That was an incredible collection of talent to watch during the 2001 season
Great point... And great first name too!
Ed Reed was literally the only single talented player on the team.
@@theriotartist what are you smoking
@@theriotartist I’m the biggest Ed Reed fan but yea you trippin hard 😂
Best team ever. No contest
They didnt even have a qb. Joe burrow, jamarr chase, justin jefferson, clyde edwards-helaire, terrace marshall, thaddeous moss, devin white, patrick queen and derick stingly to name a few wouldve ran circles around these guys are you kidding me?
Statistically they aren’t even close to 1995 Nebraska.......
Sure they have big name talent but they simply weren’t as earth shattering dominant from beginning to end every game the whole season.
Some crazy stats. 2019 LSU is considered the most high powered offense of all time, yet 95 Nebraska still averaged more points per game than 2019 LSU and they had a rush offense.....
1995 Nebraska ranked #1 in total offense, #1 in total defense, and #1 in special teams. They scored 12 touchdowns on defense and 6 touchdowns on special teams.
1995 Nebraska averaged 8.4 yards a down.
1995 Nebraska never trailed in a single quarter of a single game all season.
1995 Nebraska holds the largest margin of victory in any national championship game ever, and they did so against statistically the greatest Florida team in program history who ranked #2 in total offense and #2 in total defense.Florida was never held to less than 40ppg against anyone and they played 6 Top 25 teams. 1995 Nebraska beat them 62-24.....
Florida averaged 360 passing yards per game and 220 rushing yards per game going into that game. 95 Nebraska held them to 218 passing yards, -28 rushing yards and recorded 7 sacks, 2 forced fumbles and 3 interceptions.
Despite 95 Nebraska playing the #2, #3, #5 and #8 best defenses in the country (all Top 10 teams) their oline did not allow a single sack all season......
@@nalabishop402 Well now we have to address an elephant in the room. Are we playing with 2019 defensive rules were blowing a kiss to the QB is aggravated assault with a 10 year prison sentence or are we playing with old school defensive rules?
Also yes 2019 LSU had an insanely strong offense, but they also ranked #33 in total defense for a reason.....
@@brian2440 not to mention nebraska in a bowl game kicked peyton mannings teeth in lol and I'm a vol fan I think it was 97 I think
@@nalabishop402 WHO 🤣🤣🤣HILARIOUS
And to think Sean Taylor was just a freshman on this team.
Dude the running backs were PORTIS,GORE,MCGEHEE! SICK
Yep he was a freshman
And was 3rd string
And he could’ve been a RB for em if he stayed at that position like he played it in HS. Sean was crazy.
Now he ded
The greatest college football team ever assembled.
Best Team in the HISTORY of college football 🏈
In history bruh
No they are not better than 95 Nebraska.....
@@brian2440 lmao stop smoking that stuff son.
@@brian2440 get off that powder
@@Losenezz it’s not even close……
In my opinion, one of the biggest mistakes ever made by the City of Miami was demolishing the Orange Bowl, hands down horrible mistake!! That stadium had so much history and was the perfect venue for the Hurricanes, very sad.
there was a lot of magic in that stadium....miss the OB, old Boston Garden, and the Oracle arena in Oakland. Even old Chicago stadium....
Could have won 3 titles. Butch Davis built a powerhouse.
Greatest team of all time hands down!
This team is the greatest. The end
They didnt even have a qb. Joe burrow, jamarr chase, justin jefferson, clyde edwards-helaire, terrace marshall, thaddeous moss, devin white, patrick queen and derick stingly to name a few wouldve ran circles around these guys are you kidding me?
@robert facts and 3 hall of famers Reed and wilfork and Andre Johnson will b added
I forgot frank gore too
@@nalabishop402 nope nobody is kidding you. Best team ever assembled period. That team would beat you in every aspect of the game. No team has done that before or since. You can name all the folks you want the end result would’ve been the same.
@@nalabishop402 Devin White wasn’t even on that team. Sean Taylor, Ed Reed, Jonathan Vilma, DJ Williams, Phillip Buchanan, Mike Rumph, Antrel Rolle, Vince Wilfork. Andre Johnson on offense, Clinton Portis, Frank Gore, Willis Mcgahee, Jeremy Shockey, Kellen Winslow Jr. You’re crazy if you think that squad would’ve been anywhere close to beating them
Every time I think about that 2001 team I get goosebumps.
