@@randallmartin4757 How so? I mean a tie at home is kinda closer to a loss than a win, rite? But I bet OU wishes they could have played FSU vs Miami on their home turrf. Miami cost OU a three peat from 85-87 with wins the last 2 years.
Just a back drop to this game-Jimmy Johnson was an Arkansas assistant before he became a big name and he says in his Bio that he was promised the Arkansas HC job by the Athletic Director. Well Arkansas reneged on the promise and gave it to someone else. Jimmy left for Oklahoma State and later Miami. He states that this win was especially sweet.
At the Time I was unaware of this. Didn't know anyone who did. Always wondered was Arkansas this bad? We were projected to win the SWC. I was shocked to see my Hogs get beaten this bad. I think the whole dang state was. They beat us like we were used to handling next Mexico state!!! I think this is what soured the fan base on ken Hatfield and his flexbone offence. I also postulate this caused Frank to wish he had hired Jimmy. He turned on ken and started to recommend changing the offense and staff and ken stood up to him and said no. Even 2 SWC titles couldn't get the fans and Frank off of ken's case resulting in ken leaving us for Clemson. Anyone agree, disagree?
Jimmy Johnson Miami coach and Kenny Hatfield Ark. coach were on the same 1964 Ark. team with Jerry Jones. Barry Switzer was an assistant coach on same team.
Jimmy was passed over for the Arkansas job in 84’ for Hatfield. As if that wasn’t bad enough, they humiliated him by bringing him in for an interview after they offered the job to Hatfield. That’s why the players carried him off. This was a revenge game for him. Not against Hatfield. But against Broyles.
@@joerules829I think Jimmy was also passed over in 76 for HC. Jimmy had been DC for broyles and holtz was hired instead. Don't know if that was true though.. Hard to blame Jimmy though!
@@ruckanitepreacher5618 that also happened. But he understood. He was only 33 at the time. But he had been a successful head coach at Oklahoma State for 5 years in 84’. And Broyles met with him after hiring Hatfield had leaked. Arkansas was his dream job at the time. But he got the last laugh.
I remember Danny Sheridan on CNN analyzing this game BEFORE it kicked off, he said "Arkansas is a good college team, Miami is a good pro team.". I'd say he nailed that one!!
Not really. Jimmy inherited a strong program that Howard Schnellenberger built. Jimmy's 1st 3 years were disappointing. Not to mention, Dennis Erickson won a couple of titles after Jimmy left.
He definitely should have left Miami with 3 straight national titles. Quarterback issues in the championship game in '86 and terrible officiating against Notre Dame in '88
I was looking forward to Steve Atwater punishing Miami. But, 10 minutes into the game he had given up multiple big plays to Michael Irvin and missed a tackle on Melvin Bratton long touchdown run. Maybe that’s why he fell late in the first round to the Broncos.
We Arkansas fans just got a beat-down that brought us down to earth. The hype leading up to this 87 season was unreal. Picked to win the SWC. 13 returning starters. Greg Thomas was a senior. We i think thought we were an elite program, but we weren't. OU had just curb-stomped us in the Orange Bowl the past Jan 1. We should have known we weren't a blue blood program. Mediocre compitition in the SWC had us thinking we were better than we were.
These teams that were heavy run reliant were no match for Miami's defense. Most of these teams could not pass to save their lives if they got behind.. Arkansas does have some great fans. I would have headed out for the exits when it 38 to 0 before halftime.
Pretty certain if you somehow could put truth serum into Jimmy Johnson, he would let you know that he would have kept piling it on to the Hogs here, since Frank Broyles did not hire him out of OSU when the Arkansas job became available a few years before this. Being a Hog alum, guaranteed Johnson did not forget the snub..... Plus: very, very difficult to run this ‘Flex-bone’ or even the old ‘Wishbone’ against a defense that is just as fast!
Broyles had already hired Hatfield when Johnson came in for his interview, only Frank didn't say anything. Jimmy found out about it later and, no, he did not forget. He distanced himself from his alma mater after that.
During the game Jimmy Johnson kept telling his defense if Arkansas scores 1pt. he was gonna make the team run wind-sprints the entirety of their next parctice. Arkansas scored that touchdown near the end of the game and according to Micheal Irving Monday's practice nothing but wind-sprints, offense, defense, kickers too.
Not only that but when it was something like 51-0 the canes missed a scoring opportunity and Jimmy was going ape shit on the sidelines. The announcer couldn't believe it. Jimmy did the same thing against Notre Dame when he beat them 58-7 He was running up and down the sidelines with a big lead.
What an embarrassing game for Arkansas. Smh. Idk who ranked that team in the top 10 but they were delusional. Arkansas was not a top 10 team here. Despicable.
I think this performance led to the Hurricanes being sluggish up until late in the 3rd quarter the following week against FSU. Then again, FSU was also very good.
This clip brought back memories of when the anti Miami fans (like me) got sick of them always winning, then a new season starts and not only do they keep winning, they kill teams on the road. Like this one.
2 thing's- First thank God for Replay. Second the Refs with there spotting of the football for Miami was Crazy Terrible.. How about them Hurricane's 🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈😎
Arkansas did so many hits after the players was on the ground but all they tackled was air and miami does it once and gets flagged these refs are racist against the canes period
@@fkcavs The Canes were great football players, and fun to watch now, but also obnoxious trash. That whole "swagger" crap. I used to get sick listening to their excuses for losses. 1987 Fiesta Bowl they blamed on turnovers, as if they were completely random, and not their own fault. 1988 Notre Dame they obviously blamed on the refs. Even Saban's Alabama monster is less tiresome than the U was to anyone who wasn't a weird jobber from south Florida.
@@aaronrider4051 Good lord you sound like the Canes triggered you in every way.......but did you make a pro wrestling reference in " anyone who wasn't a weird jobber from South Florida " whatever that's supposed to mean. And sorry to break this to you but Miami had 5 turnovers in the Fiesta Bowl vs Pedo State which is absolutely the reason they lost the game considering they dominated every statistical category yet only lost by 4 points. And the 1988 Notre Dame game was straight 💩, Cleveland Gary never fumbled that ball. And Saban's is the most boring devoid of personality dynasty in the history of major sports.
1987 Miami Hurricanes one of the more underrated National Championship teams
Redemption
They were lucky against FSU lol... If FSU kicks extra points instead of going for 2 then FSU plays OU in Orange Bowl.. lol😂🎉w

