I remember watching this game and thinking, "This is the fastest team I've ever seen." They made Nebraska look like they had no business being there (they didn't) but they showed it was a clear mismatch.
Hands down the best team ever in college football. Look at their roster: Andre Johnson, Sean Taylor, Kellen Winslow II, Antrel Rolle,Jonathan Vilma, Jeremy Shockey, Jerome McDougle, Vince Wilfork, Willis McGahee, Ed Reed, Clinton Portis, Frank Gore
Husker fan hear. I don't wanna argue what team was better this team or the '95 Nebraska team. All I can say is that this game could have been a lot worse. I think Miami could have scored another 3 TD's. Class-act by Miami.
Andre Johnson, Clinton Portis, Willis Mcgahee, Ed Reed, Jeremy Shockey, Kellen Winslow, Bryant Mckinnie, Vernon Carey, DJ Williams, Johnathon Vilma, Vince Wilfork, Phillip Buchanon, oh and Frank Gore Sean Taylor and Antrell Rolle were on this team as well just true freshman and didn't see playing time.
The game was over before it started we all knew it...should’ve been a 3 peat got robbed the year before in 2000 and a horrible PI call in 2002...🐐 team of all time not even a debate
you just dont see college teams with this much NFL talent, not only the starters but the backups were also future pro bowlers. sean taylor, willis mcgahee, kelllen winslow Frank Gore along with at least 3 hall of famer's in Andre Johnson, Vince Wilfork and ed reed
It's not hard to argue the 01 Canes as the greatest. You might add that the 00 squad was just as good. A lot of the 01 Canes were 2nd string. Either way Miami should've and could've easily hung 70 on Nebraska. They were robbed in 00 and 02. Miami should've been a 3peat Nation Champ cementing them as a dynasty
Honestly, As a FSU fan, Miami is the only team in college football I wanna see get good again kinda how FSU is now. I think they'll get back up there in no time. The history of the program has I've always respected that. It'll be dope seeing FSU/Miami in the top 3 or top 5 squaring off.
Zabrain Adams maybe overreaction, but top 5 for sure. So many moment in the rivalry that just takes your breathe away. I rather see Miami-FSU on rivalry then UF-FSU. That just my opinion. This is coming from a VT fan.
For all those people saying that the '95 Huskers would beat the '01 'Canes...just no...no they wouldn't. Did the '95 Huskers have 17 first rounders on the team? No. Did the '95 Huskers play back to back weeks against top 15 opponents in which they won 59-0 and then 65-7? No. Were the '95 Huskers ahead by 34 points at halftime of the national championship? No. And even if you say that the '95 Huskers were more dominant consistently throughout the year which you can make a case for just remember that if they played this 'Canes team head to head they would have to deal with an enormous talent disparity which I do not believe they could overcome.
Yet the 95 Huskers dealt with teams that had great defenses that season. And for the record, every opponent that Nebraska played that season that was ranked, Kansas State, Colorado, Kansas, and Florida all finished in the Top 10. The only team that was in the top 10 for this Miami team was Nebraska. Sorry but if 95 Nebraska played this team, they would have their hands full. Coker only won the title with someone else’s recruits. Osborne would out scheme, Coach Coker.
The huskers blew out Kansas State, Colorado, Kansas, and Florida who were all ranked in the top ten. Miami nearly lost a game to Virginia Tech, while the closest someone ever got to Nebraska was 14 points. You are drinking paint thinner.
I will never understand how Nebraska got in this game after what happened against Colorado. Oregon vs Miami would have been a much better game and a true national championship. Nebraska didnt win their own division let alone their own Conference. Oregon won the Pac-10 and should have been there. PTL we dont have the bogus BCS system anymore.
No one would have challenged Miami on a neutral site in warm weather that year. Now if we played on the road in snow, we could have lost, but Miami would have KILLED Oregon, Colorado, or LSU. This team was the most loaded team in history (e.g. 43 players drafted, 17 first round picks, and 47 pro bowlers) and we were so HUNGRY.
