3rd and 43 Miami Hurricanes vs Notre Dame

[najewssilluh]

Lou Holtz retired right after this

[bullss21]

Announcer: "And he gets forty-four."

[Canedude08]

Gotta love the haters, praying that Miami gets the death penalty. Don't depend on the NCAA to do the job your weak programs couldn't do.

Sorry to disappoint you, but Miami will not get the death penalty. SMU ran a Slush fund, with the approval of the administration, our case is one of a rogue booster, who was expelled once it became evident that he was running a Ponzi scheme. But hey, anything to distract people from the nonsense going down in the SEC on a daily basis.

[enm97]

Here's hoping the NCAA has the guts to gives Miami the "Death Penalty."

[FireLightning16]

0:20 - 0:30

are the announcers having seizures?

[JordanDisciple45]

...How did it end up 3rd and 43?

[MrNoMercy12]

@JordanDisciple45 penalties. but just goes to show you we didnt care we played the refs and notre dame... And still won.

[melvinweed]

I would never forget this play!!!!!! Thrill Hill was the illest along with Lamar Thomas, Horace Copeland, Dale Dawkins, Kevin Williams and Darryl Spencer also known as the A.F.R.O.S,= Americas Finest Recievers On Saturdays!!!! This is diehard UM fan material!!!

[MrChunkwhite]

the greatest play in college football history.

If the pass had been better it would have been a touchdown.

[MrChunkwhite]

the greatest play in college football history.

[greymoose1000]

This says it all about ND. The Golden Domers. The Murderers of ND.

[IrishFan247]

@greymoose1000 sun bowl 2010: notre dame 33 miami 17

please get the hell of youtube with your useless comments. stop living in the past gaymoose

[graymoose1000]

@greymoose1000 YOU'RE RIGHT MY "TROJAN" BROTHER!!! And that also says it all about *ubarn (AL)! The Wire Road trailer rats. The murderers of cows and fuckers of sheep!

FIGHT ON, BABY!!

[TheFreshTrumpet]

@greymoose1000 OJ. Now that's a murderer.

[mmcgwire]

...was Lou Holtz eating grass?

[BillyBadAss53120]

ahhh 1998 a great year the canes.

[yankeesnz2]

MIAMI,A BUNCH OF THUGS,THAT NEVER TOOK REAL CLASSES IN COLLEGE!!!!!

[DaAmericanWanksta]

this is #oneofthosethingthathappenever­y20years

[udderprojectz]

I loved how Miami celebrated everything like they just won the Super Bowl

[hankseptember]

@udderprojectz this was bigger,actually

[udderprojectz]

@hankseptember not sure about that one

[celebrationsevents]

Classic never give up... U

[SunnBurn]

His officially reported 40 was 4.28. The word at the U was that Randal had been clocked as fast as 4.19...amazing.

Question: How many golden domers did it take to cover Randall Hill?

Answer: It didn't matter.

[daddyeyze]

@SunnBurn 4.23

[hankseptember]

@SunnBurn the answer is - dont put 7 in the box on 3rd/43

[losangelescardinals]

This looks a lot like the 08 Lions. RIP Detriot. Go Green Bay.

[SFGrp5]

I can't wait until the "Both of Our Teams Suck, so Let's Just Get Drunk!" bowl!

[nicekill104]

HaHa lol have Fun with that ND Has Won 17/24 times and it guna be 18/25 here soon =]

[bfuente1]

oh iwas there & remember this play in the 3rd quarter... we had possession of that ball for 11 CONSECUTIVE MINUTES. & capped it off with a td. only at the []__[] baby

[TheFreshTrumpet]

Get ready, canes...here come the irish!

[Pissankle]

@TheFreshTrumpet You might have the wrong video.

[TheFreshTrumpet]

@Pissankle I know we didn't win this one, just wanted to give them a heads up.

[JHtheKING1]

@TheFreshTrumpet Oooooh I'm sooo scared! LOL It's all about the U

[TheFreshTrumpet]

@JHtheKING1 Apparently you should be. Interesting how things work out.

BTW, good game.

[JHtheKING1]

@TheFreshTrumpet Haha I should have been! We really suck lol. Definitely need to get rid of our starting QB..

[TheFreshTrumpet]

@JHtheKING1 Harris in my opinion isn't that bad. He's just inconsistent. I'm glad his inconsistency worked in our favor.

