Iirc, a long time ago when Baylor was a really bad program (I think it was Baylor), they lost a game when they fumbled a handoff instead of kneeling for the win and the other team recovered, and then vs the same team the next year in the same situation, they went for the kneel but botched the snap, the other team recovered and Baylor still lost the game. 🤣

I remember playing some game mode on madden where they had these "impossible" scenarios that happened in real life that you had to recreate, and it basically came down to pure luck on some of them, this would be one if they had the ncaa game still
As a NE fan we saw this already. You guys have some catching up to do in the “dumbest losses at the end of the game where you should have won no matter what” category.
I felt so lucky to be watching. I never watch Miami but their coach used to coach the ducks and he skipped out on his contract (I'm glad now) screwing us over and I tuned in to watch him fail and want disappointed. Chef's kiss levels of failure😅
I guess this is why it makes sense for losing teams to still call a timeout even at the end when it seems hopeless- the other team just MIGHT do something stupid and give you the ball back
Yup. It ruins the mental rhythm of the offense and breaks up the drill - and means you can sub in a fresh defender or two if the opposing team does a last second swap. Sometimes it's petty and hopeless, sometimes you have a chance to capitalize on a mental mistake.... like Tech did. But heck. Even Mark Stoops took the knee at the last play down a hopeless 51-13 yesterday, rather than risk a last second injury on an already seriously banged up offense.
@@chriskay1449 Interesting, that if Tech doesn't score, they might have gotten roasted for not throwing the ball into the endzone, because they would have run out of time if the receiver didn't score.
Not only did Miami blow it with the fumble but then the defense does the one thing you can’t do in that scenario which is let the receiver way over the top
THEY NEVER SHOULDVE RAN THE BALL TO BEGIN WITH. Georgia Tech had ZERO time outs and Miami had at least 2. It they ran into a situation where not enough time would run out then they could've used a time out went back out and restarted the clock, take a knee and it's done.
@@doggy255 doesnt matter lmao. original call was a fumble and they could not see where the ball came out on replay, they HAVE TO stick with the original call.
All true and nice prediction, except for the "real quick" part. Those two words are time stamped in this era. In a few years everyone will know American public school teachers were told to push those two words, or "really quickly," on their students. Or else. Why was this pushed? Because the vast majority of America's kids in the last few years bound for the factory or the cubicles, and not much thinking going on thereat. So the edict "Do task a little bit faster" sent down from on high, sent from those who breed us like cattle. Think I'm wrong? Imagine a nurse telling a brain surgeon: "Real quick, Doc, cut into this patient's head." Do you want your brain surgeon to speed things up? A coworker friend of mine heard this, and he retold the story of a friend of his requesting to "Real quick, say grace." Like God has other things to do besides listen to your prayers. "Let's go," said the Supreme Being. "We're loosing daylight." And I know it's spelled "losing" but I prefer the internet (mis)spelling.
I can't believe this. I switched to other games once Miami got the first down and GT was out of time outs. It wasn't until I saw the score on the bottom line that I found out what happened. Unreal. On top of the fumble, that was absolutely atrocious defense on the last drive.

@@michaeldoesfunstuff4992 true, though they should know to keep everything in front of them, especially the safeties. Even so, that's also on coaching, to make sure they are properly positioned as well.
You lead by 3, on 3rd down with under 40 seconds to go, and your opponent has no timeouts. You take a knee, and the game is over. That was the single worst coaching decision in the history of football, Miami deserved to lose that.

Seriously. Call a t/o with one sec on the play clock if you’re confused to get on the same “take a knee” page but do not run the ball. Dumbest decision I’ve seen in a long time.

