Where this game sits in the lineage
Miami came in 14 days into reign #110, which began with a win over Mississippi State, with one defense already behind it; this was its second defense. It was the last defense: Auburn took the belt in the very next belt game, on November 6, 1954.
For Fordham this was its 4th shot at the belt; it had held the belt once before.
This is the only time Fordham and Miami have met with the belt on the line.