[JHtheKING1]

@TheFreshTrumpet Haha yeah he does that a lot though. We led the NCAA in interceptions and he was most of it. Hopefully he can get better with some good coaching though.

[BARCACROSSESTHEALPS]

And how many players from this Miami squad received degrees? Hahahah! I'm not even sure The "U" is actually an institution of higher learning anymore. Is it? Can you actually get a diploma there?

[THEKYLEMAN2]

@BARCACROSSESTHEALPS actully its the 1 school in florida and in the top 25 in the nation learn ur facts

[BARCACROSSESTHEALPS]

@THEKYLEMAN2 Source please?

[THEKYLEMAN2]

@BARCACROSSESTHEALPS it was on the miami local news

[JHtheKING1]

@BARCACROSSESTHEALPS Can't remember but it's around 83%. Shannon made sure grades were a priority. Don't comment without any knowledge.

Overall, Miami is now the 47th best college in the U.S. and the #1 in Florida according to the annual U.S. News & World Report Rankings.

You sound retarded when you don't know sh**. We've gone up 20 spots in the last five years or so alone.

Just remember. GOD MADE NOTRE DAME #1. MIAMI MADE THEM #2. GO CANES!

[BARCACROSSESTHEALPS]

Congrats! #47, very impressive!

[tehvaonmas]

It's funny how Miami fans can talk shit because of one blown coverage by one of our defensive backs while Notre Dame still has more National championships and Heisman winners. I guess you guys are just a little bitter about the 31-30 Notre Dame win the year before? hahahahahahaha

[dwadejr904]

@tehvaonmas Yeah okay thats great but yall might not get another nc in like 30 years lol, nd hasnt won a title since the 80s, sry asses lol

[Canes305mia]

@dwadejr904 what are you talking about we won 2 national championships that weren't in the 80's; in 1991 and in 2001

[dwadejr904]

@Canes305mia I know that.. Im on ur side here, Im a canes fan....I was talking about notre dame lol

[m2diggs]

@tehvaonmas Don't brag about a victory that was handed to you by the officials.does the Cleveland Gary fumble ring a bell?

[tehvaonmas]

@m2diggs we weren't "handed" a national championship. We were a great team all the way into the early 90's. we deserved that championship because even if we had a call go our way, we still beat the shit out of everyone else. and we still have more national championships and heisman trophy winners. Nobody can deny that notre dame is one of the greatest football programs ever. even if our record doesn't show that right now

[m2diggs]

@tehvaonmas Whatever helps you sleep at night buddy.watch the play again and tell that wasn't a BS call.i'm not denying that Notre Dame team was great but Miami got screwed plain and simple.Catholics vs. Convicts...you're telling me there wasn't favoritism there?come on now.

[dwadejr904]

@tehvaonmas Yall have more championships because ND has been around ever since the early cavemen ..YOURE OLD AS SHIT lol, we won 5 in lest than 20 years

[tbonesays]

@m2diggs lol. Didn't alter field position. Miami got their score anyway and still lost.

[m2diggs]

@tbonesays So that negates that dreadful call?smh

Had the refs made the right call,Miami would have scored leaving more time on the clock for them to take the lead and win.nice try buddy,not!

[tbonesays]

@m2diggs would have, could have, might have. Heck Miami might have caught their last TD which looks a lot like a trap.

[m2diggs]

@tbonesays lol,so now your gonna go with the "would have,could have" excuse?you're hilarious man.

[italstallion06]

how did they end up in a 3rd n 43 situation? anyone know the answer?? i cant find it anywhere on the net

[des696969]

@italstallion06 wondering samething

[SeamusMoore1000]

@italstallion06 Miami Qb was sacked and fumbled, the ball was knocked backwards 30 yards in the scramble. Devon McDonald of ND tried to pick up the fumble and run it in, which was not allowed at that time. Probably the key play of the game because if McDonald had just fallen on the ball as opposed to attempting to pick it up, ND would have had a first and goal, trailing 17-10. Instead, Miami went to have an 8 minute drive (after the Hill catch) for a TD to make the score 24-10

[italstallion06]

@SeamusMoore1000 thanks for the explanation

[killarob06]

he left that defence behind, amazing

[wafwaf62]

This must have been one of those plays they pulled their players out of class to practice.

[d1thundergod]

@wafwaf62 ...what a hoe comment...

[Canedude08]

Hey, Baldwin..If you're going to make cracks about UMiami, at least know what you're talking about. We're top 10 in the nation in APR in regards to football programs, even back in the era documented in "The U", we were one of the few schools graduating over 70% of our players. However, continue to spout nonsense, it's entertaining.

[Obelisk2290]

Grass picker Holtz got owned, lucky UM didnt call a touchdown lol

[eKriZZLe]

Lou Holtz is such a douche bag.

[idster7]

watched this play live.

[awsome6540]

how the hell did Miami even get in this predicament lol ?

[qukarlz]

1989

[rwoods2k]

look at the end of the play, how randall hill pushes his own teammate away while runs back onto the field to get the praise from the crowd. What a tool. If you need evidence that Randall Hill is a tool, just watch the ESPN 30 for 30 about the canes, He still embraces all of BS antics that he did when he was a 19year old kid. Being 19 and doing and saying stupid is forgivable, being an adult and confirming your behavior 20 years later just makes him look like the idiot he is.

[harro123]

@rwoods2k

Don't hate :P

[cbaldwinjr]

@rwoods2k

He went to Miami...not exactly a bastion of student-athletes my man.

[MrFongsong]

@rwoods2k The kid caught an amazing pass against cover 4. I think he's allowed to celebrate. Theres no reason not to be proud of his antics he did 20 years ago, fuck his antics, along with the rest of the team got them a documentary. I say kudos to thrill hill then and kudos of thrill hill now, hes still got the swag

[leahsheray09]

the u was and still is the originators of hard nose championship college football

[Canesfest]

Well when your child molesting, garbage ass ND, what do you expect

[level3statedept]

ND was still hung over from their CHAMPIONSHIP run the year before......GO Irish!

[MarkTFrawley]

@level3statedept your right with kelly this year hopefully another!

[MiamiSouthPaw]

@level3statedept Notre Dame has been hung over for 22 years. They've won a grand total of one bowl game in the last 16 years. They're not hung over. They're just irrelevant.

[valorghost]

no fucking way

[GoBarnstormers]

that was a forty four yard play...if u cant defend that...then something is wrong

[caraway407]

i remember watching that like it was yesterday

[whpw]

That play represented the end of the Notre dame dynasty

[fmagalhaes1521]

@whpw come to think of it... you're comments were dead on right.

[UberKrispy]

This is why you never rush 3 guys

[figguhs]

Greatest 3rd down converasion ever. #allabouttheU

[qukarlz]

the best part is lou holtz trying to use his charm and nip at the grass as if that would stop miami from kicking notre dame's ass..

[BourgeoisBuffoon]

I watched this on TV in a hotel room in Columbia, SC, while on pass from Ft. Jackson. Big Miami fan at the time. I was talking to my dad. He heard me go crazy. Thank you so much for the flashback.

[RockSmithStudio]

Miami were national champions that year right?

[qukarlz]

ya they lost to the seminoles though

[getyoasshome]

first time the seminoles had beat us in like 9 years.

[qukarlz]

or 4 but ya if 9 makes you feel better that's cool too

[gumper]

Correct

[Lookitsalfred]

@RockSmithStudio Yeah

[R6highwayrunner]

good ole thrillhill. ;)

[GMRadio3]

Only THE U can do that. The Orange Bowl was a dump but there was no better place to watch football. I miss that place.

[AngryKiko]

I was at this game, looking at this from behind. THIS WAS AWESOME!!!

[rd062080]

At that time, it is possible that Randall Hill was the fastest man in the world. Notice that Erickson took very little time to deliver the ball. Thats how fast Hill was

[quincee33]

did Randall hill eve go pro?

[gumper]

@quincee33 yea he was a first round pick.

[quincee33]

he must have been a bust.

[getyoasshome]

hes an FBI agent in florida.

[billp896]

i am a die hard psu football fan like i mean die hard but miami had a damn good football team back in the late 80's early 90's

[quincee33]

my favourite team is PENN ST. and whoever is playing the HURRICANES!

[getyoasshome]

get over yourself lol

[ezfla]

Its all about THE U!

[fmagalhaes1521]

I remember this game... I was working that night and the bar in the restaurant where I was working had the game on. Miami football was magical back then.

[esteban0321]

Those days were amazing! But I think the Ken Dorsey Canes were in the same mold and tradition of the 80's and 90's Canes. They just weren't allowed to be as flamboyant but those teams were so stacked with play makers. I think if either Butch Davis had stayed or they would have gone with someone other than Larry Coker they may have maintained that dominance for even longer.