One year later, the entire Tech crowd at Bobby Dodd was mocking them with a hilariously ironic, "Take A Knee!" chant as the Jackets clinched the win with one last first down. First time that the numerous Miami fans got really PO'd. Is there an emoji for an upside down "U"?
THIS IS NOT MARIO'S FIRST TIME: (2018) With Oregon leading 31-28 at home and the ball near midfield, Cristobal could have had Herbert kneel to run the clock down to 16 or fewer seconds before punting. (Stanford had one timeout left.) Instead, he had CJ Verdell run on 2nd-and-2. The call looked entirely reasonable at the moment, but the redshirt freshman fumbled. Stanford took possession with 51 seconds left and drove to the tying field goal as time expired. The Cardinal won 38-31 in overtime on Colby Parkinson’s juggling touchdown catch and Alameen Murphy’s interception.
That wasn’t really Mario’s fault. A lot of bad things can happen on a punt (e.g. MSU-UM). I didn’t blame him for wanting to end the game there by getting 2 yards. Tonight was EGREGIOUS. This is ALL on Cristobal and the OC.
My favorite part about watching this game live was the fact that one of the announcers didn't even realize the opportunity to get into victory formation until just seconds before Miami's final run. It was honestly a glitch in the matrix.
@@Bubbles088Yeah but live they were doing the math out loud just seconds before the video footage started. You would think that with it being second down with under 80 seconds remaining there would be no need to run a play.
@@benji3900 I'm well aware of that but I think most people watching picked up on the fact that there were less than 80 seconds remaining on second down. The point is that it was funny watching it live, I'm not trying to shame anyone.
well, Miami was losing basically the whole game this time. Haynes King's arm was shot this year (shoulder injury), but wow he is some kind of winner. I hope his shoulder gets better.
Classic Cristobal. Great recruiter, gets good coaches around him, clueless in the 4th quarter. Did the same thing with Oregon and Stanford forced a fumble and won the game on a fg
The best part was that the announcer's comments weren't just hindsight. He was commenting before the fumble that they ought not to be running the ball.
Y’know there is a reason why The Miracle at the Meadowlands is historically considered one of THE worst football plays of all time and here we are all this time later with coaches not learning from it and wanting to repeat it.
I believe at the time (1970s) kneeling wasn't common place and there was a real chance that perhaps the play would be blown up, the refs would call some BS, etc. so just running it up the middle was the norm at the time.
I have seen a lot of good and bad sports in my time, local and national. I've watched games won and lost, by teams and individuals I cheered for and others I despised, in ways unconventional, inexplicable, unpredictable, shocking, and amazing, often all at once. And I've been a sports fan since the 2000s, with a strong interest in highlights going as far back as recorded audio, video, and newspaper accounts can go. I do not exaggerate when I say: this is THE dumbest thing I've ever seen in my entire life. Bar. None.
Exaggeration. The Miracle at the Meadowlands was the OG version of “why in God’s name are you running a play while ahead with less than 30 seconds left and your opponent can’t stop the clock?”
Yepp samething happened Oregon vs Stanford. End of the game fumble by Oregon, Stanford scores last sec field goal to win. Costs Oregon playoff chance. Bad coaching
Duck here. When Cristobol went bye bye, I was like, "Meh. Not really that good. We can do better than that." Gotta wonder what his reasoning was for not taking a knee twice, and the win.
@@tarico4436 Maybe deep down Mario Criscooil hates to win or have a shot at going undefeated and/or to the playoffs? There is a DEEP psychological disconnect in pulling this stunt but doing it twice at two different schools is mind blowing to say the least
@@philyamascunt7518 Mario wants to see if his wife really loves him/will stay with him after he's been fired, and has been shuffled on down to coaching high school. Notice how Bobby Petrino's wife stuck with him after he slept around on her. (Hint: Petrino's still getting those big coaching paychecks.)
I mean you guys lost to a ranked team on the road in a fairly hostile environment, no one is gonna hold that against you. Now Miami being at home being 19 point favorites to a team that just got massacred by Bowling Green? I know where all the heat is
Louisville simply wanted that win much more and played their hearts out. Miami on the other hand… this is an absolute meltdown of a coaching decision and the defense gave up a wide open Hail Mary.
That loss yesterday just set your program back 5 years at least. It's the same ol ND. Shit offense and a team that would NEVER be able to hold it's own in a conference. Louisville is NOT a good team.
Notre Dame did something like this @ home against Northwestern in 2014! Up 3, had the ball in NU territory, NU had no timeouts w 1:30 remaining. ND runs instead of kneeling, fumbles, NU scores and wins in overtime. Incredible.
