some corrections that have been pointed out - 1. 12:50 Notre Dame played West Virginia, not Florida State (honestly have no clue where I got florida state from) 2. While technically not a correction, throughout the video I refer to the year certain bowl games were played instead of the season the bowls were for, which in hindsight is kind of confusing. Going forwards I'll mainly stick to the season instead.
@@empireonyt15you… you don’t really have 500 cranked out already do you?… you’re about to take off as THE cfb RU-vid channel if so. This shit has been bangin
Insightful documentary about the historic Canes - Sooners rivalry. The best part is seeing how these teams experimented with variations on play formations because they studied their opponent, learning and adapting their their tells, exploitables.
Our little league football team used that Nebraska formation. I played HBack and would carry the football on jet sweeps. Or get the football thrown to me on deep throws.🏈🙂👌
What is minimized now but a big deal then: it wasn’t obvious that Nebraska should change its defense. The offense was browning out against Miami and at times FSU. Key was: even good passing offenses stalled against the Canes. But a great D that could rush the passer could stifle Miami’s O.
Content is truly some of the best on YT. But I would recommend you get your audio sorted, music is way louder than your mic and then the broadcast audio is too quiet. Good luck, can't wait to watch the next one.
As a lifelong huskers fan if we didn’t have to play them in Miami, we’d have like six or seven national championships that wasn’t fair making us play them on their home field. It wasn’t a fair game if they had to come to Lincoln in January, even Osborne said that one time if they had to play us in Lincoln in January, it would’ve been a different story
love the channel, it’d be really sick if you did some college basketball content but i understand if you aren’t as passionate in it. keep up the great work
I'd like to thank the 1997 Huskers for showing my Volunteers the type of physicality and toughness required to win a title. The lesson was learned and applied in 1998.
For Nebraska to win even one of those Orange Bowls, when in actuality those were night home games for Miami, was quite a feat. No one else got that kind of advantage in the modern era. UCLA in the Rose ? A few times but never for the title. Arizona State 1996, was at the Rose Bowl, if they were treated like Miami, the game would have moved and been the Fiesta Bowl for the title. If there's another program that got to play HOME games, major bowl games, at night, for titles , like Miami in '83, '87, '91 , I sure can't recall any. The funny thing is, Jan of 1985 through Jan of 1994 , bowl games against UCLA, Tennessee, Penn State, Alabama, Arizona........make the Hurricanes leave home and play at a neutral-site for a bowl game like everyone else does, and what happened 😂😂😂 (one exception, the 33-25 or whatever against bama in Jan of 90, but the other 5 they lost ! And in 3 of those games they got absolutely destroyed. I find it interesting that it is rarely discussed that Miami was overrated. 4 rings, okay, but they were gifted 3, no one else gets a home game. And the vote after beating a not great 89 bama team. ? What they did was not so impressive. Im not a fan of Duke basketball, but imagine how many more titles Mike K would have won if for 40 years, every year the Final Four was at Cameron Indoor Stadium
Arizona State played in the rose bowl in 96 because the pac 10 champion was locked in to play the big 10 champ in the rose bowl. Miami didn’t chose to play in the orange bowl the conferences had contracted agreement with the bowl games.
I don’t think you emphasize just how great that 83 Nebraska team was and still is considered if they win that game they’re right up there with 95 Nebraska and 71 Nebraska is the greatest college football teams ever they would’ve been on that ESPN list than the top five had they won that game that’s how great they was. Miami was a huge. I mean huge underdog in this game even at homeI think they were 14 to 16 point underdogs Nebraska was that big of a favor and I hate Miami as I look back on them. I respect them, but God I wish we hadn’t had to hadn’t had to play them there and we would have even more national championships, but Nebraska was a juggernaut that season if we played Miami 10 more times that year we would’ve beaten them probably seven of 10.
RIP Brook Berringer, QB for the 94 team and backup for the 93 and 95 teams. He passed away in ‘96 in a plane crash 2 days before he was set to be drafted in the NFL.
Nebraska never beat FSU in the 90s , they did win 3 nattys in the 90s but FSU won 2 best Nebraska for 1 and finished in the top 4 every year of the 90s now that dominance
Not only one of the greatest, but also one of the most contrasting bowl rivalries ever: the power and grit of Nebraska vs the speed and swagger of Miami.
