Before the 1983 season, the Canes had never even sniffed the heights they were about to reach. They had two solid seasons under Howard Schnellenberger in 1980 and 1981, as he was in the process of rebuilding a program that had been stuck in mediocrity since their last successful season in 1966. This season, however, Miami had put together a 10-1 record, only losing their first game to Florida before rattling off 10 straight victories. It was already the best season in the history of the Miami program, and they had one more chance to make it even more special by winning a national championship (in front of their home crowd of course).
