yep. FSU miami and UF had fierce recruiting wars at the same high schools. most of the players were native floridians who had been competing with or vs each other in their respective high schools and prior to. they knew- or at least had known of- each other for years- thats why it was so important to them not to lose in this rivalry...
It's weird how FSU showed they were the better team and lost. And then they went and lost to Florida. Miami had teams in that era that didn't win the title that were better than their '91 team.
@@mrog5481 negative lol if youre the better team you have to be great in all 3 phases of the game, offense, defense, special teams, fsu was missing the latter hence why they couldnt get over the hump
@@mrog5481 your right. bowden admitted he would get tight and conservative in the big games- thats how he lost to the irish in 93. the canes were always loose. thats one of the things that made them so great- and so vilified...
If you are a miami hurricanes fan like me this is one of the best wins and favorite wins over fsu puts a smile on my face all the time and rip keith jackson great memories 1991.
This 1991 Miami Hurricanes team was a paper champion. One of the worst national championship teams of the modern era. They played no truly great teams in 1991, and got to play a mediocre Nebraska team in their home stadium for their bowl game. They would have gotten absolutely destroyed by Washington that year had they played. How do we know this? Because the very next year, most of this very same 1991 Miami team got bent over by Alabama in the Sugar Bowl, and that Alabama team was a poor man's version of the 1991 Washington Huskies, which were the real national champions of 1991.

The better QB Bryan Fortay was a sophomore in ‘91 and after getting the “life isn’t fair” lesson firsthand, transferred to Rutgers. Submit he would have won the Heisman in ‘93 had he stayed at Miami.
