You could have had 5 TEs and 5RBs and we weren’t blocking that defensive front 7. Our offensive line was awful all year. Coach E won 2 NCs and almost a third if Costa makes a play against a loaded Nebraska team. You want to talk about bad gameplannig the 86 NC was the worst. Jimmy lost with superior talent all over the field. Alabama had too much up front in 92, nothing to do with game plan.

No. Just no. Even had we beaten Nebraska, we do NOT win a share of the title. We needed a win plus a Penn State loss to get the title. Penn State won and finished 12-0. Not one pollster would have voted for an 11-1 Miami team over as 12-0 PSU team. No chance.

Thats not what happened...JJ wanted to run....But Vinny was imploring him to keep throwing....JJ consented....but till this day says it was his worst FB blunder ever....Same thing happened with Dolphins...JJ wanted to run...Marino didn't....Marino even went so far to Audible JJs run calls....

You would as well if you had the RBs Miami had when JJ was here. JJ was wrong in trying to make the Dolphins a power running team without a great line or a half decent HB. He should have used the pass to open the run, and he wouldn't do it.

True. Should have said we had a chance to steal one and that was not NC squad. Coach E never got enough credit here

I'm a "coward" just watching that.

As an aside, hard to miss Don Solly's bald lightbulb head in the front row..

He was an offensive Guru to a point...his Offensive gameplan against Bama in 93 was retardation 101....You run a 1 back to no back offense against 2 AA DLmen in Copeland and Curry??....with a turnstile OL to boot??...Torreta was a sitting Duck...LoL at 170lb Conley pass protecting... (if not spread out wide by snap)...

True, but I'm not sure there was a game plan for that Miami team to beat that Alabama team.
