Miami Hurricanes Games We Love: 1988 Orange Bowl

In this edition of Miami Hurricanes Games We Love, we have the 1988 Orange Bowl between the #2 Miami Hurricanes and the #1 Oklahoma Sooners. I want to give you a little background before we get into the actual game itself. In 1985, Oklahoma went 11-1 won its sixth National Championship with their only loss being a 27-14 loss in Norman at the hands of Miami. Then Miami was their only loss again in 1986 when the Canes beat them 28-16 at the Orange Bowl. Now, it is the end of the 1987-88 season and Miami is looking to beat Barry Switzer and the Oklahoma Sooners for a third straight year with a National Championship on the line.
