1993 Sugar Bowl - Alabama Crimson Tide (#2) vs Miami Huricanes (#1) 

I think we all have stories like this. That's why we are here. RTR brotha!

Cherish that wonderful memory. Roll Tide forever!!!

Same here I watched this with my dad. He passed away with cancer years later but. When Alabama stomped Miami. Dad was like a little kid again. Good memories for shure,,,

@@duaneholcomb8408 we gonna stomp y’all in Atlanta on September 4th. It’s all about the U🙌🏾

@@Hollywood-vu7cf yea I don't care if you do we gave Miami an ass wup,n. That day. And I'm glad my dad got to see it. What ever else happens. Don't really matter. Between coach Stallings. Bear Bryant. And saban. Every body else is playing catch up. Ans we might pull another one out before nick. Retires,, from bama,,,

No doubt!

I'm a Canes fan and remember watching that play. I knew the game was over after that. Even if Alabama was offsides on the play, it was demoralizing.

Such is 'Bama!

that guy lost several spots in the draft after Teague ran him down, he was supposed to have elite speed and faster than anyone, LOL

Teague said that he blew coverage on the play and he was afraid what an angry Coach Stallings would do so he turned on the afterburners and ran Thomas down.

Teague later admitted he was out of position on that play and he knew if he didn't do something he was going to be in big trouble later, so he said he ran the fastest he's ever ran to make up for it 😂

+Sharon Hall True. And it launched the SEC into a power conference.

Sharon Hall fuck lee corso

They exposed Gino and he was never heard from again after that night. lol

@sboudreaux27 He did. He even brought up the highschool thing and said now they looked good. Typical for Corso.

late keith jackson to brent musberger booyou

Because Gene told them keep their mouth shut and try to ignore them but I couldn't of did it cause I couldn't stand their cocky butts.

I laughed my ASS off at the dude running down "I'm the typical EVERYTHING in MY life, and opinion..", and literally just..YANKIN that ball out, with a, "Not 2 nite, you ain't!!" It's hilarious!!!

Then you weren't a REAL Miss State fan...

@jeffdarnell7942 I was sir. People can always change their minds. When I was in Mississippi, I definitely wasn't an Alabama fan.

I remember watching this game with dad & his friends! The whole house shook when Teague stripped the ball from Thomas.. after that play it took all the wind out of that hurricane! It was such a great time!! 🤗🤪🤪🤪🤗

+filodipicori Ya, I can't think of anything to top it.

The play at 1:38:30 might have been better.

Thank you I was looking for it the whole time

Alabama did not play Miami in 1991. Do your research next time.

Had it counted it would have gone down as the greatest play in college football history.

I was 20 old now

16 for me and remember it well .. RTR !

Amen!

Nor, the Rose Bowl!

When did he pass away??

@@jeffdarnell7942 he passed away in 2018

@@docpj72 Thank you. I'd been up Fugitive Recovering all night. Just googled, but thanks anyway..

He was rumbling.

Since he stop calling college football games,college football was never the same

Yep i miss Keith Jackson RIP

i LOVED listening to keith jackson growing up and also at the time of this game i was 3 years old but ive watched it SO MANY TIMES!!!!!!! ROLL TIDE!!!!!!! watching this game NEVER gets old

Keith Jackson was simply the best. R.I.P., Keith. We love you and miss you.

I agree that it was the turning point, even though it was negated.

They still had to make a play or else Miami would've taken the result of the play.

Teague had a pick six early in the third quarter which was also very impressive.

No doubt about it to me. I do believe Lamar had been talking smack about how no player for Alabama could catch him. Teague hawked him down, with ease it seemed, and how fluidly he took the ball. WOW! STILL GET CHILLS! Will always be my favorite play that never was!!!! ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!

@@DanielSong39 ZACKLY 👍 Prevented a TD on essentially a free play.

Roll Tide

It was Lee Corso

Sad RIP glad yall had that memory

Memories like that are what make this game so important. It's not always about who wins or loses, but who you watch it with and the good times (or bad) you have together. RTR

They were also way too cocky before playing Penn St. in 87' Fiesta Bowl. That and all the turnovers are why they lost that one. Idk if Miami was actually the better team in this game (probably not), but they DEFINITELY were better than Penn St.

I heard Vinny threw the game to save his dad from gambling debts

I understand the fan excuses but Alabama was just the better team bad ass D

Buy the way Roll Tide

Don’t get me wrong Miami was good just 2nd best

Ahcz zhzs shsyvsjsyscsshgsfzcshsysgsgsvsvs sbsbvsvah

Stop it. They were 8 point dogs.

Just payback from beating them the year before

Miami was an 8.5 point favorite

@@gingobellz4800 people will say anything

@@gingobellz4800 WRONG.