@@insanemob8508They’re probably talking about the perceptions of both teams rather than what they actually were, as the commenter above me noted that both teams possessed power and speed. But, Nebraska back then and likely still to this day gives off tough, workman qualities (power?) opposed to the swagger and fun loving nature of Miami
crazy how you’ve just come out of nowhere to be the best cfb youtuber already - you’re doing a great job with all of these, and i can’t wait to see what’s next
2:34 The greatest coach in Nebraska Football history. Memorial Stadium's field was even named after him. His name can also be seen on the sideline in red
My Dad still isn’t over the 1983 Orange Bowl loss to Miami, but man there’s not a wheelbarrow big enough to hold TO’s balls when he decided to go for 2.
This channel needs more hype. Nobody’s doing this. Not espn not big ten network not fox not sec network… CFB history is impossible to find in the mainstream
As a lifelong huskers fan if we didn’t have to play them in Miami, we’d have like six or seven national championships that wasn’t fair making us play them on their home field.

Hey @Empire can you please list the Playlist of Vaporwave songs you included? I love this genre and recognize some songs in my personal playlist. But im other's would like to discover these great tracks too, especially the rare ones 😅❤
I've lived most of my life in Knoxville, so I'm a life long Vols fan. In the autumn of 97 i lived in Wisconsin for the entire season so i only got to see 1 game. The game against Nebraska. Talk about embarrassing 😂😂😂. But it's cool though because 98 was my freshman year at UT, so i got to be there for the undefeated national championship year.
Using the bowl year (January 1 1995) and not the teams actual season (the fall prior in 1994) is the only complaint I have. This was greatness to watch.
I hope someday both these programs will rise from the ashes and once again tackle each other more often in the years to come. Im almost 20 now and I've never seen both teams be any elite good(Being Hurricane fan) 2017 was the closest season that I've seen to greatness. At least I was there to see Miami beat Nebraska in 2015
In that '89 game, Johnson calls a timeout and talks to the defense on one of the final drives. He did not want to give up even a touchdown against Tom Osborne's team. Jimmy needed some get back from his Big 8 days at OSU
My father was a lifelong Hurricanes fan, told me about how before the 1983 orange bowl he made a bet with a classmate that Miami would win. That Nebraska team had been so dominant the other guy gave him a 10 point spread, so he'd have won either way that the 2pt conversion went. He was still glad the Canes won though. Same way with a tie, winning on the spread wouldn't have felt very good at all. Side note nothing but respect for Osborne going for 2, cause who the hell wants a tie?
These college football videos are amazing for a clueless Brit with a keen interest in American sport and the culture behind it. Fantastic music choice too.
I really enjoy the way you break down the different formations and what they are designed to do. Seeing the X’s and O’s on a chart and seeing the formation in real life is great as well.
I really like the way you narrated this out BUT it amazing to me is NOBODY seems to talk about miami s LOSSES OH everybody else lost but B S. Penn St ALABAMA BOSTON COLLEGE WASHINGTON ETC. TELL THE WHOLE COMPLETE.
Lost in the drama of Osborne's decision to go for 2 in the '84 Orange Bowl was his strategic blunder in not going for 2 after the TD that pulled Nebraska to within 31-24. If you make it THERE, it's 31-25 and the next TD & XP wins the National Championship. But if you DON'T make it there, it's 31-23 and you can still go for 2 again after the TD scored by Jeff Smith in the final minute. Make THAT 2-pt conversion, and Nebraska gets an "honorable tie" and wins the National Championship. Osborne gave himself 1 chance to make a 2-pt conversion to win the National Championship. But he _could have_ had TWO chances to make that 2-pt conversion to win the NC. A strategic blunder no matter how you look at it.
Georgia Tech and Colorado shared the national championship in 1990 also Miami Hurricanes won the National Championship in 1991. Nebraska Cornhuskers defense when from 5-2 to a 3-4 in 1993.
11:20 doesn't make any sense. You say the Miami 4-3 is most advantageous when there is a dominant O line that makes it difficult yo force mistakes. How would a defense work better when the offensive line is dominant?
Howard Schnellenberger heading to the pros a minute after bringing Miami's its first national title would be capricious enough, but to the USFL? That ranks as the most foolish career move ever.
Dig a little deeper into the '84 Orange Bowl and you'll find the REAL story behind that game. At least one Nebraska starter was paid a lot of money to throw that game. Re-watch the game, and it won't be difficult to see who it was.
@@empireonyt15 LMAO, can for the early part, the framing of the video is “LSU, the dynasty that never happened”, basically every time the tigers seemed to have the ability to build a dynasty or repeat, something always went wrong
As a lifelong Husker fan, I have some memories of some frustrating, heartbreaking losses on New Year's Day...and a precious few victories! Always remember...Real men go for 2!
For future videos like this one... Can you plz use the year of the season that the game was played in instead of the calendar year of which the game occured?? Makes it much easier to follow during the video and look up information about the games after the fact. Thanks. Otherwise great work.
