented teams, but they lacked the mental toughness to win the big game. It all started at QB where Vinny could be rattled unlike Kosar and Walsh. Plus, Mark Seelig was a liability as a placekicker.

[@rawn4203]

@@thunderbird1921 Thats very true. Miami cost them 2 and had they not crapped the bed against UT in the 86 sugar, would of been 3 they cost OU.

[@rawn4203]

@@mjabate Yeah Vinny came thru in the regular season game of the year against OU - that game won him the heisman no doubt. But against what I would have to say was a weaker PSU team (albeit in a neutral site game, sorry Nittany Lion fans, but the 86 Orange bowl is solid proof), he played the worst game of his life. Had a pretty bad game against UT in the sugar the year before.

Tearing it down and replacing it with that monstrosity of a baseball stadium is biggest mistake the City of Miami has ever made. It makes me sick thinking about it!! The OB was the best home field advantage in college football.

[@fly5155]

[@jimegan6783]

No greater love for a home field than words like those. 👍 I said the same thing about Memorial Stadium here in Baltimore when Yankees fans would take over Camden Yards. As great a place the latter is, it's still a tourist attraction.

[@3John-Bishop]

Why didnt they gear it up to play football and have the dolphins play there?

[@davidg3524]

I hated the canes then, I loved the way OU ran the option and scored 60 points against teams. My Sonners had never seen a pro style defense though. I was only 12, started wearing orange and green after this game lol

[@kweisib4133]

Two future cowboys coaches are coaching against each other this game

[@TSemasFl]

I was 17yrs old in high school in a suburb of Miami when this game was played 15 miles away, this team were Gods to us. I went to the Miami/Florida game later after this game, and that OB was ah rocking just like this. But when the 90's rolled around, that Orange Bowl DJ, really knew how to spin those hits and the right time. The place sooo cool, just Electric. If i would have known it would all be gone, i'd would've took more time to really appreciate it and brought a camera.

[@toddsands6000]

I missed most of the 1st half of this game. Actually most of the 1st half lived up to the hype. However from the start of the 2nd half, OU definitely did not play smart football. OU's special teams put their team in very difficult situations. And those blunders helped Miami extend their lead from a 7-3 half time score to 21-3 early in the third quarter. It's a team game, but I can only imagine the anger and frustration from some of those OU players on the sidelines. UM was a very special program back in the day.

[@damienkirksey7026]

The only reason why Miami didn't win the NC was because of Turnover Vinny

[@SJM6791]

We were too cocky coming into that game. The military style outfits and other nonsense was a little over the top. I give Penn State a lot of credit for being disciplined and playing their style of football. Their defense bent, but it didn’t break and that’s all they needed in the end.

Yet the Sooners or Huskers couldn't do SHIT against the Miami Hurricanes in that era. It was like Hall of Fame men playing against so so high school players. And if Miami hadn't ditched white QB's back in the early 2000's after Brock Berlin, in favor of the more... ahem... "athletic" quarterbacks, the Hurricanes would still be a relevant team instead of an absolute joke, year after year after year. Let's stop rolling out the athletic Rufus Joneses of the world and go back to what made the school an absolute powerhouse.

Yes, both teams were loaded. Just more skill at the skill positions, and back then Big 8 wasn't especially familiar with the forward pass. Great Sooners team that just wasn't equipped to play from behind. UM's O-Line was superior that day.

[@johnjamieson9221]

You also have to consider that Johnson & Switzer went way back together as coaches. Jimmy worked with Barry at OU before he went to OSU. He was fully aware of the intricacies of “The Wishbone” offense & how to counter it defensively. Miami was the only defense in the country that could shut it down.