THE MOST TALENTED TEAM TOP TO BOTTOM IN HISTORY ✋🏾🤚🏾
Oh yeah? How many of them had NFL careers? Lol. 2008 Gators way surpass them
@@theriotartist I’m happy you asked, the answer……31 played in the NFL and 4 of them are NFL Hall of Famers like Ed Reed. Too bad the gators had TimTebow go play baseball division 3 and that murderer Aaron Hernandez go to jail, and you know the rest of those gators losers. Bye Felicia ✋🏽🤚🏽🧡💚
@@gocanes9881 not for long at all. There are still Elite players at their position in the league from that Florida team. Only one of the Miami people thats relevant or had even a fathom of a career is Reed and he aint last very long either.
@@gocanes9881 Hernandez is a better football player than anyone who has ever attended Miami
@@gocanes9881 don't forget Joe Haden, Pouncey, Percy Harvin, and Reilly Cooper buddy lmao. Nobody from Miami is even slightly relevant other than their ONE NFL HOF in Reed and he wasnt the top person at his position during his tenure unlike alot of these Florida players.
Da Best...The depth on that team was crazy
ONE of the greatest teams? There is NO other college football ever assembled with the level and depth of talent that 01 Hurricanes squad showcased. The ONLY weakness they had was at QB, but they still were so overwhelmingly talented that they were able to make Ken Dorsey look like a good to very good college QB.
This was the absolute GREATEST college football team ever assembled. This was an NFL team wearing college uniforms!
It’s the best team imo this century so far
The 21st century yes though 2004 USC
, 2015 Alabama, 2019 LSU could possibly give them a run for their money......
@@brian2440 2005 Texas better than all those teams you listed
@@TheoSprinkles They are not better than 2004 USC.....
2019 LSU
Hard to argue that the 13 Noles wouldn’t stack up. Average points of victory was 44….
I am so proud to be a Hurricane fan!!! They rooted us twice! Once with Ohio State and than with Florida State! It should have been three NC for those Hurricane team!! GO CANES BABY!!! The U forever!!!
2001 Miami vs 2019 LSU would be awesome to see.
By far the best! People forget the defense was better then the offense!, and the offense was elite!
Anytime you have sean taylor, frank gore, willis mcgahee, vince wilfork, antrell rolle, kellen winslow jr. As back ups..... what more is there to say..... greatest ever
Best team EVER.... Hands down... DYNASTY.
In 2002, the Miami Hurricanes were robbed out of the BCS National Championship by the Ohio State by a rebby officiating crew in Phoenix, Arizona at the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl! Miami should have won at least eight National Championships!
I remember years ago they were doing a show on ESPN regarding the 2005 USC team and how it would stack up against past D-1 championship programs. They had the 2005 USC team beating the 2001 Hurricanes team. First let me say I am a lifelong USC fan. But in my opinion, nobody beats that 2001 Miami team, absolutely no one. The 2001 ‘Canes were stacked stacked stacked with talent!! Too many names to mention!! Fight On!! 😂
2000-2002 we could been Champs . 00’ flawed system .. 02’ stolen from us ..
02 title game should've never been that close. Too many mental mistakes that game.....
2001 Miami hurricanes are the best college football team of all time nobody can beat the amount of NFL talent they had
Love this, but this video was too short. I expected more.... Let's Go CANES
That Boston college win was definitely the game when I knew this team is gonna win it all, they fought through the storm. And that int and Reed taking it to the house, yeah that’s the best team ever in college football history ✊🏾🙌🏾💯
Y’all made a 10 year kid from Northern California fall in love with college football that season. Canes for life
The names on this team is insane hard to argue this wasn't the best team ever even with 2019 lsu 2020 Alabama and 2021 georgia this team was special
I agree. I think that the 2001 Hurricanes team were on a whole different level compared to those teams you mentioned. The one stat that always blows me away is that the 2001 Canes played a ranked opponent in back to back weeks and won both games by a combined score of 124-7
Man I love Ed reed
They had as talented of a roster as any college team we have ever seen. They were pro the entire 2 deep.
Thats right!! The best college football team ever...LETS GO CANES!!!
This video was too short. I would've loved to see more. Let's Go Canes []_ _[]
2001 Miami vs 2019 LSU would be the greatest sporting event i can think of!! Good god almighty i would've cried if i actually got that matchup!!
