Went to high school with Randall "Thrill" Hill here in Miami at Miami Killian C/O 1987...legend has it, he is still running through that tunnel 36 years later..😂
I am a Longhorn fan, but I must admit that this was a total beatdown for Texas. One of the worst losses ever. The Miami defense totally dominated the Longhorn offense.
Epic beatdown. Miami and FSU throughout the 80's and 90's did for college football what the Lakers and Celtics did for the NBA. Took it to a whole new level.
yeah no, they were good teams but...college football dont need help. It is the most popular sport in America...always has been. NFL is for immigrants and other non citizens
@@BlorbusUnimax Wrong! Florida CFB led by Miami, help push CFB to a national level and far more others things! Miami introduced the modern NFL to Howard Schnelleburger 1979 to 1983! Miami under Jimmy Johnson 84 to 88 help usher CFB to speed on defense at all 11 position not the SEC. Miami under Jimmy Johnson, Miami in 1987 became the first college/university to get a apparel deal from Nike for football and its sports programs. Now everybody in CFB on most levels have one.
How can a team with over 200 yards in penalties including a personal foul for Miami walking onto the field still kick the other teams ass? Oh, that's Miami! Go Canes!
The U destroyed the Horns. This was when Miami beat most teams when the schedule came out. It's been almost twenty years since we've had a true Canes team to play like these did. Hopefully this year with Manny things can get changed.
@@gynandroidhead Miami would have won convincingly. They would have destroyed Georgia Tech - the Coach's poll champ. And, I think the AP Champ, Colorado, might have made it more of a game, but I still would say Miami by two touchdowns. They were the best team, by far, but really struggled on the road that year, losing to BYU and Notre Dame, and then really struggling with San Diego St. But, at home, they looked like a National Championship team.
@@shehanagaraj1063 I am a lifeling, 40+ year Husker fan, and this game was the ultimate "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" because as much as I disliked (but respected) Miami's talent and their historical impact on the game regarding team speed, I hated Texas.
I honestly thought the 'Canes had MORE penalties than Texas had first downs. I looked it up and UT had 20 first downs and the 'Canes had 16 penalties. Honestly, I bet you at least 5 of those UT first downs were in garbage time or when the 'Canes were in prevent. This game was a total beatdown for The U.
Near the end of the game they showed the record stats for the Cotton Bowl. Texas record for only one passing first down also a record for 6 first downs on Miami penalties
Couple of takes from this game •White hat seemed to really enjoy announcing the penalties against Miami •"Thrill" Hill had super speed! •Canes put a serious pounding on Texas Finally in my opinion Stephen McGuire was the very best all around RB in Hurricane history.
Man, all those penalties…NCAA has always been biased against Miami. Maybe it’s that swag that can only come from Miami. That day we took the refs to the cleaners, & they’ve been hating us ever since.
If you use oil money to buy talent, it's known as a "competitive advantage". If a Hip Hop mogul buys talent, that's known as "questionable recruiting tactics". It's called the Mobil Cotton Bowl, not the "Uncle Luther Cotton Bowl". 😉
My friend Todd absolutely refused to let me on his boat if I had ANYTHING that referenced UM, after this game. He was real sensitive about that beating :-)
I remember I was recording this game and because if the penalties I had to use 2 video tapes. Texas took a complete ass whoopin that day and Dennis Erikson figured out how out of control his team was.
I hated Miami when they were great. Now I realize they were the biggest rock star team in college football history. Sorry but Bama and Georgia are very boring by comparison.
@@thfzn3130 The Washington Huskies says Hold My Beer. No coincidence that Miami & Washington or Washington & Miami were considered the best 2 teams of 1990. The next year they both were co-national champions
Has anyone ever checked Texas football's all-time scores? For a top program, they have a lot of embarrassing blowout losses. This is one at 46-3. But look at some of their losses to Oklahoma. There's a 66-3 loss to UCLA in 1997. There's a 47-6 loss to BYU in 1988. They also lost to Houston 66-15 that same year. 1989 sports a 50-7 loss to Baylor. It's not like the teams that they lose to in these games are necessarily outstanding teams (Oklahoma could be the exception). Just interesting to me...
Texas coaches depend on recruiting superior talent and they are very successful, player development and game planning is pretty much non-existent. The quality of the players has earned Texas the college team with the second most number of wins in college football. Poor to mediocre coaching has plagued the Longhorns for decades.
@@BookClubDisasterMiami beat Notre Dame the year before when Notre Dame was ranked #1 & the defending national champs. Miami got a 1st down on 3rd & 43 in that game. Ball game.
The game was won by the Miami coaching staff. Texas failed to make in-game or half time adjustments. Texas believed they could use the strategy used against Houston to win. It was incorrect because Miami had the nation's best O-line. Zone coverage, nickel and dime should have been used. The receivers were running wild Offensively, in two back sets, the counter, trap, blast and off tackle plays are the go to plays against an upfield rush like this. The shotgun also should have been used. The short and intermediate passes and the draw are the go to plays. All of this is to spread the defense out and take the sting out of an overaggressive upfield rush. The tools were there for Texas to be competitive; perhaps even win. Sadly, they didn't know how to use them. Yes, there was a talent differential. But, it wasn't as drastic as the game portrayed. The talent in coaching made the difference
you can tell by the refs voice every time Texas got flagged he was hurt but against Miami the refs were very happy to throw flags I even counted 5 that shouldn't of been thrown maybe Miami should just of said screw it and tackle the refs or throw the ball into their nuts ,maybe then the refs would call a fair game against miami
Tremendous defensive effort to keep the horns to an embarrassing 3 points (with some assistance from the horns offense lol) in front of a "national" audience. A good game nonetheless.
USC 1979 might have had something to say about that. As good as this team was, USC 1979 had more talent. It's hard to argue a team that had Marcus Allen and Charles White in the offensive back field. Up front Anthony Muñoz, Bruce Matthews. Defensively, Ronnie Lott was in that backfield. I would not have favored Miami's chances against that team.
Went to high school with Randall "Thrill" Hill here in Miami at Miami Killian C/O 1987...legend has it, he is still running through that tunnel 36 years later..😂
You see the final score as 46-3 the sad part was it could have been 70-3 without the penalties
II think the refs relaxed on the penalties. the game was over in the first half and even they couldn't make a difference..
It's the penalties that made the game even better, wish Miami would've committed more. That game was fun to watch.
That’s why we needed a tournament. The U was the best team in the country by bowl season
“Come back, Randall!”
😂😂