Fresh Sox Derrick Lassic was a BEAST! Truly underrated

And he was a good rb for dallas as well

One of my favorite RBs too.

He won a Super bowl with the Dallas Cowboys the next year and what are you talking about

DON'T TALK ABOUT FOOTBALL

Hey Charlie think that the goal line stand was 1979

Thats Right 1979 Roll TIDE Roll

He just played against the best defense they ever faced.

He just went up against the best ever defence in history any body else would have got a ass wuping ,

If Gino had any conscious he would mail that Heisman to it's rightful winner Marshal Falk.... One of the great Heisman travesties... East Coast and Deep South voters just couldn't believe the best player in America played for San Diego St. History and the NFL showed the truth.

@@VegasUte well if that's the case emit Smith should have gotten one too look what he did in the pro's,,,

@@duaneholcomb8408 I think you're being too simplstic I am not saying that "the best Pro should have won the Heisman." As great a pro as he became, Emmitt Smith never was the best player in College during his 3 years... Finished 9th in Heisman voting as a FR (Tim Brown*), wasn't in top 10 as So (Barry Sanders), and 7th as JR (Andre Ware). Smith skipped in Sr year (Ty Detmer won in '90). Smith never lead the nation in rushing, not close really... in '93 Marshal Faulk lead the nation in Rushing and passed the eyeall test, while Torretta wasn't even the best QB his year (Drew Bledsoe) and the eyeball test clearly said Gino was a "good" QB on a loaded team.... Faulk's RB stats were much better than Torretta's QB stats. Many Voters just thought Faulk was the beneficiary of "weak competition" .. I point out Faulk's HOF NFL career to show how wrong it was to make that assuption. There is a reason Gino Torretta makes almost every list of "10 least deserving Heisman Winners" ... Finally * you could make a case that Thurman Thomas was more deserving than Tim Brown in '87 (had better numbers than FR Smith as well), but Brown was an NFL HOFer so you can't knock his talent. Brown benefited from Notre Dame name like Torretta benefited from Miami name and Faulk was punished for San Diego St's low profile. Have a great day.

BCMGunfighters1972 didn't we win it in 2002... Wtf you talking about

BCMGunfighters1972 Wtf are you talking about dumb ass. Miami was slowed down because of probation a few years later because of the Pell grant scandal. This win by Alabama had nothing to do with it.

BCMGunfighters1972 I remember being a senior in high school telling everyone I thought Bama would win. In my opinion, this is the best Alabama team ever.

Cam23 Yep that year we had the best college roster of all time period.

Miami came back, they had their best season ever in 2001. Another lull after that but they looked good in 2017.

It looks like we're the only one's here that remember the game before these animals changed it forevermore (1984)

Maximus Wolfe s

I know this is 4 years too late BUT, here you were rightfully busting Miami's balls over their style of play....correctly calling it poor sportsmanship....and then you took the low road and did a Miami, by declaring the Referee should have been punched lol. Hopefully you decided which side of sportsmanship you were going to stand on since then.

@@chvzrvnn nah....you aren't the only 2 old enough to remember.

I would have to disagree. Most consider the 92 defense the best of all time in college football. Curry and Copeland had 10 sacks each. And the 92 defense usually had very little help from their offense. No team ever depended on a defense more than the 92 bama squad, and no defense ever delivered so much as the bama 92 squad.

Well, it was my opinion and I do not begrudge your choice.

2012 was a great D for bama, but the offense was a hell of a lot better too. And I know this has nothing to do with the post, but I think McCarron should have been the #1 qb picked in the 2014 draft. He won 2 natl titles, played against the top teams in the biggest games and only lost 3 games. He set all kinds of passing records at bama. But I guess he wasn't flashy enough for the owners to pick him higher. There is no way in hell Bridgewater is better than AJ. Teddy did not play against elite competition in college. I just had to get that out of my system.

The '92 Defense never gave up 300 plus yards rushing to any team, but the 2011 Defense did. Georgia Southern run the wishbone Offense and racked up over 350 yards rushing. The '92 Defense faced 2 teams that run the wishbone Offense and shut their running game down.

Alabama held a lot of players out of the Georgia Southern game. Specifically Josh Chapman was held out, the NT.

Corky Simpson. Legendary.

Tennessee in 1986, but maybe you meant national title games

The Huskers whipped them on both o &d on the line in 94. Huskers going to the Miami like 4-3 was the beginng of their dynasty.95 Huskers beat people without mercy and sent many a opposition players to the sideline out of the game or a trip to the hospital.Isaw Spurrior at a Gamecock Club meeting a few years ago and he still says the 95 Huskers was the best team he had seen in all his years in college ball.