Drew Maglio I dont disagree with that, but it is still an honor to play in that game. It is not an argument over who would have won And seeing what Colorado did to Nebraska PROVED Nebraska was not one of the best two teams in college football. CU had more of an argument to be there even with 2 losses because they won their conference and division. Two things the huskers could not say. I just dont understand how 1 loss team who did not win their conference got to go to the national championship over a 1 loss team who won their conference.
Boy, I tell you. Is all you need to hear when it comes to the canes! Been a fan since the late 70's will be a fan until death comes knocking on my door and says it time to go now!
As far as I'm concerned, this is the best college football team I've ever seen in my lifetime as a football fan (probably started watching football in '91, at 7 years old). I was personally at this game and I simply couldn't believe how Miami just dominated. Granted, Nebraska shouldn't have been in this game in the first place (Oregon should have), but Miami would have rolled over Joey Harrington and Co. just the same.
Still, it's interesting to see Miami beat nearly every powerful rival they ever had during their glory years in this one season. Florida State, Penn State, Nebraska, Syracuse, etc.
I’m a LSU fan and I don’t know if we woulda played close with Miami they would score at least 45 on us our defense was not there yet like in 2003. Our offense was decent but would get shut down by this Miami defense Saban was still just building LSU into a powerhouse and still getting his recruits in so I don’t think in 2001 we was ready at all for this game it woulda been embarrassing if we played Miami
GENERALSPARTAN27 how good was Illinois in 2001? I was 2 years old in 2001 but I still don’t think we could compete with Miami but we only beat Illinois by 13 points I mean our defense was not there that year but the 2019 LSU squad could definitely best this Miami team
Everybody can argue about the 95 Huskers being the best among other teams. LOOK AT THE ROSTER THAT ALL THE GREAT TEAMS HAD AND NOTHING COMES CLOSE THE THE 2001 U TEAM SORRY.
thndrct218 yeah but that slow ass developing option, even with Tommie Frazier and Lawrence Phillips and Ajman Green wouldn’t be able to handle the speed of Miami’s defense.
Oregon might have given Miami a much better game, but I think just about everyone agrees that Miami was well deserving to be crowned champion this season. I'm not a Miami fan, but I will give respect where it's due.
You almost felt sorry for Nebraska in this game. They were not only going up against what was basically an NFL team, but three potential NFL Hall of Famers (Johnson, Wilfork, Reed)
I was listening to a Radio show about 2 years back and Joey Harrington was on it and they talked about this hurricanes team. He was the QB at a VERY good Oregon team that year. You know this 'Canes team was good when the former Ducks QB when asked if they could of beaten the 'Canes team replied with anything can happen on any day, but if we played this 'Canes team 10 times. they probably would of won 9 of them.
hands down the 01 canes WERE the best team in collage football. did anyone see the hard hits by vilma. That team wood have won a NFL superbowl it was that good.
+Paul Robinson N, you're ridiculous! Miami didn't just send 17 first rounder in 3 years, they also sent QUALITY players!! That team could have beaten any team in the NFL!! How many teams (NFL) do you know of that starts 17 first rounders? That's right, there isn't!! Miami players are NFL ready when they go to the pro's!! So, why don't you tell me why that's a stupid statement?? Don't forget the second and third round picks either! Miami puts out more NFL ballers in such a short time that all the scouts try to stay there! That's the only place for them to go!!
Oregon and Colorado were both more deserving of playing in this game. Neither of them would have won but they would have put up a better fight than Nebraska did.
I just love when seeing a starter on offense or defense plays special team, example at 4:40 with Andre Johnson. Those players would do anything to get on the field and get some action!
Thanks bro for bringing back the memories of what the U is truly about. Don't even bring up today's Alabama team in the presence of '01 UM team. Who the hell is gonna cover Andre Johnson and Shockey? Who gonna stop Portis? Kellen Winslow is on special team!! No quarterback or RB will survive against that sick D. Grown men amongst boys on the field.