The game planning and lack of in game adjustments by Texas was disastrous. The talent was there to win. Sadly, it wasn't used correctly
Nostalgia! I remember watching this game on cbs.
This is bordering on child abuse!!! The best comment I've ever heard about a beat down.
He would have to issue a public apology for that today.

The knockout on the opening kickoff was great.
Two personal fouls for "dancing in the end zone" so Randal Hill runs into the tunnel to do his celebration dance and still gets flagged.
It really didn't matter. Texas didn't belong on the same field as Miami.
How can a team with over 200 yards in penalties including a personal foul for Miami walking onto the field still kick the other teams ass? Oh, that's Miami! Go Canes!
This was, without question, the worst beating any Canes team EVER put on a big time program.
The beat down of Notre Dame by the Jimmah led Canes… and the beat down of Syracuse in 2021 were serious wins.
Excessive celebration flags. 😂
I'm pretty sure I counted 15 men on the field for Miami... They were everywhere...
If there were 15 men on the field you know that ref would have called it. He called everything else!

College football is so much better when Miami is a powerhouse
Was better....

Imagine if Miami played a clean game with no penalties it would of been 100-0 at least
A disciplined UM could have had a run like UCLA under wooden......or at least Bama under Saban.
It wouldn't have been Miami. That's the best part was acting crazy!

Lol, it began much earlier than that!
Miami beat not only texas but also the blind refs
94 for Miami was the rock
The most disrespectful impartial referee of all time
You may wanna go watch the ESPN 30 for 30 on the U pt1 it explains why Miami got so many penalties in this game
Naw, he's just Southern and somnolent.
Sorry you can hear it in his calls. He was annoyed every time he had a call penalty on Texas.
Ive never seen a blatant bias like that clown had.
The epic Cotton Bowl beatdown the good ole days. That was Texas the JV team.

In 1988 and 1997 they was like 4-7, 1989 5-6. BYU was very good in 1998.
