HOLY SHIT: Miami Just Invented A Seemingly Impossible Way To Lose Because Mario Cristobal Doesn't Know How To Kneel The Ball

Oh my God. Miami may have to fire Mario Cristobal for this and I'm not kidding even a little bit. This is the worst mismanagement of an end-of-game situation I've ever seen.

There are plenty of coaches who don't understand when they can kneel the ball and end up running more plays than they really need to, but I don't recall ever seeing a team snap the ball with less than 40 seconds on the clock and run a play when its opponent does not have a timeout. Literally all Miami had to do was take a knee and the game was over. They didn't have to run around on fourth down and heave the ball through the end zone or anything. The game would have ended.

And instead, Cristobal elected to play stupid games and won a very well-deserved stupid prize. I still can't believe that happened.

But even after Georgia Tech got the ball back, the Hurricanes still had to shit down their legs another time or two for Tech to even get into field goal range with a chance to tie it.

…

And there you have it.

Holy shit, what a way to blow a football game. Right when everybody started to forget this was Miami and was talking them up, too. Real shame.
