College football world roasted Mario Cristobal for Miami’s disastrous loss to Georgia Tech

Mario Cristobal Georgia Tech Miami Tech Football Christian Leary Hurricanes Oregon (Organization)

WHAT DID MIAMI JUST DO?

When you think you’ve seen it all in college football, the sport delivers again with one of the wildest, most unbelievable game endings ever thanks to head coach Mario Cristobal and the No. 17 Miami Hurricanes.

Miami had a 20-17 lead at the end of the fourth quarter, and all the Hurricanes had to do was take a knee to end it. The game was over. There were 33 seconds left. Just take a knee.

But no, Cristobal and the Hurricanes opted to run the ball instead, and not only did they fumble on an unnecessary play, but they also then gave up the game-winning touchdown.

Georgia Tech quarterback Haynes King first found Malik Rutherford for a 30-yard gain and then connected with an open Christian Leary for a 44-yard touchdown and ultimately a 23-20 Yellow Jackets victory. It was Leary’s only reception of the day.

Simply unbelievable. This has to be one of the worst gaffes in college football history, but this also has to be one of the best calls ever.

Regardless of what Cristobal was thinking in that moment, the college football world absolutely roasted him.
