On December 5, 1998, the UCLA Bruins and the Miami Hurricanes faced off in an interconference college football game at the Miami Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida. The game had previously been scheduled for September 26, 1998, but was postponed from its original date due to Hurricane Georges striking southern Florida.[1]
In a game that had national championship implications for UCLA if they had won, Miami won the game 49-45.
