[edit] Season Recap

After an almost perfect season in '86 the Hurricanes came into the '87 season with the fire in their eyes again. This time the 'Canes would be lead by quarterback Steve Walsh. Michael Irvin, Brian Blades, Danny Stubbs, George Mira Jr, and Bennie Blades all returned to the Orange Bowl to help guide Miami to another perfect season. This time the 'Canes would not let the Championship slip away. Miami won a close one over the Oklahoma Sooners in their own back yard (Orange Bowl) for their second National Championship.