I got the canes winning 45-34. Both teams are putting points on the board
🙌🏾🙌🏾 we need that same leadership from Ed Reed in the locker room
I just sit and wonder how many titles Miami would have had not Butch Davis left. We could go even further back and say the same thing with Howard and Jimmy.
And one other thing because I see a couple of Alabama fans chiming in. Kids back in the 80's- 00's wanted to be at Miami. Thats all they thought about. They weren't given 5-6 figure money bags to come there. To your credit, Alabama has taken advantage of a down Miami program whose administration, until Kirk Herbstriet called them out, cared nothing about football. This allowed Saban and others to come to south Fl and take what they want. I believe the NIL deals along with Mario will slow the poaching considerably.
HANDS DOWN THE BEST EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whenever someone claims 2019 LSU as the best college team I just mention 2001 Canes. Nothing compares to
🐐
People forget that the year before (2000) they had an even more packed team but just didn't make it. Either way the 2000/2001 team is the greatest NCAA football team ever.
The BEST college football team ever!!! Their 2nd and 3rd team players could've been starters on any top 25 team..
As a Cane fan, I don't think fans of other teams really appreciate the Miami teams of 00, 01 and 02! Why do I say that? They don't understand how hard it was to build those teams! Miami was placed on probation in 1996. Miami is not the only team in the state of Florida capable of winning a national title. 96 to 98 Miami had 33 scholarship taken away, 3 years of probation and 3 years of bowl bans. Miami while on probation their fellow state rivals FSU and UF were in the best success runs in the history of their programs with legendary HC in Bobby Bowden and Steve Spuirrer. The 90's UF owned the SEC and FSU owned the ACC. Both played for multiple national titles and both won national titles. This is what Butch Davis HC of Miami 95 to 00 had to deal with coming off of probation in 98 with fighting FSU And UF here in Florida for recruits winning the way they did. Far as I'm concern knowing all that, Miami rebuild back to national power 98 to 00 is the great head coaching in college football history by Butch Davis and his staff. Miami take back over the state with Bobby and Steve there and the took back over college football. They should have played for 3 straight national titles and probably won 3 straight!
Well you just admitted theyre cheaters, how many times have nebraska had their scholarships taken away? Stop cheering for teams trying to ruin the sport already lol
2020 bama was the best team to step on a field.
@@gibsondunaway445 That's the biggest piece of bullcrap I've ever heard on the internet. Go watch games from the 90s and early 2000s and see what teams were capable of.
Very well said
@@gibsondunaway445 the 01 miami team would have danced circles around them. Circles. Too much speed. Just as much depth. Only team that maybe would've been close was burrows lsu team and Reggie bush usc team
Back then the Canes should've won three National Championships in a row from 2000-2002! They won 35 straight games! I don't care the media says. They beat The Ohio State in 2002 for the BCS National Championship!
🐐 NO DEBATE
best team ever
1. 2001 Miami
2. 2019 lsu
3. 05 Texas
Not bad
06 Florida is 3 imo
2018 Clemson is the best ever.
Nobody talking about UDUB beatin them in 2000
Break on down till the hurricane sound...CANES
Not one of the best teams, the best team in college football history
It's all about the " U " Go Canes 🙌😎
Miami hurricanes in there prime 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sixth Grade Middle School 11-12 Years old 2001-02.
Canes for Life!
Greatest team ever. 19 LSU is a close second
Nah, 2005 Texas
@@TheoSprinkles 19 LSU would hang 50+ on them
@UC7wkTtSE_XpgoEV0ICiyI6w lol I was 11 when texas played usc in 05. And I remember the game very well. Have rooted for Texas ever since. But that 19 LSU team was just unstoppable
@@djr2253 A mediocre Texas was a dropped pass away from beating that 19' LSU team.
19 lsu allowed like 25 ppg on defense 01 Miami allowed 9
2000 WAS THE SECOND GREATEST,GO CANES!!!!!!!
This was essentially an NFL team playing in college lmao
The best
Favorite stat: they only gave up 17 points at home…the shock was that they gave up that many points
I just looked this up and you are absolutely correct...this is ridiculous
Not one of the best teams the best team that ever played college football
Every time they pulled up a new game, all 6 of them: “THEY DIDNT HAVE A CHANCE”😂
The greatest college football team ever its all about the U
Shockey wilfork a.johnson rolle Kellen reed taylor Vilma dj Hester ed.james gore Portis mcgahee Lewis McKinney sapp Wayne the petagree is undeniable
Even as a cane fan the we 'should be 3 time national champs' rings a little hollow:
(a) 2000 - OK so the BCS computers did what they always did but the question is would the 2000 Canes have beaten OU? We will never know. Should they have had the chance ... maybe, for that loss at Washington.
(b) 2001 - as much of a steamroller that the '01 Canes were they nearly screwed themselves against BC and Virg Tech. Too often the Canes left points on the field - how many time did they kick a FG against Penn State who they utterly dominated.
(c) 2002 - just beat FSU and Virginia Tech again. The Fiesta Bowl they couldnt stop Krenzel running and scoring TWICE. The offense was pretty anemic most of the day considering how well they usually ran the ball - the Buckeye defense played a great game.
Anyway ... just some thoughts.
2019 lsu tigers
Lol doesn’t even come close to the 2001 hurricanes
Remember The Titans
Numbers don't lie bro. Andres being talked about for hof. Nook not even close
2019 LSU beats them by 3 TDs
The scores of these games don’t do it justice either. Larry Coker put 3rd string guys in and just went into a shell.
The Nebraska title game was 34-0 at half.
The Penn St game was 30-0 at half.
If it weren’t for Coker we would have set all time offensive scoring records. Easily.
Thank you Butch Davis!
Yeah… best college team ever. And I’m not a Miami fan.
No argument
Not even close.
And will never happen again bc of the transfer portals, kids attitudes about opting out, the whole mefirst mentality
They shoulda been playing Texas but they didn’t bother to win the big 12 championship
2019 LSU played in the big east like Miami did they would average 80 points a game
No way lsu played canes wouldn’t get more than 20 points
They were robbed the next year. That game was over.
Should’ve won 3 in a row. No doubt
what's more impressive is boston college almost beat them with a fraction of the NFL talent.
So lol it was a home game in the blistering cold. Every team has tough road games. Georgia almost lost to Missouri this past year happens to even the best teams
Not one of, the greatest team ever assembled, not even a close second
2002 lineup argueably better
Thanks for giving us one of the most boring seasons ever. You guys muredered everyone that year.
20000 one better
2019 lsu better
They are nowhere close to the 2008 Florida Gators. I'll give them top 10 but its like night and day Skill / Long Term NFL talent wise.
stop it. youre better than that. this was the greatest assembly of talent ever
Best College Football team Ever! PUT ANY ALABAMA team against us its a WASH
You crazy af is you think yall would wash ANY Bama team, and you would lose to the '19 LSU squad EASILY
@@TheNatedoggva Bruh 01 Miami had 3 DB who were not only the best in college in 2001, but have since then made the NFL ALL CENTURY TEAM and are certified in the Hall of Fame.....
Not one, the greatest of all time.
I used to say this Miami team was the best ever in CFB, but for how crazy talented the elites like Bama have gotten, I no longer think the 2001 'Canes are the best ever. The 2019 LSU team is probably the best ever. No defense was stopping LSUs 2019 team.
2019 LSU maybe top 10. Maybe
@@TheoSprinkles You say only maybe top 10? That's crazy. By the end of the year LSU 2019 team destroyed teams. What team woukd beat them. Who fo you have in front of them? Not only did they destroy teams they played probably the toughest schedule of any National Championship team. They beat. Texas, Bama, FLA, Oklahoma, Clemson and a few other good SEC teams.
@@PSU2024 They were the definitely the best team in the Nation that year no doubt.
2020 Alabama was the Goat team.

We talking football...YOU TALKING B.S
They aren’t even the best Alabama team that belongs to 1979 Alabama and it’s not even close.....
Best team ever with a 22nd sos and a 26 point margin of victory. Yeah can't believe people even believe this.
THE GREATEST TEAM EVER NO DEBATE
DAM STRAIGHT SHOULD HAVE BEEN 3 TIME CHAMPIONS IN A ROW
tbh the U should’ve won that natty against ohio state
good little documentary on how college football was back in the early 2000s..Oklahoma was very good in 2000..Florida State didn't deserve to be there..The video didn't show this, but Washington beat UMiami in 2000 and should've played Oklahoma..The BCS Formula determined who played in the national championship game back then and not really poll voters..UMiami won Sugar Bowl in 2000...UMiami wanted to control their destiny and went undefeated in 2001 ⁉📙🏈🏟UMiami killed Nebraska in 2001 BCS Championship game..
