Typically during bowl season, teams travel all over the country to face-off against opponents for post-season glory. However, this bowl season sees the Miami Hurricanes in a familiar position and the Canes won’t have to stray too far to potentially hoist a bowl trophy this year.
That’s right, the Hurricanes are staying home to defend their own turf, competing in the Orange Bowl for the first time since the 2003 season when Brock Berlin and the Canes toppled Florida State at Pro Player Stadium, 16-14. UM has actually won two National Titles playing in the Orange Bowl (1987, 1991) and is 6-3 all-time in one of the most famous post-season games played annually.