As a Miami fan, I am in utter shock, but at the same time, not surprised. Miami has made so many stupid mistakes and blown so many games in the last 20 years. Maybe one day they'll be back in my lifetime, SMH.
I rewatched the last play that Miami had the ball. There were less than 40 seconds left. GT had no time outs left. The rule is, take a knee and let the time run off towards 0:00. Now! That was something I've never seen before. Even the Detroit Lions have never done that in my life time!
And to think this is Mario’s second time doing this. He didn’t learn from the first time. Loses all credibility for this. Can’t trust a thing he says as a coach
@@KDTHAPHENOM In my football fandom life, the Lions seemed to always find ways to lose games. Hail mary passes & really long field goals by opponents, among other ways to lose. But never by this method of stupidity.
I'm a lifelong diehard BAMA fan but keep up with shyt, the worse thing I seen the lions do was a long long time ago, I remember when they went into a OT game vs maybe the giants or somebody, I forget, but they won the toss and deferred, the other team won, it was sudden death rules at that time, that was dumb to not take the ball first, but this clock management by Cristobal/Miami was even dumber
Rewatching this as a Canes fan, emotions aside, the fact that GT went 74 yards in 24 seconds with no timeouts is sick. Dumb running the ball, yes and Jessie said that. The defensive collapse was worse than the fumble. SMH.
Yep, that's pure Cristobal game management meltdown for you right there. As an Oregon fan, we've seen this too many times, he would always drop a couple games in the dumbest fashion or be too stubborn in his coaching philosophy to adjust to the game at hand. So not surprised he choked right here, it was bound to happen sooner or later. He may be an ace recruiter, but as a head coach he's so so, game management has always been his Achilles heel.
I was watching the final quarter of this game pretty intensely, watching king throw that pick late was a heart breaker. Went away to continue watching Caleb vs arizona, came back and saw the face mask on 2nd and 5 and I face palmed and turned the game off. 5 minutes later I check the final score only to see 15 seconds left with the ball in HAYNES KINGs hands… throws an absolute dart for the game. Left me so confused as to how they got the ball back. They showed the fumble and I dropped to my knees.
Believe me us fans stay at home BECUASE of performances like this. Miami is a big city with way better things to do then go watch Miami choke a victory
Miami needs to move out of a pro stadium and look into getting a smaller college stadium to get some kind of atmosphere going. Even when they’re winning Canes home games are soulless.
This is the type of loss that literally destroys program credibility from recruiting to the locker room... and prevents them from ever taking that next step under this head coach! The coach just sealed his fate with the Miami Hurricanes even if it's a year or 2 down the line!
Yep I mean look at the Miami player at the end throwing his helmet off. They know they should've won the game and the head coach who's paid millions of dollars lost it. Yea you can say the defense should've stopped them....true but they never should've been in that position to begin with. Sad part is Cristobal did this 4 years ago with Oregon and got the same result. Makes you wonder is he really this stupid or did he just get paid some damn good money to do this.
Very well said had they stayed undefeated. Recruiting class gets better but just like you said they see a stupid ass mistake like this. What the hell is that coach thinking
@@tigergirlkitaCristobal has always had trouble with clock management, *espeically* at the end of games. Also, I think Miami just got cocky/greedy and it bit them in the ass. I like the point you made about how Miami should have never been in that position. People can blame the defense or say the fumble should have been overturned, but Miami should never have had 4 turnovers. Ultimately, a win or loss is the summation of an entire game, not just a single moment that changes the direction of that game.
@Michael-on3ku EXACTLY - well said. I roll my eyes every time a fan tries to pin down a loss to *one* play (or a coach in this case; Cristobal petitioned the NCAA after this game, whining about the called fumble). Miami had _multiple_ chances to put this game away, but instead allowed GT to keep it close until a couple missteps were all it took for GT to steal one on the road. Clearly, GT was the better team that day, and they deserved to win this game.
There are certain endings in sports that are crazy or wild but that you wind up just kinda forgetting after a few weeks or months, but this is not one of them. This was such a preposterous, almost unimaginable way to lose a game that I'll genuinely never forget it.
I know what it's like to choke close games (trust me I'm a Nebraska fan) But THIS, this is a special kind of suffering that has been unleashed upon the Miami fan base, you will remember this for years.
