All Miami had to do was kneel with 33 seconds left and end the game. Instead, the Hurricanes ended on the wrong side of history vs. Georgia Tech on Saturday.
led unranked Georgia Tech 20-17 with 33 seconds to go in the fourth quarter. A simple kneel down would've ran out the clock to see the program move to a solid 5-0 on the season.
Instead, Miami head coach Mario Cristobal opted to run on third-and-10, but running back Donald Chaney Jr. fumbled at the Georgia Tech 26-yard line and lost possession. Then, somehow, Georgia Tech quarterback Haynes King claimed the throne with a 30-yard completion to Malik Rutherford before hitting Christian Leary on a 44-yard touchdown with one second left.“That’s one of the biggest coaching mistakes at this level that I have ever seen in my lifetime.”In 2018 as head coach of Oregon vs. Stanford, Cristobal could've called three straight QB kneels to burn the clock to 10 seconds with the Ducks up 31-28 and no timeouts for the Cardinal.
Instead, he called a run play that led to a fumble at the 51-second mark. Stanford would go on to get a game-tying field goal at the end of regulation before winning 38-31 in overtime. Incroyable fin de match à Eugene. Alors que les Ducks avaient le match en main, RB CJ Verdell commet un fumble que LB Sean Barton récupère pour le Cardinal de #7 Stanford qui remonte ensuite le ballon pour tenter un FG égalisateur...Cristobal threw the game down the drain, and he may have just taken the Hurricanes to unranked territory with it.
