Many Canes fans will say the Miami/Oklahoma rivalry of the 80’s is right up there with those versus FSU, Florida and Notre Dame and they would be correct. However, most fans talk about the UM/OU game of 1986 in the Orange Bowl that helped solidify, Vinny Testeverde’s Heisman Trophy win that year. Often overlooked is the game from the prior year on Oct. 19, 1985, at Owen Field that played a pivotal role in marking Miami’s legacy as “team of the 80’s.” The Canes went to Norman, OK on that day un-ranked with a 4-1 record against then number three Oklahoma.
