that was "before the 'net" and locals didn't have lines for non board teams--which m,oh. was at that time. there are lines on almost every level of football these days, if you cruise the net. but back then, no net and no local would have had a line. a friendly bookmaker in vegas may have made a line and let you bet $100 on it, maybe. if you want to get an idea, though, m,fla's previous two games to this were AT cincy and AT east carolina. they were 37 and 31 point favorites, and covered. i would guess that at HOME against a non board team, and a coach (jimmy j?) that liked to run it up, i'd say m,fla -56. but it's just a guess.
Sorry man.... I can't find it either. MAC info wasn't in the magazines I have from that year either. I do notice Miami Fla was 46 point favorites in 1988 against a 3-8 Cincinnati team at the Orange Bowl. I would expect the spread from your game was definitely higher than this week's Boise game.
