Miami-Georgia Tech, my GOD

Cristobal with an all-time botching. I can't believe what I just watched.

For those who didn't watch... It's 3rd & 12, 0:36 seconds left, Miami has the ball and is up 20-17. Georgia Tech is out of timeouts. A kneel ends the game. Instead, Miami runs the ball. And guess what happens.
That's about as bad a loss as you'll ever see.

Edit: In fairness, I went back and watched (I'll post the Youtube link below) and it was 2nd & 3 with 0:59 left and Stanford had one timeout. If we had kneeled it on 2nd and 3rd down they would've gotten the ball back. In that scenario I think most teams would run for the first.

And Mario will never own it as his mistake. Instead they are going to go to work on their physicality.

Miami likely would have had a 4th down with around 5 seconds left had they kneeled. This is where the "delayed-knee" comes into play on 3rd and 4th down.

I wonder how many HS coaches will end their practices with a Victory Formation session? lol

Haha CMC being CMC. Glad he's gone. We'll see if he can actually rebuild The U.

I think we need to applaud Cristobal. He clearly is not an especially smart person, and yet, he makes millions of dollars each year, and he's doing it legally (I think). Bravo.

There's a clear ceiling with Mario. He can recruit his tail off, which will make Miami quite good every year, but I'll be shocked to see them ever go undefeated.

He needs to coach like Sanders with his microphone up in the air away from his face. Recruit and hire and leave the coaching to the coaches.

I don’t believe so. Pretty sure there was only 34 seconds on the clock when they snapped it, so there wouldn’t have been time to run another play. That’s what makes it so egregious.

It's not a reset to 40 seconds but 25 so depending on how you take the knee depends on how much time would have been left. Some Refs will sprint that ball back and others will let it run out. Even in a worst-case scenario of having to snap the ball on 4th down, you're still left with a QB who can lose yards before throwing it out of the end zone the same way Alabama did at the end of their game.

Feel like I’m crazy here. Why would it reset to 25 and not 40? Almost certain 25 seconds is only after administrative clock stoppages, like injuries, penalties, etc.

We have seen the same ignorance demonstrated by him at Oregon.

No you're right on the 40 seconds, I've watched too much Cristobal apparently :lol:
