Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Arizona, hosted the Fiesta Bowl.

The 1994 Fiesta Bowl, played on January 1, 1994, was the 23rd edition of the Fiesta Bowl.[1][2] The game featured the Arizona Wildcats, and the Miami Hurricanes.[1] The game featured the first shutout in Fiesta Bowl history, as Arizona shut-out Miami, 29–0.[2] The shutout loss was the first for Miami in 168 games, since they lost 30–0 to Alabama on November 17, 1979.

The scoring started with Dan White throwing a 13-yard touchdown pass to Troy Dickey. The ensuing extra point failed, and Arizona settled for a 6–0 lead. Kicker Steve McLaughlin kicked a 39-yard field goal to increase the lead to 9–0, at the end of the 1st quarter. Late in the second quarter, running back Chuck Levy scored on a 68-yard touchdown run to increase the lead to 16–0.

In the third quarter, McLaughlin added two field goals of 31 and 21 yards respectively, as the Wildcats opened up a 22–0 lead. In the 4th quarter, White connected with Dickey again for a 13-yard touchdown, to provide the final margin. Arizona gained revenge for an 8–7 Miami win the previous year, when McLaughlin missed a last second 51-yard field goal.