He is an Arkansas alum, captain of their last National Championship team.

If you are a die hard miami hurricanes fan like me this was awesome man what a perfomance by the u.
two HOF in the game, Atwater, Irvin, loads of pro talent for Miami.
Miami was just so much faster than everyone else.

@@joerules829 That's a fact!
This is a #10 ranked team that got seven points and gave up 51? only the Canes...
Can’t thank you enough for posting this game….& looking forward to the start of the ‘21 college football season!
That Miami defense!!!
0
Could they have beat a pro team ??.
Devastating
These Miami teams sometimes felt like they were playing with 12 or 13 players on the field
I remember Danny Sheridan on CNN analyzing this game BEFORE it kicked off, he said "Arkansas is a good college team, Miami is a good pro team.". I'd say he nailed that one!!
This game was brutal if you're an Arkansas fan.
Lmmfao
@@StevenHunterPangians1 ... I vividly remember sitting in the living room with my father and two older brothers and laughing from start to finish 😂😂😂
"Reality Check!"....Soooooooie Pigs!
Bro that Miami defense was something else 🤯🔥🔥🔥
jimmy johnson could have been Nick Saban before Saban
Not really. Jimmy inherited a strong program that Howard Schnellenberger built. Jimmy's 1st 3 years were disappointing. Not to mention, Dennis Erickson won a couple of titles after Jimmy left.
He definitely should have left Miami with 3 straight national titles. Quarterback issues in the championship game in '86 and terrible officiating against Notre Dame in '88
I agree all the way on that. He could have won at least 4 national championships anyway.
Cristobal and his staff should watch this , maybe they can learn how to coach
I was looking forward to Steve Atwater punishing Miami. But, 10 minutes into the game he had given up multiple big plays to Michael Irvin and missed a tackle on Melvin Bratton long touchdown run. Maybe that’s why he fell late in the first round to the Broncos.
The Hurricanes had 51 players on this team that would later play in the NFL.
We Arkansas fans just got a beat-down that brought us down to earth. The hype leading up to this 87 season was unreal. Picked to win the SWC. 13 returning starters. Greg Thomas was a senior.

Gave em a much tougher game the next year in the OB but yes still another L.
Canes broke the wishbone in the 80s
These teams that were heavy run reliant were no match for Miami's defense. Most of these teams could not pass to save their lives if they got behind.. Arkansas does have some great fans. I would have headed out for the exits when it 38 to 0 before halftime.
Steve Walsh was a tremendous college QB.
I'm still pissed the Canes gave up that late TD.
Im sure JJ was too. He wanted this one bad.
Wow I remember this game! Thank you for posting it for us
We weren’t ready .. that was a helluva Canes team ..
But they were ready the following year

They could have scored at least 21 more points on Arkansas but I think Johnson gave them some mercy.
And penatrating!!!
Broyles had already hired Hatfield when Johnson came in for his interview, only Frank didn't say anything. Jimmy found out about it later and, no, he did not forget. He distanced himself from his alma mater after that.
Faster 😂

The WR in a 3pt stance is insane lol
U Of M...#305 BEST EVER COLLEGE FOOTBALL ERA... SKIN THOSE HOGS
Miami and FSU would play anywhere when they were independents!
The 1988 rematch would be a good one for your doubtless already long list of requests. :)
Yes. Miami was fortunate to win that one!
Yes I think Atwater dropped a sure int on the end zone that would of sealed it!
Two of my favorite words, blazing speed! 💚🧡
Way too much sideline to sideline running by the Arkansas wishbone. That plays to the Cane's great team speed
I think this performance led to the Hurricanes being sluggish up until late in the 3rd quarter the following week against FSU. Then again, FSU was also very good.
If you watch all Cleveland Gary highlights during his career at Miami he seems to fumble ever game when he hit the ground. 🤕🤕🤕
Cant run this offense against speed like that
Go Canes
This clip brought back memories of when the anti Miami fans (like me) got sick of them always winning, then a new season starts and not only do they keep winning, they kill teams on the road. Like this one.

Thanks for reminding me why I never liked Jimmy Johnson or Miami.
you liked them enough to watch it
@@mchaelburdett6410 well, this game was over 30 years ago. My family all HATED the Canes back then but the passage of time soothes the anger...