[tdrewman]

These where the days, I remember getting stuck at the mall and rushing home to see the game and when I turned on the TV, I saw the fumble then this play, we where screaming so loud the neighbors told me they heard us.

[Canesnumber1stunner]

Only the "[]_[]" lmao...

[iamduffman1]

my parents were at this game and they told me that if you screamed to the person next to you they still wouldnt hear you.

[199ALLSTAR]

I remember watching that game live. Man those were the Good times. We took them all on, FSU, NOTRE DAME, MICHIGAN... I love UM Football. Bernard Clark, Jesse Armstead, Sean Taylor, Andre Johnson.. Ray Lewis, Andre Reed..  Man I love the U.

[quincee33]

what was the final score of thisgame?

[HowardLive]

Miami 27, Notre Dame 10

[quincee33]

This is when The Irish started dropping in the rankings.

[IrishFan1585]

Some things never change........ND's secondary still sucks.....

[d1thundergod]

touchdown jesus is still weeping over this one!!they still have not recovered...

[aleon7844]

leave it to ND to let a man get behind them on 3 and 43

GO CANES

[hobbitcore]

@aleon7844 it's not Notre Dame's fault that not even God can cover Randall Hill

[HittStick1]

Hahah...what other school can convert on 3 and 43 against a zone cover 4?? Haha Go canes!!!

[deltapunk21]

@HittStick1 yall suck

[Fitch636]

ND SUCKS GO U

[cinevolver77]

Fuck Notre Dame! Notre Dame always took it on the chin! Canes rule! and U KNOW THIS south bend!

[canefan4lyfe]

What a game that was in 89'...Loudest football game i have ever been to...the Orange bowl was amazing that night...the stands were full 45 minutes prior to kick off and no one sat down the entire game...my ears were ringing for a week

[willinghamscaddy]

In 1988, Notre Dame actually should have won 31-24. The last TD by Miami's receiver was a drop. Look at the replay, the ball comes right out on the 4th down TD. The refs spotted Miami a TD and then came the great dramatics of Patrick Terrell. The man who smoked Miami earlier in the game, cleaned up the referees mess.

[vdogg43]

Is that the same game where they refs said Cleveland Gary fumbled before he crossed the goal line? It was clear on the replay that he crossed the goal before he fumbled. So if they blew both of those calls in the same game then it was a even trade.

[willinghamscaddy]

Yes it was the same game and I agree with you. I was responding to the Miami fans who call the ND win controversial when in fact the refs made up for the call. I completely agree with you vdogg43 it was an even trade.

[getyoasshome]

thats not a make up call....its clearly a TD for gary.

[SFFOOL76]

It was this play and the Bernard Clark (correct me) got a interception right at the half.

[tors10]

Wow.... it's so nice to watch a game where you don't have to listen to a bunch of agenda-driven redneck has-beens whining about "excessive" celebrations.

Back in the day when football was actually fun.

[BradJamesBroncofan]

As an Italian, I say when in Rome...I hate Notre Dame too. Randy Shannon's a good hire for the "U" and the Canes will be a national player once again.

[Canedude08]

ND, can't cover the pass then, still can't cover it! They won't even play us anymore, what a bunch of losers..

[rufracer]

ND defense: slow then, slow now.

[TexasSixShooter]

why was it 3rd and 43 in the first place?

[seanpatf]

wah wah wah maximont, Just because miami didn't convert the 2 pt. conversion. That was a great game played balls to the wall.

[hovde4]

it was not the two point conversion that was bs. it was the touchdown that for some reason a ref decided was a fumble. miami should not have had to convert a two point conversion. that should have been winning by a touchdown.

[MAXIMONT]

That should have been part of their 3rd straight championship. The 88 game was bullshit.

[bfuenz]

The 88 game was garbage!

[roberiepa]

If I sent this video to my ND fan friends, they'd probably never speak to me again. Maybe I'll do it. :)

[brianmmayhew]

This is great for two reasons: 1) I hate Lou Holtz; and 2) I hate Notre Dame.

[bfuenz]

I hate Notre Dame also. This is one of my favorite plays ever. Also, on that Saturday night we beat Notre Dame who was then ranked #1.  This was payback for being robbed up in South Bend. I hate Notre Dame!
