Great game remember it being played in a torrential rain storm.
You have no idea how many times Jimmy called runs when Vinny changed the call at the line for a pass, including on that last interception.I could believe your theory, but PSU would have still covered if Vinnie threw a TD instead of that last pick.
In any case, JJ should have run the dam thing in and taken it completely out of Vinnie's hands in the end.
If you watch that game it will **** off any Canes fan. We absolutely Dominated that game....by a wide margin.....if people didnt know the team, they would of thought it was purposely fixed.Still scratching my head over that one. 9/10 times we would have beaten them by a lot.
I sure do and it ****es me off how it's never shown as one of the best comebacks.There's another very very special road victory , not nearly in the class of this cotton bowl beating but it's a classic in it's own right.
Canes vs Michigan on the road losing with minutes left Canes scored (2) TD's and I think Carlos Huerta FG , what was the absolute best at halftime the coach BO was interviewed saying " THIS IS MICHIGAN FOOTBALL AT IT BEST" pointing to recruits all this B-4 a CAT.5 PLUS hit 20 minutes later LMAO.
You guys remember EPIC road WIN ?
Michigan never returned the favor of coming to the OB after that loss.......

Mike Franscesa still hasn't recovered from that game. Never before nor since have you heard an announcer traumatized by the Hurricanes like that.For me, definitely the Cotton Bowl game against Texas, Thrill Hill’s antics, the massive amount of penalties we racked up that game, and the PF’s called when we were knocking the snot out of their QB. Loved ever second of it.
No he just had a ****** game. Wasn't his first or his last. You think the mob got to Toretta in the 93 Sugar Bowl? Dorsey in the Fiesta? It happens.I still say the Mob got to Vinny or his family... out gained them 400 some yards to like 126... some of those picks there were no white jerseys in the area.... thats how obvious it looked
Vinny had another ****** game in 86 sugar vs vols that cost us a NC ,**** he layed 2 bad eggsNo he just had a ****** game. Wasn't his first or his last. You think the mob got to Toretta in the 93 Sugar Bowl? Dorsey in the Fiesta? It happens.
Im originally from NY and I fvckin hate that sorry Dbag Franscesa....so overrated it isnt even funny.Mike Franscesa still hasn't recovered from that game. Never before nor since have you heard an announcer traumatized by the Hurricanes like that.
We upset the status quo. We were good and weren't afraid to kick your *** and let you know. It's funny our old attitude is really pretty common now, but back in the day, like Holy said, we were supposed to stay in our lane.
The hate I still get from people never ceases to amaze me, we're still the "cheaters", "thugs", "criminals" etc..
I am gonna go with Canes showing up in Army fatigues at the 1987 Fiesta Bowl vs Penn State....
There's First Lieutenant Testaverde and Corporal Highsmith....Vinny threw 5 INTs....Canes lost and the fatigue stuff caused a ton of blow back on a national scale...
Too bad. That 1986 Canes team was one of the best college football teams ever....

This. It's all rooted in this.The whole thing stemmed from the fact that kids of a different color and athletic ability from the inner city was turning CFB on its ear and the blue bloods like Nebraska,Oklahoma and Norte Dumb had no way to beat them and the fact they did it with a bravado they couldn’t stand added to the hate......simple as that.
I just rewatched that game the other day. I had forgotten how awful our rushing was. We won that game on defense and through the air.'91 Cotton Bowl. We took our participation trophy and shoved it up Texas' ***.
Russell Maryland had his best game that day.

But it was like there was never any doubt that we'd win. The confidence was palpable.
