After more than 20 years of pain, tears, and bad calls, Miami Hurricanes fans can finally crack a smile. The Hurricanes are back in the National Championship for the first time since 2002.
It’s been 25 years since Miami last won a national title, but after years of struggling, it finally feels like the Hurricanes are almost there. So far this season, the Hurricanes have taken down six — yes, six — ranked teams. Miami is 6-0 against ranked opponents, beating Ole Miss, Notre Dame, Ohio State, USF, Texas A&M, and Pittsburgh.
This year, as a No. 10 seed in the College Football Playoff, Miami has its eyes set on ending the title drought. But first, they’ll have to get past the top-ranked Indiana Hoosiers tomorrow in Miami Gardens.
This marks the ninth time in school history the Hurricanes have reached the national championship. Here’s a look at how the ‘Canes have fared in past title games:
1983 vs. Nebraska — W 31–30
1986 vs. Penn State — L 10–14
1987 vs. Oklahoma — W 20–14
