The peak of Miami’s swagger might have come in a season where Miami didn’t even claim a national title (until now, bahahahah).
The 1990 Miami Hurricanes were arguably one of the most talented teams in school history to not win a championship. Led by Craig Erickson, Stephen McGuire, Leonard Conley, Leon Searcy, Randall Hill, and Lamar Thomas, the 1990 Hurricanes followed up a national championship season (in which Miami averaged an insane 454 yards per game) with another impressive performance. After dropping a season-opening shocker against Ty Detmer and the BYU Cougars in Provo, the Canes would fail to reach 30 points only once the rest of the season.
