They really choked that Fiesta Bowl vs Penn State. They should have mauled that team. In fact they did statistically but 5 INTs killed them. Not too often your superstar QB completes less than 50% of his passes and throws 4 picks that you have a chance to win at the end with the 5 pick in the end zone at the end of the game.

In 88 a Notre Dame they got hosed on a bad call even one of the refs said it was a good case for instant replay.

ETA: They did beat Bama in the Sugar Bowl in 89. They "won" the MNC because Notre Dame beat #1 Colorado.

Penn State realized in the game tape that if you got Tesdeverde to 3rd and long...he only looked at his primary receiver all the way.

Their whole game plan was to shorten the game with their ball control on offense...stop Miami's run and get Tesdeverde to 3rd and long...when PSU would bring in extra linebackers as DB's.

And you're right, despite all their mistakes, Miami still had a chance to win at the end...that's how more talented that Miami team was.
