Some of the best college football games you’ll ever see those two back in the day didn’t leave too happy on those game but they made it through. We are today. What series?
went to Miami games from 1985-2005 (moved to CA) This was THE single loudest game i was ever at, anywhere , C. Ward couldn't hear shit in the closed end of the OB , and that was US !!!
@@orangecounty2033 Yes, I have! I moved to Florida in 88! I've been to plenty of games at the OB 90 to before it was knocked down. The loudest Miami home game in history was 2017 Miami vs ND at the Hard Rock. I talked to quite a few ND fans who said it was the loudest college game they've ever attended before. I met a ND alum in his late 60's who been to ND road games all over the country to USC, Texas, OU, Penn State, Michigan, Miami OB and others. He himself said that was the loudest game he had been too including ND home games.
the ‘94 FSU game is widely recognized as the loudest game in Miami history. The stadium almost imploded when Carlos Jones pick6’d Danny Kanell and some of the stands were visibly rocking from side to side. The West End Zone was an asylum on fire
Looking back at these games it shocking that: 1.Toretta won the Heisman. 2.How overrated Kevin Williams was as a receiver. Couldn't catch a cold. 3. How great Barrow, Armstead, and Smith really were.
The officiating in this game was lol funny. Opening kick return like 3 block in the backs, Horace Copeland fumble was clear he was out of bounds and back in plus never had full possession, Corey Sawyer int was clearly not a catch and although legal back then like 5 horse collars lmao what a mess
Gino was not a very good QB. He threw off his back foot a lot. His accuracy was always suspect. His arm strength was below average. He benefited from having a tremendous amount of talent around him that covered up his below average talent.
Back when the Orange Bowl was still there. Now it's a stupid baseball stadium that plays host to a poverty organization. Shameful. So much history and legacy gone.
Agreed. As a life long Miamian, there was No need to tear down the Orange Bowl. The poverty orgainzation/the pathetic Marlins (could have had a stadium built at a different location). Also, the iconic Miami Stadium was torn down (for apartments). We, Miamians can thank the older Cubans for both of these disrespectful (to Americans) power-driven actions. To this very day, there are bad feelings toward what was done and by whom. The ungrateful (for being welcomed so warmly to our country) and uncaring (about our feelings) people. Was so very unnecessary.
Ken Dorsey is somewhere in that conversation as well. I remember re-watching some 01 and 02 UM games, and my goodness Ken Dorsey was so overrated. Torreta and Dorsey were good COLLEGE QB's, but because they were surrounded by SO MUCH talent, future NFL level talent, that they were made to look FAR better and put up far better numbers, then there individual talent would lead you to believe how good they were.
I'm sorry but you didn't out play anybody. you had only 1 touchdown you were forced to kick 6 field goals. of which you only made 3. Torreta was a crap QB for Miami but still lit you up for a couple. You moved the ball with a lot of help from penalty's. FSU's defence and Tortetta kept you in the game.
FSU should've ran 1 more play before the FG at the end. 4 turnovers, the safety was like a 5th. 3 missed FG's , and half a dozen punts on Miami side of the field. We would've definitely won the rematch innthe fiesta bowl had Bama lost to Florida in the sec championship
I can’t think of another game that had better LB’s on the field. Both of these team’s LB units were LOADED with phenomenal talent.
Yes lord
This was one of the most intense games I've ever had the pleasure to witness! What a game!
Major hitting happened
I'm not sure what the "Golden Years" of college football was but 1992 is definitely in there.
Honestly college football is always golden compared to everything else.
The golden years were 83 to 95
@@coastercane8130
Nop
1980 - 1999
Golden years without Bama being in the mix most of that time was not golden.
😂 😂
Bama beat this same Miami team for the national championship in the 1992 USF&G Sugar Bowl.
ROLL TIDE!
I LOVE 90s College Football!!!! Miami & FSU were must see TV!
wow 30 years ago...feels like yesterday
Vanover was a beast!!!!
Thanks a lot Steel Buck🤗🤗🤗🤗

The Miami vs ND in 2017 is the loudest Miami home in history and probably in the state of Florida.
@@arronfrazier7873 lol .. you were never at the OB ... dolphins stadium is a joke

@@odiezilla No, its not!
20:02 Dwayne Johnson and Warren Sapp on the sideline waiting to show their talent to the world. UM Football Go Canes
Damn that fsu defense was loaded
Real football here.....
Looking back at these games it shocking that:
1.Toretta won the Heisman.
2.How overrated Kevin Williams was as a receiver. Couldn't catch a cold.
3. How great Barrow, Armstead, and Smith really were.
Toretta was terrible. Had a great D. Williams was speed only.
0:50 Missed a clear block in the back on that opening kickoff return.
Miami always found a way to win, and fsu a way to lose 😂😂😂
You have a very strange understanding of the word "always"
@Tman Bowden had a losing record to every Cane coach with a NC, count em 4. It seemed like always that the F up was losing to them.
FSU could have had 100 offensive possessions in this game, they wouldn’t have scored a TD against that Defense.
The officiating in this game was lol funny. Opening kick return like 3 block in the backs, Horace Copeland fumble was clear he was out of bounds and back in plus never had full possession, Corey Sawyer int was clearly not a catch and although legal back then like 5 horse collars lmao what a mess
Man Gino threw the ball off his back foot too much!
Killed miami during the bama game! I am a hurricane fan that game was tough to swallow.
Gino was not a very good QB. He threw off his back foot a lot. His accuracy was always suspect. His arm strength was below average. He benefited from having a tremendous amount of talent around him that covered up his below average talent.
two wonderful defenses and two lousy kickers makes for an interesting game. #TheU
21:52 is where the big hit but much better hit at 43:50.
Didn't Bowden switch to the shotgun after this game ?
If only Charlie Ward had a kicker.....2 National championships!!!
How can you keep using an incompetent kicker?

I can’t help but wonder if everyone on the Miami side was buzzing on coke during every game
😂 lol
Me too they probably were lol
If we only had a good kicker in the 90 would evan talking um 😂
Florida state is my favorite college football team but Miami hurricanes is my other favorite college football team 2
Gino has to be the worst qb we had ...how he won hiesman is out of my mind, he can't throw at all, isn't accurate, I don't know what ppl see
They looked at his win/loss record which was pretty amazing. He only lost two games (FSU 89 and Alabama 93 Sugar Bowl) in his college career.
Ken Dorsey is somewhere in that conversation as well. I remember re-watching some 01 and 02 UM games, and my goodness Ken Dorsey was so overrated. Torreta and Dorsey were good COLLEGE QB's, but because they were surrounded by SO MUCH talent, future NFL level talent, that they were made to look FAR better and put up far better numbers, then there individual talent would lead you to believe how good they were.
Gino always appeared to play well because he had players that were more talented than him
@Riles3152 The 2001 team that Dorsey played on is one of the best college teams to play. So many draft picks from that team.
That was a charly brown momet he wifed the kick❤
It never gets any easier! FSU went 3-6 on FG! We outplayed Miami just like 91 ! They just recruited kickers better! Lol
I'm sorry but you didn't out play anybody. you had only 1 touchdown you were forced to kick 6 field goals. of which you only made 3. Torreta was a crap QB for Miami but still lit you up for a couple. You moved the ball with a lot of help from penalty's. FSU's defence and Tortetta kept you in the game.
All these years later rewatching this in my opinion Torretta was a average QB his receivers is what made him look good.
Gotta be elite on special teams too lol not just offense and defense otherwise fsu would have more nattys
FSU should've ran 1 more play before the FG at the end. 4 turnovers, the safety was like a 5th. 3 missed FG's , and half a dozen punts on Miami side of the field. We would've definitely won the rematch innthe fiesta bowl had Bama lost to Florida in the sec championship
Not to mention
If Derrick Brooks doesn't get tripped up
He scores off that block FG
ooohh but ya didn’t lmfao WIDE RIGHT 2
Is it just me that thinks the calls in this game were a little one sided?
Bama beat this same Miami team for the national championship in the 1992 USF&G Sugar Bowl.
ROLL TIDE!!
Nobody cares Jimmi with an I
Bentley would have made it
Year Miami got Bamaed
Ahhhh. Real football! Offense defense n special teams.
Not like today. ALL offense... they totally softened the game. Pussified it, if u will!
woulda, coulda, shoulda, but you didn't! FSU could rarly get it done against Miami!
Toretta wasn't that good of a quarterback
He was much better than Frank Costa
