Breaking news; Miami’s unforgetable head coach Mario Cristobal resignation statement cause management catastrophe…..
Everything had gone so well for Miami football to start the 2023 season. The Hurricanes were 4-0 for the first time since 2017, and the team had scored at least 38 points in each of its first four games for the first time since 2002. With a marquee game next week against undefeated North Carolina looming, the Hurricanes first had to get past a middling Georgia Tech team at home.
Georgia Tech stunned Miami, 23-20, to end the Hurricanes’ unbeaten season. Miami had the game locked up late in the fourth quarter, but blew it with one of the most questionable coaching decisions you will ever see.
Miami had a three-point lead and the ball in the final seconds of the fourth quarter. Facing a third-and-10, Miami could have taken a knee to run out the clock and assure their victory. Instead, the Hurricanes chose to run the ball. They fumbled.
A few plays later, Georgia Tech QB Haynes King hit Christian Leary with a 44-yard touchdown pass to win the game as time expired. Watch the plays here