I never thought I’d see a worse coaching decision at this level than Les Miles not getting the kicking unit on the field and just letting the clock expire…but this is infinitely worse. This will never be topped - we’ve just witnessed the dumbest coaching decision in college football for all time
Wow. In the words of Jack Buck, for entirely different reasons, "I can't believe what I just saw". The Georgia Tech WR who caught the winning pass, almost pulled a Desean Jackson by sliding to early and almost went feet first. Could you imagine if the marked him short? He got it no question, but that would have been interesting.
Reminds me back in the 1999 when Baylor tried to run for a TD with a few seconds on the clock at like the 10 or something. They fumbled at the one and Kevin Thomas ran it back for a TD to win the game. I remember listening w/ my dad and him going crazy. Game wasn't on TV I don't think but I remember watching highlights on the local news. One of the very few highlights of being a UNLV football fan throughout the years. What a stupid coaching decision.
I’m a Kentucky fan. Dawson the OC was with us a year or 2. He was crazy and fans didn’t like him. He once said “I’m a really good offensive coordinator if i actually had a decent QB”. Even if it’s true, you don’t throw your kids under the bus like that
Is it possible yet to bet on a team real-time? For example, two plays before Miami fumbled, they were probably a 90% chance to win. So if I had stupid odds for GT to win, and bet would that of been possible?
@@-phenom-GT is such a weird team. They upset UNC in a similar game while huge underdogs but they seem to lose a really weird game like Bowling Green too. They got destroyed in that BGSU game and turn around and do this
Was the RBs elbow not touching before the guy pulled the ball loose? I thought he was down but regardless dumb play call and the RB should of just fell down right when he got the ball and gave himself up instead of playing it out.
I came here from IG after seeing that last second TD on ESPNs page, but even though I knew how this was about to unfold while watching this video I couldn't help thinking to myself "They're really about to keep running this ball and fumble...."
As an Oregon fan I can say that Cristobal was a great recruiter but average coach and was even worse when it came to clock management. I'm so glad Miami took him off of our hands and things worked out the way they did.
I scrolled a long way to see this comment….there is a really good case to be made for a replay as the runner is down when a slide starts. That was razor close.
@@198EE4I’m tryin to figure out how they reviewed the fumble and didn’t call him down. Stupid decks by Miami but He clearly was down before the ball came out.
I'm just revisiting this, and I forgot that it was on third down that the fumble happened. Miami tempted fate twice, and twice they were forgiven. Georgia Tech's defense wasn't good at defending, but it was good at creating turnovers, and you can ever hear the commentators anticipating what was about to unfold in confusion and horror.
Yeah yeah yeah blame the refs 🙄 I suppose they are also to blame for the turnovers and they're definitely to blame for miami's head coach's massive blunder
Let me tell you all exactly what happened at the end of this game. It wasn't a "mistake" or an "accident" that Miami didn't take a knee at the end of this game. The Miami coaching staff were being jerks... trying to run the ball down Georgia Techs throat... and it came back to bite them. Plain and simple.
I was watching this game in my apartment at Georgia Tech last night and I swear I should’ve gotten a noise complaint lol. An ugly win but an amazing effort from our Jackets!!!!!!
does Miami spend all their time trying to perfect the most niche scenarios and forget to care of the basics? that was one of the best desperation lateral sequences I've ever seen, but it only happened because of some of the most stupid clock management
Until george in classic allen iverson fashion made the low iq decision to forget he has teammates and think he has skills above his mere mortal competitors. Everyone knew the assignment, then they tossed it to an idiot...
They were #20 in the country with a 3-1 record at the time. It was 2nd and 3 with 57 seconds left and Stanford had a timeout. There was no way they could had taken a knee and ran the clock out in that game. Stanford was getting the ball regardless. The smart play was to try and get the 3 yards for a first down and then take a knee.
I am speechless. I don’t even think Nebraska has lost a game like this before 😨
This team was ranked, too.
Give it time, they’ll pull that too.
As a Nebraska fan please we’re trying too not do that anymore 😂
Why we catching strays like that
You just gonna ignore that Chaneys elbow was down before the fumble?
This might possibly be the stupidest way to lose a game this entire season. There’s just no way that it gets topped.
Not just this season bro, all time
I'm not remotely exaggerating when I say this is the stupidest way to lose that I've seen *ever.*

