Most of you guys are probably too young to remember our season opener against UF in 1987. I think the final score was something like 31-4. The only points we gave up were on safeties from bad punt snaps by Willis Peguese. Willis was primarily a DE, but he had the snapping duties too. He made two terrible snaps that led to safeties, and that was the only scoring that day for the Gator.
e had a stifling defense that gave Kerwin Bell fits and shut down Emmit Smith. I think we might have sent Kerwin Bell to the hospital two years in a row so badly did we beat him up. Danny Stubbs, in particular, gave Bell fits.
I wish I could find a shorter video with just the scoring highlights. An odd game with an odd score, to say he least.
If you want to see old-time Miami defense that was stifling, you can sit back and enjoy this game.

Remember that. Willis Peguese (Southridge?) would have been a 4 or 5 star DE in todays recruiting world. Played well at UM but was not a difference maker. I don't remember him playing in the NFL. But that was amusing, in a game of complete dominance by UM over UF, UF's only points came on punt snap snafu's. They were not even close, both were probably ten feet over the punter.