One of the greatest? They are still the greatest what you mean?!!
The 2000 squad had Santana Moss, Reggie Wayne, and Andre Johnson on the same team.. Good god …
The 2000 squad is even better but was screwed out of not going to the national title game they beat Florida state yet Florida state went in over them
And Dan Morgan. And Reggie wayne
On par w/ thay Clemson WR w/ DHop, Sammy Watkins, Martavius Bryant, Mike Williams. Sprinkled w/ a little Adam Humphries and the white Jesus Hunned Renfrow. Jacoby Ford was a yr before Mike Willaims and the white boys too. Just a stretch of elite WR dominance
@@tjanderson5892 Reggie Wayne and aj will both be hall of famers. None of those cu receivers will be. Sorry bro
@@jaimealvarezmd7245 don’t compare Clemson to these guys These guys were different
The greatest team in NCAA History. Period
Exactly
I'm a Florida Gators fan but I agree 💯 percent best I've ever seen followed closely by a Nebraska team with Tommy Fraser
They played in the Big East. Beating up on Rutgers, Temple, and Pittsburgh was not impressive. There's a reason that Miami wasn't respected by the BCS back then. Don't forget that they always needed help in the early 2000s because it was clear that if a Big 12 team like Nebraska and an SEC team like Florida or Tennessee went undefeated, Miami would be the team left out by the BCS because of strength of schedule. They were fortunate that it never played out that way because teams like Nebraska and Florida were playing monsters while Miami was playing high school teams.
@@RobbieStacks90 you must be from Tallahassee
@@RobbieStacks90 people say the same about bama bro 😒
They should have been 3-time BCS national title winners (2000, '01, & '02).
BCS screwed us in 2000 and the rap screwed us in 2002
Snubbed 2x
They cheated us
We should of had at least 10 plus titles in our program!and by now 15 plus but due to administrative mayhem and bogus accusations the program went down and Alabama took all of our players! But right now, that time has changed the U will be back in all due time and for the SEC i know your watching us because the players are coming from our back yard in Miami and as long the 2 time champ as our coach Mario Cristobal is at the helm and the New Alumni AD the U will be a threat in all sports watch and be ready.
DU4life ✋🤚!!!
@@tajik.yassin5203 until the u get a Butch davis, ain't gone happen. That dade county prove to be different. Dalvin cook, lamar jackson and others would have been canes. Dalvin came to fsu. Butch didn't let them leave. That's why they ran him up outta there. I watched bill parcell and saban on sidelines at highschool games in dade county. Jimmy johnson another u.m. coach.
Best team of all time. How many first rounders and hall of famers we're on that team 🤯 17 first rounders
In the 2010 pro bowl there was 11 of them in that 1 pro bowl that year !
I'm a Canes fan through and through...just listening to these guys talk about them days bring tears to my eyes...I remember the O.B...all that!!!!!!!!!!!!
The biggest reason why this team was so great was their mentality. They didn’t take no sh!t and truly played as a team. Just that mentality alone can make for a dangerous team and the talent they had was unmatched at that time
Let's be honest the biggest reason why is because of the talent
Greatest To Ever Do It 👍
They didnt even have a qb. Joe burrow, jamarr chase, justin jefferson, clyde edwards-helaire, terrace marshall, thaddeous moss, devin white, patrick queen and derick stingly to name a few wouldve ran circles around these guys are you kidding me?
@@nalabishop402 you don't know what your talking about that Hurricanes team had 17 players to get selected in the 1st Round from this team alone, countless all Americans and elite talent across the board and we dominated everybody we played you can tell me nothing
Yes they had a lot of NFL talent, but they did not dominate every game they ever played and where no where even close as dominate in every game as 1995 Nebraska.
Which if you want to talk NFL talent 1995 Nebraska has the #2 record at 32 drafted players and the only reason their QB wasn’t drafted was medical reasoning due to a genetic disorder.
@@brian2440 yeah thats true can't argue with that
@@brian2440 just because a team is dominate doesn’t make them the best. They would’ve destroyed that Nebraska squad
From A Noles fan… They were THE greatest college team ever, Even in 2000 when they beat us I knew who they were, they would’ve destroyed Oklahoma
I’m not a Miami fan, but when it’s good at Miami no other college football program can touch them.
STILL THE GREATEST TEAM E ER RECUITED AN RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF 1ST ROUNDERS EVEN AS BACK UPS