That wasn’t really Mario’s fault. A lot of bad things can happen on a punt (e.g. MSU-UM). I didn’t blame him for wanting to end the game there by getting 2 yards.
Tonight was EGREGIOUS. This is ALL on Cristobal and the OC.
How did he not learn from that?
My favorite part about watching this game live was the fact that one of the announcers didn't even realize the opportunity to get into victory formation until just seconds before Miami's final run. It was honestly a glitch in the matrix.
This is a statistical anomaly
They did realize it lol at 1:25
@@Bubbles088Yeah but live they were doing the math out loud just seconds before the video footage started. You would think that with it being second down with under 80 seconds remaining there would be no need to run a play.
They're announcers. That isn't their job. It IS a coach's job however. Not sure why you think they didn't realize though, they talked about it. 🤷🏼♂️
@@benji3900 I'm well aware of that but I think most people watching picked up on the fact that there were less than 80 seconds remaining on second down. The point is that it was funny watching it live, I'm not trying to shame anyone.
anyone here in 2024 after Miami chokes again vs GT? 😂😂
well, Miami was losing basically the whole game this time. Haynes King's arm was shot this year (shoulder injury), but wow he is some kind of winner. I hope his shoulder gets better.
Of course! Go Jackets!
Heck yea!! My dad didn't remember it so I had to show him.
When does Miami open coach applications? Cause I want to be their new head coach.
He might get fired at the end of this year! There’s no way he can explain what he did
@saintbrownthetrojan right now. congrats you're hired
Mario didn't sign himself to that contract. And it isn't like any coach worth his salt wants that job.
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂 Me too. I can do this
Classic Cristobal. Great recruiter, gets good coaches around him, clueless in the 4th quarter. Did the same thing with Oregon and Stanford forced a fumble and won the game on a fg
yep as a oregon fan his coaching was questionable alot that Stanford loss still hurts
Cristobal doesn't hire good coaches...Good coaches don't want to be on his staff because of his personality.
So glad he left and we got Lanning. Two of the worst coaches Oregon ever had both ended up in Florida and they can keep them!
@@joshtutor5606Dawson is a good offensive coordinator
And even though they won the Ohio state game, he tried to clock manage himself out of that win too
One year later, GT got to kneel the ball to beat undefeated Miami again.
The best part was that the announcer's comments weren't just hindsight. He was commenting before the fumble that they ought not to be running the ball.
Of course it’s not hindsight… anyone that understands basic mathematics understands that any 3 second long play will end the game
How did 56 people even like this? That many people need this explained to them?
Because everyone who knows football knows this
There was literally no reason to run the ball that last time
Bro, go touch grass. It’s not that big of a deal.
And GT didn't even have to score on a Hail Mary, it was just blown coverage.
As a new geogia tech fan and student this is the greatest game ive ever watched
Go Jackets!
It's been a year and GT STILL ON TOP!!
Y’know there is a reason why The Miracle at the Meadowlands is historically considered one of THE worst football plays of all time and here we are all this time later with coaches not learning from it and wanting to repeat it.
miracle at the meadowlands is the first thing that came to mind, how the hell did it happen again
YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME...unless you're Miami, apparently.
Yep, same here. First thing that came to mind for me too. Just... wow
I believe at the time (1970s) kneeling wasn't common place and there was a real chance that perhaps the play would be blown up, the refs would call some BS, etc. so just running it up the middle was the norm at the time.
@@NickyDusse that is a fair point indeed. I've heard that too. So this that Miami did is far more inexcusable than the Giants
That last pass by GT was masterful.

