1984-85

1984-85: Going into the season with high expectations and new coach Jimmy Johnson, Miami got off to successive dramatic victories over pre-season #1 Auburn and nationally ranked Florida (pictured right). In the Florida game, Miami scored 2 touchdowns in the last 20 seconds of the game to win in miraculous style. However, the pressure of the schedule and national ranking took its toll on the Canes and Miami ended up losing 5 games during the year. Included in these were the loss of a 31-0 halftime lead to Maryland, a hail mary loss to Doug Flutie of Boston College and in the Fiesta Bowl, a disappointing 39-37 loss to UCLA. Miami's defense had a horendous year, but quarterback Bernie Kosar was magnificent once again.
