Yep, Turner Gill and Mike Rozier (Heisman winner) ran the option to perfection that year. They steam rolled everyone they played all season (including #4 Penn State 44-6) [/align]only to lose to Miami in the Orange Bowl 31-30 with the classic failed two point opportunity.

We have that debate periodically on the Texas boards. What if Georgia had been called for holding on that TD/Texas hadn't put a freshman back to fumble the punt late in the 4th/... And would the Miami dynasty have happened if Osborne kicked the XP for the tie ? Season a classic example of why the old system was bad. Nebraska and Texas were #1 and #2 all season and were disappointed not to get a shot at each other and both slept walk through their bowl games, both losing by 1. That Texas defense had something like 17 players eventually get drafted.