@Kooly1 As an Auburn fan, I agree. 2010 Auburn team was really good but the 2001 Miami team was unstoppable. One of the greatest teams ever in college football.
One thing about Nebraska, they were never made to come from behind, to win. And talk about a team that loves to beat teams 100-0 I'm sure there were a lot of fans that were happy Miami exposed them!
The team speed from this Hurricanes team was absolutely ridiculous!! Couple that with all the future NFL HOFers on the team. Best college football team of all time. This is coming from an LSU fan also.
This was a strange season. A lot of teams were in line for the NC against Miami. In fact Nebraska was originally in line to play them, lost big late in the season then sat back and watched every team ahead of them lose to put them right back there again! It's almost like no one wanted to play Miami, can't imagine why.
2001 was a weak year for College ball...Miami had one of the most talented teams ever, but even playing a weak schedule (#22)...They almost lost two...They underperformed or had bad coaching. 2001 Nebraska wouldn't even crack their own top 10.
greatest team ever!!!!.,.n this is coming from a texas fan.,.these boys was ILL!!!.,.some people say the 2005 texas team that upset usc was great w/ vince young but they werent even close to this miami squad.,.this team is by far the greatest team ever!
best collage team EVER!!!! look at the talent that didn't ever start. the great sean taylor. greatest safety ever . none since as dominant. ha ha dix? joke
+I lee, don't overlook that team from 1986!! Man, was that a great team!! But we choked on it, big time! I actually cried after that loss, and couldn't watch any sports for months after that game! That 86 team and Big Jerome Brown, ask me again and I'll knock you down!! He was a major player! I loved that guy!! JB RIP
Ha Ha Clinton Dix is a damn good safety but he is no Sean Taylor. In current football, I do believe that the only guy that could come close to being as good would be Landon Collins.
I don't care how good Alabama is today the canes set the pace as the best college football team in History period! Alabama just a reincarnation of the Canes.
They polled the college football analysts and experts a few years ago, and the only team of the last quarter century majority voted to beat the 04 Trojans was the 01 canes.
could you imagine if we had Twitter when this game was happening??? I’m a FLORIDA GATORS fan but i promise this is the 00-02 CANES are the GREATEST collection of talent ever seen with 01 as the GREATEST College Football Team ever assembled. Vilma’s hit on 85 Red🤦🏾♂️🙈🙈
+Fabian Rippe they never remember the '91 team, maybe it was the '89 team that whipped Bama to give us a another NC!! It's like that never even comes up with those people! We all know one thing, Nick Saban is a bitch! GO CANES!!!
Paul Miller, that's a pretty ignorant comment, some of the greatest coaches in CFB History have coached at Miami! Howard Schnellenberger , had he stayed at Miami, would have had 15 more NC's, same with JJ , another 15 NC's! Dennis Erickson had 2 and was only there for 4-5 years! Saban doesn't walk on water, plus he has no personality whatsoever!! You must only be 16, based on a statement like that!
Danny Canes it was 89 miami that beat alabama and it was no big deal because that was not a very good alabama team. the 1992 miami team were very good and such arrogant assholes that they thought all they had to do was show up and they'd kill alabama. and yet you manage no offensive touchdowns and were defeated something like 33 to 13 AND alabama WAS one dimensional LOL we just ran on you all fucking night hahaha anyway enjoy being irrelevant as that's all you've been the past 16 years LOL
Wow Nebraska played about 10 min of bad foot ball and Miami scored 34 Miami played about 10 mins of bad foot ball and Nebraska scored 10 Miami defense was something serious.
hopefully MR can bring this back to the U, this might just be the place where he can trive U never no at Georgia he probably just couldn't get over the hump like Nick saban was at Michigan state when he went to lsu it all changed
Ge C when saban was at Michigan state he had to compete with Michigan for in state talent. At that time Michigan was a very good team and had tradition. At LSU he didn’t have to compete with another big name school in state so he had all those recruits to himself. Just had to keep them home and for the most part he did. And it didn’t take long for it to pay dividends.
