This is an excerpt from the 3rd quarter of the 1986 college football game between the number 1 ranked Oklahoma Sooners and the number 2 ranked Miami Hurricanes.
ESPN ranked the 1995 Nebraska team as the best team since 1980 with the 2001 Hurricanes coming in at number two. However, in terms of pure talent, it's not close. The 2001 UM team had 17 future 1st round NFL draft choices, names like Ed Reed, Andre Johnson, Frank Gore, Clinton Portis, Santana Moss, Johnathan Vilma, Sean Taylor, etc. The 1986 UM team had its share of future NFL stars but not as many as the 2001 version.
Bosworth claimed (in a lame book he wrote) that some of the Miami players were "coked" up during this game. He claimed that he could see it in their eyes, and that Tastaverde knew and expressed that he didn't like it.