As a ND fan I just wanna thank Miami for taking the heat of us with this embarrassment.
I mean you guys lost to a ranked team on the road in a fairly hostile environment, no one is gonna hold that against you. Now Miami being at home being 19 point favorites to a team that just got massacred by Bowling Green? I know where all the heat is
Louisville simply wanted that win much more and played their hearts out.
Miami on the other hand… this is an absolute meltdown of a coaching decision and the defense gave up a wide open Hail Mary.
Same here as a Texas fan 💀
That loss yesterday just set your program back 5 years at least. It's the same ol ND. Shit offense and a team that would NEVER be able to hold it's own in a conference. Louisville is NOT a good team.
@@Cryogenx37what does that mean? They wanted it more? That's something only people with down syndrome say
Notre Dame did something like this @ home against Northwestern in 2014! Up 3, had the ball in NU territory, NU had no timeouts w 1:30 remaining. ND runs instead of kneeling, fumbles, NU scores and wins in overtime. Incredible.
i doubt you meant to do this but u timestamped 1:30 which so happens to be the start of the disastrous play in the video 🤣
I like how the defender looked at the ref because he couldn't believe what just happened

@@michaelmacdonald880 The crooks and convicts era was insane. Its amazing how far you can go when morals and integrity go out the window.

Not with Mario Cristobal as your head coach. He did this at Oregon in 2018 against Stanford which ended up sending the game to OT and a Stanford win.
I rewatched the last play that Miami had the ball. There were less than 40 seconds left. GT had no time outs left. The rule is, take a knee and let the time run off towards 0:00. Now! That was something I've never seen before. Even the Detroit Lions have never done that in my life time!
And to think this is Mario’s second time doing this. He didn’t learn from the first time. Loses all credibility for this. Can’t trust a thing he says as a coach
What the Lions gotta do wit that? 🤦🏾
@@KDTHAPHENOM In my football fandom life, the Lions seemed to always find ways to lose games. Hail mary passes & really long field goals by opponents, among other ways to lose. But never by this method of stupidity.
I'm a lifelong diehard BAMA fan but keep up with shyt, the worse thing I seen the lions do was a long long time ago, I remember when they went into a OT game vs maybe the giants or somebody, I forget, but they won the toss and deferred, the other team won, it was sudden death rules at that time, that was dumb to not take the ball first, but this clock management by Cristobal/Miami was even dumber
@@davids9520 not this Lions team 🙄

Yep, that's pure Cristobal game management meltdown for you right there. As an Oregon fan, we've seen this too many times, he would always drop a couple games in the dumbest fashion or be too stubborn in his coaching philosophy to adjust to the game at hand. So not surprised he choked right here, it was bound to happen sooner or later. He may be an ace recruiter, but as a head coach he's so so, game management has always been his Achilles heel.
Totally agree

I was watching the final quarter of this game pretty intensely, watching king throw that pick late was a heart breaker. Went away to continue watching Caleb vs arizona, came back and saw the face mask on 2nd and 5 and I face palmed and turned the game off. 5 minutes later I check the final score only to see 15 seconds left with the ball in HAYNES KINGs hands… throws an absolute dart for the game. Left me so confused as to how they got the ball back. They showed the fumble and I dropped to my knees.
Like Miami’s quarterback should have?
I don't understand who you were cheering for!
Runner's elbow was down before the football was stripped but running when you could have knelt leaves you open to the officials making that call.

Miami needs to move out of a pro stadium and look into getting a smaller college stadium to get some kind of atmosphere going. Even when they’re winning Canes home games are soulless.