THE CROWNING GLORY. The 01 Canes stand alone on history's summit. They are in the George Washington position on the Mount Rushmore of great teams. It is unlikely, that any team, will ever be this good again.
I'm a Gator fan but I gotta give it up, this team is undoubtedly one of if not the greatest team in college football history. I mean this team was fucking LOADED; Ken Dorsey, Andre Johnson, Clinton Portis on offense and Jonathan Vilma, Vince Wolfork, Ed Reed on defense.. pure domination.
I think when people say 95 Nebraska they mean they were the best of that time, most dominate team. Just like 2001 Miami. Obviously in a game Miami would win no doubt
Keith Jackson, the greatest college football broadcaster of all time, will be missed. No one covered Miami Hurricanes games better than him.
“MI-AMI”
Absolutely
Seriously I have never seen a team in college with more nfl talent and power ever greatest single season team ever
No doubt! Dude your future All American tight end is on special teams and Vince Wolfork is a freshman! Nuff said
This team was unbelievable and fun to watch!! What a season that was, standout season in cane history.

No doubt, in my mind. The 2001 Miami Hurricanes were the Best Team in College Football History.
bodhar2000 robbed of one of the greatest games of all time Oregon vs Miami
To think Sean Taylor was relegated to special teams says everything you need to know about how good that team was
2019 LSU > 2001 Miami
4:40 Andre Johnson, Antrel Rolle, Phillip Buchanon, Ed Reed, Sean Taylor, etc. on kickoff coverage. Proof this was the best team ever.
Kellen Winslow too
And crouch was the heisman what a joke our whole team was heisman trophy candidates
Husker fan hear. I don't wanna argue what team was better this team or the '95 Nebraska team. All I can say is that this game could have been a lot worse. I think Miami could have scored another 3 TD's. Class-act by Miami.
Tony ....Nebraska had no business at all being on the same field with Miami they should have never even been invited what a joke
"When I watch this game, it looks like we're in fast forward, and looks like they're in rewind. That's exactly what it looks like"
For sure lol
Andre Johnson, Clinton Portis, Willis Mcgahee, Ed Reed, Jeremy Shockey, Kellen Winslow, Bryant Mckinnie, Vernon Carey, DJ Williams, Johnathon Vilma, Vince Wilfork, Phillip Buchanon, oh and Frank Gore Sean Taylor and Antrell Rolle were on this team as well just true freshman and didn't see playing time.

I remember watching this game from start to finish! Pure total intensity!!
28-0 with 10 minutes to go in the second quarter good lord
Would've called Vilma for targeting in today's soft game @12:40..Perfect clean football tackle
What are you talking about? He wouldn't be called for that, it was in the pads.
The hits by Vilma were then "Picture Perfect". Now he'd get fined 50k in the NFL.
Utter DOMINANCE! This team was truly special, the best in College Football.
The best team that has ever taken the field in cfb

+I lee, don't overlook that team from 1986!! Man, was that a great team!! But we choked on it, big time! I actually cried after that loss, and couldn't watch any sports for months after that game! That 86 team and Big Jerome Brown, ask me again and I'll knock you down!! He was a major player! I loved that guy!! JB RIP
Ha Ha Clinton Dix is a damn good safety but he is no Sean Taylor. In current football, I do believe that the only guy that could come close to being as good would be Landon Collins.
What "Collage" did you go to? lol
I don't care how good Alabama is today the canes set the pace as the best college football team in History period! Alabama just a reincarnation of the Canes.
Miami was so fast. NFL team if there EVER was one in college.
Andre Johnson was the best player on the field on this night.
Kellen Winslow on special teams... That tells you all you need to know on how good and how ridiculously deep that team was...