Jeremy Forczyk For Miami, that Sugar Bowl WAS a (potential) national title game. Oklahoma beat #1 Penn State, and Miami was #2. If Miami had won, they would have had an identical record to Oklahoma, but they had beaten the Sooners soundly in Norman earlier in the season. They were higher ranked AND had won the head to head match-up. So, with everything to play for, they went out and... got beat like they stole something by the Vols, lol.

frzzlfry66 Ok, to be honest with you I'm not old enough to know that, but I'm a huge football fan, so I knew they beat OU and that OU won the title that year, but I didn't make the connection between them being No.2 and a shot at the title. I guess that's what happens when you grow up in the BCS era

frzzlfry66 And of course the 30 for 30 documentaries on Miami skipped the Bama and Tennessee losses, because those losses were too decisive to make any excuses. The only losses they talked about were Penn St. in the Fiesta Bowl and Notre Dame in 1988, because those losses were close enough for them to make excuses. That show acted like Miami was unbeatable

Actually it was probation that ended the Miami Dynasty.

Charlie Foxtrot I respectfully disagree...Miami was never the same after this game. That aura of invincibility was done after this game, particularly after Teague stripped Thomas in the 3rd quarter. Probation did not come until 1995.

Tim Marsh Really Tim? Cause I distinctly remember the Canes dominating the early years of the 21st Century and flooding the NFL with draft picks. The 2001 Canes had more future pro-bowlers on their two deep than any team in NCAA History.

Charlie Foxtrot From 1993-1999 Miami never came close to playing for a National Championship. They nearly derailed Nebraska in 1994, which was probably their best team during that stretch. 2000-2003, yes Miami had a run that resembled their dominance, but only one National Championship in that stretch. I would not call that a dynasty any more than I would call Gene Stallings' 4-year stretch (1991-94) a dynasty, even though Bama won 45 games and a National Championship. Yes, Miami's run 1983-1992 was a dynasty. They were dominant. The games they lost came with teams playing well above their head, and making unbelievable plays. However, it ended that night, with that game, particularly Teague's incredible play. The dominance was over and teams were no longer afraid of Miami. Ironically enough, that game was missing from ESPN's 30 for 30 series on the Miami dynasty.

Tim Marsh Probation ended OU's run in the late 80's as it did Miami's run in the mid 90's. USC's run ended in the latter part of the first decade of this century thanks to sanctions and the mere allegations of wrongdoing have hampered Miami's recruiting up until now. Hell---SMU has never recovered from NCAA probation. You simply cannot go on probation and expect to flourish.

Anthony Broaddus I know there the only losses they talked about were the Penn State and Notre Dame losses, cause those games were close. They tried to act like whenever Miami lost in those days it was a fluke, but there was no way they could say this one was a fluke, so they just skipped over it

Jeremy Forczyk​ Yeah, they act like they just dominated the Irish. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact once Lou got HIS recruits to South Bend, he was 2-1 against the Canes. They also didn't mention getting mandhandled by Tennessee in 85. The Canes got treated the way pedophiles get treated in prison in that game. Just brutal. But yeah they want to brag about beating an overrated Texas team? Whooptee doo..... Even funnier/sadder is how most of the guys you see in that documentary are also seen in another 30 for 30 called "Broke"......or getting busted for not paying for hookers and choking their girlfriends.....or being accomplices to murders. To be fair, I like the Rock and Ed Reed.

Anthony Broaddus Yea the Tennessee game in '85 was a fascinating one, it basically was a national title shot for Miami, cause they went into it at #2, and they got destroyed. That game seems to have been forgotten by history. Don't get me wrong, I do think Miami had some great teams those years, but I don't see why 30 for 30 couldn't tell the full story, they had to act like the team was just invincible.

Jeremy Forczyk My point exactly. You would think by watching that 30 for 30 was that the only games they ever lost from 1983-1993 were to Penn State, Notre Dame (only once), and BYU. I agree. I'm an Irish fan, but I give Miami credit where credit is due. They were the team of the 80s, but they talked like they were the 85 Bears every year. None of those 80s or 90s teams were all time greats in my opinion (the 87 team would have been if not for Testevarde having a stinker of a game). He was atrocious that game. The 2001 team is definitely one of the all time greats though. Then the next year they lose to a very average OSU team that they should have run off the field by halftime.

I don’t see another program ever coming close to the level of dominance Bama’s had since 2008. Outside of 2010 they have been in the National Championship conversation every year entering the Iron Bowl. Nine National Championship appearances in a 14 year period is insane. I’ve been an Alabama fan since 1979. At some point, this run will come to an end. In the interim. I’m riding this wave of success as long at it lasts.

This game was a beat down plain and simple.