Yep I mean look at the Miami player at the end throwing his helmet off. They know they should've won the game and the head coach who's paid millions of dollars lost it. Yea you can say the defense should've stopped them....true but they never should've been in that position to begin with. Sad part is Cristobal did this 4 years ago with Oregon and got the same result. Makes you wonder is he really this stupid or did he just get paid some damn good money to do this.
Very well said had they stayed undefeated. Recruiting class gets better but just like you said they see a stupid ass mistake like this. What the hell is that coach thinking
@@tigergirlkitaCristobal has always had trouble with clock management, *espeically* at the end of games. Also, I think Miami just got cocky/greedy and it bit them in the ass.
I like the point you made about how Miami should have never been in that position. People can blame the defense or say the fumble should have been overturned, but Miami should never have had 4 turnovers. Ultimately, a win or loss is the summation of an entire game, not just a single moment that changes the direction of that game.
@Michael-on3ku EXACTLY - well said.
I roll my eyes every time a fan tries to pin down a loss to *one* play (or a coach in this case; Cristobal petitioned the NCAA after this game, whining about the called fumble). Miami had _multiple_ chances to put this game away, but instead allowed GT to keep it close until a couple missteps were all it took for GT to steal one on the road.
Clearly, GT was the better team that day, and they deserved to win this game.
@@ScrewFlandersno bro. U take a knee and it’s over. I usually agree to things not coming down to one play but if you take a knee it’s over.
There are certain endings in sports that are crazy or wild but that you wind up just kinda forgetting after a few weeks or months, but this is not one of them. This was such a preposterous, almost unimaginable way to lose a game that I'll genuinely never forget it.
I know what it's like to choke close games (trust me I'm a Nebraska fan)
But THIS, this is a special kind of suffering that has been unleashed upon the Miami fan base, you will remember this for years.
I never thought I’d see a worse coaching decision at this level than Les Miles not getting the kicking unit on the field and just letting the clock expire…but this is infinitely worse. This will never be topped - we’ve just witnessed the dumbest coaching decision in college football for all time

Here after they lost to GT again
Wow. In the words of Jack Buck, for entirely different reasons, "I can't believe what I just saw". The Georgia Tech WR who caught the winning pass, almost pulled a Desean Jackson by sliding to early and almost went feet first. Could you imagine if the marked him short? He got it no question, but that would have been interesting.
That would have been embarrassing to come up a yard short because you decided to slide.
Look at me, look at me , look at me generation.
I don't think he decided to slide, the field was very slippery all night, and he was off balance from the catch.
Saw that too. He almost went down too early. That would have been the 2nd worst play of the game.
Nah, the ball was over. Not even close.
Reminds me back in the 1999 when Baylor tried to run for a TD with a few seconds on the clock at like the 10 or something. They fumbled at the one and Kevin Thomas ran it back for a TD to win the game. I remember listening w/ my dad and him going crazy. Game wasn't on TV I don't think but I remember watching highlights on the local news. One of the very few highlights of being a UNLV football fan throughout the years. What a stupid coaching decision.
I’m a Kentucky fan. Dawson the OC was with us a year or 2. He was crazy and fans didn’t like him. He once said “I’m a really good offensive coordinator if i actually had a decent QB”. Even if it’s true, you don’t throw your kids under the bus like that

Miami was favored by 19 points so GT was easily covering the spread no matter what, but yeah the money line bettors on GT musta been thrilled!

Was the RBs elbow not touching before the guy pulled the ball loose? I thought he was down but regardless dumb play call and the RB should of just fell down right when he got the ball and gave himself up instead of playing it out.

I scrolled a long way to see this comment….there is a really good case to be made for a replay as the runner is down when a slide starts. That was razor close.

Don't let you distract you from this game being 3-0 at halftime, the rampant reffball, and the 5 picks.

Let me tell you all exactly what happened at the end of this game. It wasn't a "mistake" or an "accident" that Miami didn't take a knee at the end of this game. The Miami coaching staff were being jerks... trying to run the ball down Georgia Techs throat... and it came back to bite them. Plain and simple.

does Miami spend all their time trying to perfect the most niche scenarios and forget to care of the basics? that was one of the best desperation lateral sequences I've ever seen, but it only happened because of some of the most stupid clock management
Until george in classic allen iverson fashion made the low iq decision to forget he has teammates and think he has skills above his mere mortal competitors. Everyone knew the assignment, then they tossed it to an idiot...
Seen it before from Cristobal. He pulled this same garbage against Stanford when Oregon was #3 in the country. And they lost because of it.
They were #20 in the country with a 3-1 record at the time. It was 2nd and 3 with 57 seconds left and Stanford had a timeout. There was no way they could had taken a knee and ran the clock out in that game. Stanford was getting the ball regardless. The smart play was to try and get the 3 yards for a first down and then take a knee.
