1990 #2 Miami Fl @ #6 Notre Dame No Huddle 

Along with George Rogers over Hugh Green and Jason White over Larry Fitzgerald, one of the biggest snubs in college football history

@@cityofchamps66 don't forget Paul Hornung over Jim Brown in 1956

Eric “Sleeping with” Bieniemy deserved it over both Ismail had only 6 touchdowns that year. 6!

​@@chrisuncleahmadWhat?? More fumbles than touchdowns and Bieniemy had a lot of touchdowns

Ty Detmer won that Heisman the first game of the season when BYU upset Miami

roids

Grown men

@@tybo_g37s Na'ah...larger pads. In the NFL and college, they wore larger pads. Game is faster across the board now, so the pads have gotten a lot smaller.

Just you

Facemasks too. You see a lot of offensive linemen wearing 2-bar these days, but in this game some of the running backs are wearing full cages

As was Culver’s on the first play and Rickie Watters’ later…so?

Is it me or did the Rocket 🚀ismail dropped that damn ball be for he crossed the goal line I said this 30 years ago!! I’ll say it today that was not a touchdown & im a Notre Damn fan but right is right & wrong is wrong….. smh 🤦🏾‍♂️

Don't forget about mr. Touchdown. Tim brown.

@@toddcannon918 Alan Page, Russell Browner and the Bus is up there too.

In my lifetime it would be Joe Montana. But The Rocket is right there also.

​@@allengreene9954And Rudy Reutigger

I agree. Most exciting in college. Robbed of the Heisman

I have the 2001 Fiesta. The others I can take off yt, except the 2003 cotton (unless I missed it somewhere).

@@steelbuck6777 you have any of the RG3 Heisman year? Been looking across yt but can’t seem to find much

If a frog had wings...

There only one problem, the canes done shit in the second half

If my Aunt had balls she would be my Uncle. Miami got beat down by the Irish.

But, ya didn't. And Jimmy has a small Johnson!! 😅 fuck Jimmy Johnson and Dennis Erikson! 2 of the biggest cheaters in NCAA history!

It truly had more to do with the shift from Independence to conferences. Notre Dame lost the Miami (Big East) and Penn State (Big Ten) rivalries due to scheduling conflicts far more than politics/posturing. Those two things simply make for a better story....

@@tuowl0564. Its a shame. Plus ND and Michigan and won’t play for another decade.

Yeah, punked out with a win.

The series wouldn’t mean much with the current state of Miami FB.

I've never seen another player like him.

“It’s over!”

Not his best day but he scrambled well and played just well enough to win.

Mirer was an odd choice for holtz. Didn’t really fit his offense.

I remember all the hype he had coming out of high school, they said he was gonna win 2 Heisman trophies

@@matthewcarey3148 Powlus too! His injury in 1993 allowed McDougal to assume the starter role without much competition. No way ND competes for the 1993 title/beats Florida State with Powlus at QB. He held them back in 1995 and 1996 too. The 1995 team was especially loaded with talent but the offense/team lacked that extra gear. Powlus did nothing against Northwestern and Ohio State (0 TDs combined, sub 250 yards passing in both games) that year. Krug probably as well or better against Florida State in the Orange Bowl than Powlus would have. That 1995 should have battled with Florida, Florida State, Colorado, Kansas State etc. for the right to play Nebraska for the title.

@@lorenzoyoung698 That was Powlus. Beano Cooke famously said that. He doubled down after his first game against Northwestern in 1994 iirc.
