Remember the hype about BOZ? He looked liked a kindergartener in that game - the announcers were baffled at how dominant Miami was....

The Boz actually had a good game. I believe he had like 20 tackles or close to it.
 
They shut down our run game and we had like 100yds in penalties but Vinnie was on point that game and we beat that ***.
 
Seriously tho. Is it me or college kids today look NOTHING like the grown men we had back in the 80s. I mean there’s a few on the squad who could fit in any era ....specifically Shaq, Pinckney, Gwillis, Nesta...etc.

There is a noticeable absence of **** staches these days, that’s for sure. And there’s also been more emphasis on taking care of your skin from a young age.
 
I remember I missed going to that **** game because I had to take the SAT, my parents and brother went. Being the conscientious student that I was, I rushed through the test so that I could get home to watch it on TV.

What's funny is that people get so wrapped up in stats they forget that we didn't whip all those teams (at least on the scoreboard). Sometimes we couldn't run or our QB threw a bunch of INTs, what mattered was that we got it done.

Great teams--even the greatest--had games where everyone just came out flat and let a middling team take them to the final whistle. What separates those teams from the pretty good ones is the ability to overcome such games, and it is why I constantly remind people, lest they forget, how Rosier has performed when the game is on the line. We played in plenty of close games, many against opponents who had no business hanging with us, while Brad Kaaya was here, and we lost every one of those. If the game wasn't over by the end of the third, we lost.

Yeah, even those teams had their down games. I specifically remember a game in the OB, what was it, '86 or '87, they let it get way too close against East Carolina.

Im still nursing a ulcer from that East Carolina game!! Heck our Penn State Bowl game loss is another example, superior talented teams do have bad games and even in the years of pure domination we played down to some of the competition. East Carolina is a great example of that.
