They only mention losses that support the narrative. I.e. Miami loses to Penn State, but we were still cool because we wore army fatigues, or Miami loses to Notre Dame because we got cheated, or Miami loses to BYU because Dennis Erickson had no control over the players.

The beat down at the hands of Bama does not support the narrative that Miami was this unstoppable force but for these aberrations.

And that one's not even true. After the questionable fumble call Notre Dame's quarterback fumbled three plays later giving Miami the ball on ND's twenty-one yard line. Miami scored a touchdown four plays later. Jimmy Johnson then went for two and failed. Anyway a Miami touchdown in the first half never should have occurred. A Miami player caught a pass and took two steps before he fumbled. That was ruled an incomplete pass, and Miami scored a touchdown two plays later. One of many examples of how that documentary wouldn't let truth in the way of its story.
