The 1973 football season is the opening chapter in a trilogy of seasons that helped Miami carve a unique niche in college football history. From 1973-75, Miami amassed an amazing 32-1-1 record, capturing three Mid-American Conference Championships.

In 1973 alone, under head coach Bill Mallory, Miami went a perfect 11-0, including wins over Purdue, South Carolina and Florida (in the Tangerine Bowl). In all, the football team outscored its opponents 223-76 in 1973, finishing the year ranked No. 15 in the final Associated Press poll.

The 1973 football team is the first team inducted into the Miami Hall of Fame.