They polled the college football analysts and experts a few years ago, and the only team of the last quarter century majority voted to beat the 04 Trojans was the 01 canes.
you know that team was stacked when you see players like Kevin winslow and mcgahee on second string... damnn...
you know your beast when your backups are all pros
could you imagine if we had Twitter when this game was happening??? I’m a FLORIDA GATORS fan but i promise this is the 00-02 CANES are the GREATEST collection of talent ever seen with 01 as the GREATEST College Football Team ever assembled. Vilma’s hit on 85 Red🤦🏾♂️🙈🙈
Don’t think I’ve ever seen a RB hit the whole like CP
This team here would destroy nick Saban's best Alabama team. This is the greatest college team ever no debate
Beautiful game…
this team would cream 2015 Alabama and the rest of the SEC
+Fabian Rippe they never remember the '91 team, maybe it was the '89 team that whipped Bama to give us a another NC!! It's like that never even comes up with those people! We all know one thing, Nick Saban is a bitch!
GO CANES!!!
Paul Miller, that's a pretty ignorant comment, some of the greatest coaches in CFB History have coached at Miami! Howard Schnellenberger , had he stayed at Miami, would have had 15 more NC's, same with JJ , another 15 NC's! Dennis Erickson had 2 and was only there for 4-5 years! Saban doesn't walk on water, plus he has no personality whatsoever!! You must only be 16, based on a statement like that!
without a doubt
Danny Canes it was 89 miami that beat alabama and it was no big deal because that was not a very good alabama team. the 1992 miami team were very good and such arrogant assholes that they thought all they had to do was show up and they'd kill alabama. and yet you manage no offensive touchdowns and were defeated something like 33 to 13 AND alabama WAS one dimensional LOL we just ran on you all fucking night hahaha anyway enjoy being irrelevant as that's all you've been the past 16 years LOL
2016 Alabama would beat this team
Nebraska football was never the same after this game
5:48 Ken Dorsey is the Real Slim Shady
Remember this game so sad
This team is still better than 2019 LSU and 2020 Alabama. 2001 Miami is still the single best team.
Not even a chance. The 1995 Nebraska Cornhuskers are the best team of all time. Nobody compares to that team.
Wow Nebraska played about 10 min of bad foot ball and Miami scored 34 Miami played about 10 mins of bad foot ball and Nebraska scored 10 Miami defense was something serious.
hopefully MR can bring this back to the U, this might just be the place where he can trive U never no at Georgia he probably just couldn't get over the hump like Nick saban was at Michigan state when he went to lsu it all changed
Ge C when saban was at Michigan state he had to compete with Michigan for in state talent. At that time Michigan was a very good team and had tradition. At LSU he didn’t have to compete with another big name school in state so he had all those recruits to himself. Just had to keep them home and for the most part he did. And it didn’t take long for it to pay dividends.
Geeeeezzz!!!!! Vilma was a beast!!
Total ass whippin,,Greatest College Team of all tyme!
THE CROWNING GLORY.
The 01 Canes stand alone on history's summit.
They are in the George Washington position on the Mount Rushmore of great teams.
It is unlikely, that any team, will ever be this good again.
I’ll never forget that golf ball reference after that Vilma hit.
And back to receive the kick, two NFL hall of famers.
I wish Johnson wouldn't have wasted his career in Houston.
Keith Jackson called the 2002 Rose Bowl national championship game and did not take it seriously. May Keith Jackson rest in peace.
@KR3Wnumbauno may i ask what team do u root for
That Miami defense was a buzzsaw.
I'm a Gator fan but I gotta give it up, this team is undoubtedly one of if not the greatest team in college football history. I mean this team was fucking LOADED; Ken Dorsey, Andre Johnson, Clinton Portis on offense and Jonathan Vilma, Vince Wolfork, Ed Reed on defense.. pure domination.
I would have loved to see this team crush (any) Alabama.
The Only Names I kept On Hearing Andre Johnson and Jeremy Shockey
The best
Back when it was truly Swagger U
I think when people say 95 Nebraska they mean they were the best of that time, most dominate team. Just like 2001 Miami. Obviously in a game Miami would win no doubt
