That pregame fracas in the endzone was the reason ND eventually created a separate visitor's locker room entrance

commercials make you miss the 80s

Greatest regular season college football game in history. GO CANES !!!

Pac 10 was strong this year. Washington beating Oklahoma, and UCLA beating Miami

A real back & forth battle. Between 2 talented teams. Miami was sloppy at times during this game.

more like Pedophiles v Convicts... am i right??? asking for a friend... fax!!!

I miss when Florida State, Miami, and Nebraska were great. It just felt right.

always will be remembered for the one bad call (among several) that handed a cheap victory to Notre Dame. ND had no business stepping on the field with a team as talented as Miami at the time.

I was at this game as a USC fan. I remember that throughout the game Oklahoma would have 3rd and long (5 to 35 yards). And each time Oklahoma would make a first down. The USC defense would celebrate stopping OU after every first and second down play. But on third down Oklahoma would pick up the first down. I hated that SC kept celebrating because OU was blasting through them when it counted. I thought OU was the better team. But then Switzer did something odd. On the OU drive before this SC TD, OU had fourth and inches in their own territory, but it was inches, inches! I thought, OU would go for the first because they were picking up first downs with ease. But Switzer punted. 🤷 I've always blamed Switzer for not trusting his powerful offense, rather than thinking that SC outplayed OU.

Kevin Williams was a track star

Alydar covered more track( feet) in those epic races with Affirmed & to only lose by a head.

The after effects of this game changed the whole football landscape Lou holzt would win his only championship,jimmy Johnson go on and build the greatest cowboys dynasty and Miami would go on and have its best four year run 89-92 in in school history winning two national championships we would get introduced to a guy named Randle the trill hill the next year the the u swagger would hit it’s all time high

If there are animatronics inside I would stay away sir.

Lou Holtz tipping the scales at 89 pounds.

Affirmed had issues. Jockey seat flew off

Great game or the greatest game? Go Irish!

Poor ride on Affirmed, giving Slew a solo lead with a 24 first quarter.

Simmons saved the day, breaking up that interception. OU never brought any pressure on the drive. Soft.

Not to say the outcome would have been different, but why didn’t Affirmed’s jockey push him early? Letting a horse of Seattle Slew’s caliber set a slow pace with a 4 length lead is suicidal.

3rd down shift to center and down the ball for a 4th down straight shot fg. Smh

That 45-yard FG by Huerta to cut it to 16-10 was the forgotten moment in the game. Back in those days, even a lot of NFL kickers couldn't make kicks from that distance off a grass field (Norwood was one of many). He misses that and it's probably game over, especially after Miami went backwards on the three previous plays. Florida State would have had all the momentum.

A few hours later Kirk Gibson came off the bench and took Dennis Eckersley downtown and won Game 1 for the Dodgers

All things being equal, a 4 year old beats a 3 year old in a weight-for-age race (e.g. Affirmed the next year against Spectacular Bid). Having said that, I believe Slew was the better horse, and a true all-timer.

Affirmed Likes to Dictate up Front and This is What Happens When a Better Horse With More Speed Enters The Same Race

One year before the University of Miami became The U on the field.

Miami had a terrible defense that year.

It took about 20+ years until fsu had a field goal kick go there way, "the Block at the rock".

As a FSU freshman at that game, it was so heartbreaking but what a game. Miss CFB like this

Da lease contract 2035 DolphindI hope build orange bowl 2

I miss orange bowl dat stadium was loud road QB

I was ,17 yrs old highschool said would hoston wen school next I told win

Too bad the quality is so crappy. Slew was the greater horse by far.

Those murders were over 45 years ago: the building has been vacant all this time ? They should tear it down already. Hope the killer(s) will be at least identified someday. Are investigators still working this case ?

Testaverde was HORRIFIC.

No special intro music for such a big game.

We can appreciate Slew's accomplishment without hating on Affirmed. Affirmed was a triple crown winner and he deserves respect. To me, its very similar to American Pharoah and Justify.

Weird to think JJ was 0-3 in Miami bowl games at one time. More than compensated afterwards.

Any idea where to find more of Needles (1956 Ky. Derby winner) on the field at halftime?

They know who did it, he died back in the80s. They found the murder weapon and proved it was the gun.

College football was better in the 90s ❤

"The clock ticks into history." & "That was a game." R.I.P. Keith Jackson. College football has never been the same.

Regular season games in college football will never be this massive again with the new playoff format. This was it back then. A titanic defensive battle. This 1991 FSU team was one of the best that didn't win the title. Both teams were absolutely loaded with star players. The "Golden Age" of Florida football.

I remember that I use to go in there after mowing grass for money

Michael Irvin's voice was way different back then.

1:53:13 Dumbest statement I ever heard wbout QBs.

How in the World was Walsh considered better than Tony Rice??????????

Catholics vs Convicts made me think this was a Catholic intersquad game.

Miami was Bowden's kryptonite! At least three years the one loss to Miami, which was always close, or a wide right, would be the one thing which prevented FSU from winning the National Championship!

First " Fumble" by Walsh was a forward pass called a fumble. The 2nd was called an incomplete pass but was a fumble lol

145.4 . last 3eights 33.3 holy smokes
