THE HURRICANESARE MAKING A COMEBACK AND REBUILDING THE PROGRAM TO BECOME A POWERHOUSE AGAIN. THIS RING WILL ONLY INCREASE IN VALUE. A combustible offense, a rock-solid defense and the nation's best special teams - by 1991 all these traits had become synonymous with Miami football and this team represented the zenith of its era. Quarterback Gino Torretta, a group of skill players nicknamed "The Ruthless Posse", and a linebacker corps that ranks among the greatest ever assembled, led these Hurricanes. Miami was seldom challenged. When they were, the Hurricanes passed every test. They started the season by ripping Arkansas on the road and dominating a Houston offense that had terrorized opponents for four seasons up to that game. Their first stiff challenge came against Penn State on October 12 and the Hurricanes, behind staunch defense and big plays by Horace Copeland (80-yard scoring catch) and Williams (91-yard punt return for a TD) held off the Nittany Lions. Two challenges in November punctuated the season. First was the annual grudge match in Tallahassee against Florida State. In what became known as "Wide Right I" the Hurricanes erased a 16-7 deficit in the final period on a 45-yard field goal by Carlos Huerta and a one-yard run by Larry Jones with 3:01 left to take a 17-16 lead. FSU marched down for a potential game-winning field goal in the closing seconds, but Gerry Thomas's 34-yard attempt was wide right. Miami escaped another close call a week later, slipping by Boston College on the road. The Hurricanes defense held off a late BC drive in the final seconds to preserve the 19-14 victory. A blowout of San Diego State clinched an Orange Bowl berth. With their fourth national title in their sights, there was no stopping the Hurricanes against Nebraska. Miami stymied the Huskers offense as few have, limiting the famed Nebraska ground game to just 82 rushing yards and throwing a shutout of the Big Eight Conference champions. The victory gave Miami the national title in the Associated Press rankings. The Hurricanes shared overall national honors with Rose Bowl champ Washington, which nudged ahead in the coaches' poll. 1991 (12-0-0)Head Coach: Dennis Erickson Date UM Rank Opponent Result Score Aug. 31 3 at Arkansas W 31-3 Sept. 12 2 (10) Houston W 40-10 Sept. 28 2 at Tulsa W 34-10 Oct. 5 2 Oklahoma State W 40-3 Oct. 12 2 (9) Penn State W 26-20 Oct. 19 2 Long Beach State W 55-0 Oct. 26 2 at Arizona W 36-9 Nov. 9 3 West Virginia W 27-3 Nov. 16 2 at (1) Florida State W 17-16 Nov. 23 1 at Boston College W 19-14 Nov. 30 1 San Diego State W 39-12 Jan. 1 1 *vs. (11) Nebraska W 22-0 386-100*Orange Bowl Classic, Miami Starting LineupOffenseSE - Horace CopelandTE - Coleman Bell/Joe MooreWT - Leon SearcyWG - Rudy BarberC - Kelvin HarrisSG - Claude JonesST - Mario CristobalFL - Lamar ThomasQB - Gino TorrettaFB - Stephen McGuireTB - Darryl SpencerDefenseRE - Rusty MedearisRT - Eric MillerLT - Anthony HamletLE - Kevin PatrickWLB - Jessie ArmsteadMLB - Michael BarrowSLB - Darrin SmithRCB - Herbert JamesFS - Darryl WilliamsSS - Hurlie BrownLCB - Ryan McNeilSpecialistsPK - Carlos HuertaP - Paul SnyderDS - Tom PattersonHOL - Joe MoorePR - Kevin WilliamsKOR - Kevin Williams, Darryl SpencerCoaching StaffHead Coach - Dennis EricksonAssistant CoachesGregg Smith, assistant head coach/offensive lineBob Bratkowski, offensive coordinator/receiversSonny Lubick, defensive coordinator/defensive backsDave Arnold, tight ends/special teamsBob Karmelowicz, defensive lineArt Kehoe, offensive lineEd Orgeron, defensive lineTommy Tuberville, linebackersAlex Wood, running backsCarmen Grosso, volunteer assistantScott Auker, graduate assistantEddie Gran, graduate assistantJim Michalczik, graduate assistant   1991 Statistical Leaders RUSHING Att.
