On the whole, I thought it was an entertaining and well put-together film. That being said, I thought there were a couple of notable omissions. I realize the film was supposed to be more about the evolution and cultural impact of the Miami program in the 1980s and early 1990s, rather than just a chronicle of big games in which Miami played, but....
They really glossed over the 1984 season, Jimmy Johnson's first year at the helm. That was an up-and-down year for the Canes -- they started 8-2 but lost their last three games to finish 8-5, just one year removed from their first national championship. From Miami's perspective, it was a step backwards and probably wasn't that noteworthy. But that season included some games that, while Miami fans might want to forget them, remain some of the most memorable of that decade, if not all of college football history.
There was Miami blowing a 31-0 halfitme lead against Maryland and losing 42-40. There was a 39-37 loss to UCLA in the Fiesta Bowl, a wild seesaw game that saw the teams trade the lead back and forth multiple times.
And of course, there was the Doug Flutie Game. Aside from its iconic final play, the sheer numbers of that game were just ridiculous. The two quarterbacks combined for over 900 yards passing. The two teams combined for over 1,200 yards of total offense and 92 points. Miami's Melvin Bratton scored four touchdowns.
The film included footage and discussion of other notable Miami losses during that ten-year span -- Penn State in the 1987 Fiesta Bowl, Notre Dame in 1988, BYU in 1990, Washington in 1994. I'd think that the Flutie game was as big a deal as those, but it wasn't mentioned.
