I was there too Springfield & Mountaineer Field will never be as loud as it was that day for as long as the stadium still stands. This squad wasn't WVU's best team but they had balls & kept finding ways to win. 11-0. Then the Sugar Bowl disaster. But on the way knocked off Miami, a solid Virginia Tech, BC was one of the best teams in the nation, Syracuse still mattered. Season full of close games. I was a freshman back then.
awesome!
The decleating that took place at 22:08 was insane!
Musberger throwing it to the late John Saunders for a game break update @ 15:19. RIP John.
RIMFP !!
RIMFP....acronym for...? Lol.
Rest in motha fucking peace
um....ok....got it. Lol.
Damn I was there, that was the an EPIC GAME!!!
I second that my friend! ...I was there as well and it was EPIC! I’m so glad I watched the entire game again. I had forgotten how much of a defensive battle it was.
I’m a very loyal Mountaineer fan and have been for 50+ years but some of y’all are disillusioned. You have to beat the team they put in front of you no matter which team it is. You don’t get to pick what you think is a better matchup. If you want to expect a championship then you have to beat whoever they match you up with which brings up another point. As much as I love Don Nehlen and what he has done for West Virginia football he just didn’t prepare his teams well during the long breaks for bowl games. We lost several Bowl games to teams less talented than ours. Let’s Gooo Mountaineers!!!
Bo up at ichigan was the same way !
@@braddvaughn6076 funny Don worked for Bo as well
But this year Florida was not less talented as west Virginia dude. So ur delusional
West Virginia originally was invited to play in the Cotton Bowl against the SWC Champion Texas AM, but they turned it down to get a bigger paycheck to play in the Sugar Bowl against the SEC Champion Florida. West Virginia Head Coach Don Nehlen admitted that was a terrible mistake. West Virginia would had a much better chance to compete against a much more slower physical team like Texas AM on grass than against an athletic speed burner team like Florida on artificial turf.
It has nothing to do with a paycheck. We had a team meeting and voted on it. We figured if they wouldn’t let us play for a National Championship we might as well go to New Orleans and have a good time.
WVU needs to bring back these basic uniforms. Why they ever went away from these is beyond me. These were classics, the stripes on the pants need to come back. I hate the constantly changing uniforms every couple of years, like it’s a fashion show.
You notice the truly elite national brand programs never change there uniforms !
They got away from them because times change! And kids nowadays gotta look good!
@@zacharyrome3432literally every team in the country has some something to their uniforms
Probably the most overachieving team WVU has ever had , had many teams with far more talent that won less games !
FEWER games
This is like the New England Patriot, West Virginia team
The time when teams played good defense!!!!
The Iron Bowl wasn't televised on ABC. It was closed-circuited Television in Tuscaloosa in 1993
Do you have the 1984 Bluebonnet Bowl between West Virginia and TCU or the 1997 Champs Sports Bowl between Georgia Tech and West Virginia?

I was at this game and it was pretty wild there.
We shit the bed in the Florida game, but still a good year.
I’m still angry they gutted the end zone
me too.
22:10 Tim Brown absolutely blows up the Miami player, my favorite moment of the whole game.
WVU would have beaten either Nebrasky or FSU. They ended up getting the worst matchup possible. WVU completely got screwed out of a chance to play for a National Championship in 93.
Can you please explain why they would have beaten FSU or Nebraska? What made that a better matchup than Florida?
Cameron Rice what??? you couldn't beat UF in the sugar bowl but you were gonna beat FSU or NU In the orange bowl in Miami? shut up. you didn't get screwed you got what you got and got SMOKED!!!
WVU easily overrachived in 93 based on overall talent while 1998 team was probably he most underachieving in WVU history !
Cameron Rice Ha ha that is crazy you barely beat Florida in the sugar bowl that year and yet you think you can beat Ward and the Noles? Have you watched there games from that season? Same with Nebraska.
I've always said that David Gordon's field goal against Notre Dame should have sent West Virginia to the Orange Bowl, not FSU.
Both of these teams got murdered in the bowl games. Arizona-Miami 29-0. Florida-WVU 41-3.
If West Virginia becomes a member of the ACC can you imagine Clemson & Florida State making a trip to Morgantown West Virginia to play this team late October
Ryan Collins mom was my teacher at Hialeah Miami Lakes high school (HML)
The real 1993 national champions
Unfortunately, the Gators were your daddy that year. Just imagine what Nebraska would have done to you, LOL.
ScoobTube we would’ve stomped the farmers they were overrated that year and lost
@@johnwaffleh2p70 Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't that same Nebraska team beat the Jesus out of West Virginia in the first game of the very next season? I seem to remember the game being over before halftime. If you couldn't even compete with that Nebraska team in 1994, what makes you think you could have beat them in 1993? You do realize it took Florida State's best team ever to beat them, right? And only by two points while playing in their own home state. No way West Virginia keeps it within three touchdowns.
ScoobTube 1993 WVU good defense 1994 lost all players the farmers had the best team ever in 1994 they killed us we could not of beaten them in 1994 we would’ve crushed FSU though
The real 1993 national champions
Miami had some of the most arrogant teams I've ever seen
LOVE THE BIG EAST!!!!!
This Team had Total Team Chemistry
Who's Donnie?
He said WVU gets the rejects from good schools 😮
Is that Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson at 2:20:22?
Ha, just saw this myself
Definitely
Typical bias announcers cheer leading for Miami and not giving the WVU defense any credit!! This happens during every WVU game!!!
The announcers are always for the other team. Even if the game is a home game for WVU!!
Believing that WVU was screwed out of a chance to play for the NC in 93 is one thing, but stating that WVU would've beaten Nebraska or FSU that year is a pipe dream.
Those were the days when Mountaineer Field was filled to the brim with fans. Sure hasn't been like that under Holgs at all. Good bye
Mountaineer Field has lost a lot of that personality. I think a lot of reasons go into it...……..the common fan has been largely priced out, a decreasing population, in stadium fans now composed more of corporate ticket buyers vs. the common guy, HDTV keeps a lot of people home now, a mediocre product on the field for quite a few years, the disappearance of the traditional rivals of VT, PITT and yes, even Miami, the prohibition of banners in the stadium, teams and style of play that do not reflect the hard nosed physical style of football that we used to see back in those days, etc.
