Week 2 Games

Miami '84 42
Miami '81 30

84 Marino rebounds from a rough opener to throw for 532 yards and 5 TD's. The 84 Killer Bees still got exposed for the 2nd week in a row and this will be a concern moving forward.

Miami '03 22
Miami '90 17

The 03 squad used a ball control offense (35:45 time of possession) to take a 16-3 lead into the 4th quarter. Marino had a rough game and his late comeback attempt fell short.

Miami '95 20
Miami '87 3

The 87 squad has no chance as Don Strock starts (I'm assuming this is to simulate the strike games?) and can't match up with 95 Marino's 351 yards passing.

Miami '92 23
Miami '83 12

Marino didn't start until 6 games in, so Dacid Woodley will make occassional starts to simulate that. That dooms the 83 squad. Bobby Humphrey is the star for 92, with 57 yards rushing and 76 yards receiving, with 1 TD.


Miami '85 41
Miami '99 24

Mark Clayton had 6 catches for 148 yards and 1 TD to lead the 85 Fins over a 99 squad that couldn't overcome Marino's 5 INT's.


Miami '79 9
Miami '94 7

The 79 Fins are outgained 449-197, but they manage to pick off Marino three times and force another fumble. Uwe Von Schamann kicks the game winning FG with 1:08 left.


Miami '14 22
Miami '71 34

The 71 Fins show off a surprisingly explosive offense (Griese goes for 11-21-219-3-0) to overcome a 137 yard effort from Lamar Miller.

Miami '06 10
Miami '01 6

An ugly game with opposing QB's Joey Harrington (11-26-96) and Jay Fiedler (10-22-75) putting up putrid performance. The biggest fireworks come from future Patriots WR Wes Welker, who returns a kickoff 91 yards for the only TD of the game.

Miami '77 42
Miami '09 17

77 was perhaps Griese's best season as a QB and here he carves up Sparano's Dolphins with a 16-26-238-3-0 performance. It was close at the half, but 77 pitched a 19-0 shutout in the 2nd half.

Miami '73 21
Miami '70 34

In a matchup of teams with very similar rosters, the younger team prevails thanks to a more efficient Griese (16-22-182-2-0 vs. 18-31-178-2-1).

Miami '74 0
Miami '75 24

The 75 Defense was dominant, holding 74 to 136 total yards. The 75 Griese went 14-20-231-2-0 and Nat Moore had 99 yards on 3 catches.

Miami '11 41
Miami '82 21

11 Miami scores more points than they did in their real life season. Chad Henne with a remarkable performance, throwing for 14-22-233-1-2, but then adding 87 rushing yards and 3 rushing TD's! Reggie Bush added 98 yards and a TD.

Miami '00 37
Miami '02 30

In a matchup of two teams led by RB's, 00 Miami races off to a 24-0 lead. 02 Miami mounts a comeback behind Ricky Williams and his 109 rushing, 95 receiving performance. They manage to tie it late in the 4th quarter, but a 54 yard run by 00 Lamar Smith sets up the game winning TD with 11 seconds left.

Miami '98 19
Miami '97 9

In another matchup of back to back seasons, 98 prevails on the strength of its vaunted defense (forcing Marino into 4 INT's) and 185 combined rushing yards from Karim Abdul-Jabbar and

Miami '72 20
Miami '08 17

Pennington throws a 6 yard TD pass with 12 seconds to send this one into OT, but Jake Scott picks off a pass in the first series of OT. This sets up the 72 squad to remain unbeaten on a Garo Yepremian FG.


Miami '78 10
Miami '16 16

A great performance from Jay Ajayi, including a 70 yard TD run on the first series of the game, was just enough to get the 16 Fins a narrow victory.


OPOTW: 84 Dan Marino - 33-45-532-5-0
DPOTW: 75 Bill Stanfill - 4 Tackles, 3 Sacks
