Miami football is best known for its run in the 1990s and early 2000s as a monster NFL factory. The Hurricanes had six players selected in the first round of the 2004 draft alone!

That was the zenith for Miami football odds, and it was led by defense. So there’s always a little historical dissonance when the modern-day Hurricanes end up in yet another high-scoring shootout.

Current head coach Mario Cristobal has his boys annually competing for the College Football Playoff. But these days, college football is won more often with good offense and Florida speed.

Perhaps that explains why some of Miami’s highest-scoring games in the history of the program have come in just the last few years.
