M I A M I 2 3 NEBRASKA3 Canm im After a Notre Dame bowl victory, the Hurricanes crush Nebraslta 23-3 in the Orange Bowl to claim second in the polls On a sparkling January 2 eve- ning in 1984, the University of Miami battled the University of Nebraska in the golden anniver- sary edition of the Orange Bowl Classic in a game which mark- ed the turning point for Hurri- cane football. In what many have called the most exciting college football game ever played, Miami, led by a wild-throwing freshman quarterback named Bernie Ko- sar, beat an undefeated and top- ranked Cornhusker team that was favored by two tou- chdowns, 31-30, to win its first- ever national title. Exactly five years later, the Hurricanes and Huskers met again on the same date, same time, same channel, and the same field, but the situation was not nearly the same. Miami was now an estab- lished winner and a heavy favor- ite while Nebraska had played bridesmaid to Big Eight rival Oklahoma for the last four years. The biggest difference, how- ever, was in what the game actu- ally meant. In 1984, the game decided the national champion. In 1989, the game decided the runner-up. Only minutes after Notre Dame beat up on an over- matched and overhyped West Virginia team to win the year ' s title, the Hurricanes blitzed Nebraska with an incredible first-half performance which put them up 20-0 and allowed them to coast the rest of the evening to a dominating 23-3 victory.

Taylor, who came into the game with 13 rushing tou- chdowns and averaging 5.3 yards per carry, was limited to a mere 12 yards rushing on 17 attempts, completed only 8 of 21 passes for 55 yards. The Huskers managed only two first downs in the first half (both assisted by Hurricane penalties) and had only 29 yards of total offense against a relentless Miami defense.
