Miami Hurricanes Football History
The Miami Hurricanes are a college football powerhouse with five national championships, nine conference titles and over 40 bowl game appearances, including six high-profile Orange Bowl wins. Founded in 1926, the Miami Hurricanes were independent for much of their existence until the team joined the Big East in 1991. Since 2004, Miami has been a part of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Hurricanes rosters have featured future Pro Football Hall of Famers such as quarterback Jim Kelly, wide receivers Michael Irvin and Andre Johnson, center Jim Otto, safety Ed Reed, linebacker Ray Lewis and defensive tackles Warren Sapp and Cortez Kennedy. Miami has also fielded two Heisman Trophy winners, quarterbacks Vinny Testaverde in 1986 and Gino Torretta in 1992. Several of Miami's most winning head coaches, including Jimmy Johnson and Dennis Erickson, went on to coach in the NFL.
The Hurricanes have played in several of college football's greatest games. On New Year's Day 1984, Miami cemented its first of five national championships by defeating the heavily favored Nebraska Cornhuskers in the Orange Bowl. The team secured their second national title in 1987 with an undefeated season that culminated in the Hurricanes dominating the Oklahoma Sooners in the Orange Bowl. In November 1991, Miami won the “Wide Right I” game against Florida State after the Seminoles' kicker missed a game-winning field goal and advanced to the Orange Bowl, where they shut out the Cornhuskers.
The Hurricanes have in-state rivalries with the University of Florida Gators and Florida State Seminoles as well as heated intra-division opposition from Virginia Tech. The feud between Miami and Florida State, which dates back to 1951, has been particularly fierce since the ’80s, as the two teams have taken turns spoiling each other's championship aspirations. During seasons when all three Florida teams play against one another, the squad with the most wins takes home the Florida Cup.

I, as any fan should, have faith in my team. I went to the Miami Hurricanes first home game to show support, scream my lungs out on each and every play and in return we left with another victory. What? And people were saying we'd be luck to start the season 2-2. Only God can stop a Hurricane! Go CANES!!!!!!!!!!!!
Miami definitely has a better team than Georgia Tech but they don't have any class and the stadium is not nice. Every ticket holder has to go through a police type frisk to get past the gate and the locals act like the thugs you see on the news at a soccer game in Europe. The Tech cheerleaders were verbally assaulted with the foulest language imagineable. I won't be back.
EVERYTHING IS GREAT WHEN THE U WINS!!! Missing fans need more to come out!
The seats were amazing. I think you need to put that they are right in front of the cheerleaders! Great time!
The stadium, the fans, the players....awesome experience! That was my first game. It won't be my last. I'm hooked.
UM dominated GT in every aspect of the game. We had a blast in the best seats I have ever had!
great game the "u" is back HARRIS IS THE REAL DEAL
