Miami vs Virginia game ending was a Nebraska-esque way to lose a game

[hothouse_corn]

I tuned in with Miami down 28-30 with about 4:50 left on the clock. They're on their own side of the field, punch it down to the red zone. Milk the clock and run three running plays up the gut for one yard.

Three seconds left, they attempt a chipshot that bounces of the upright. No good.

I'm not sure if it will make bad beats because I don't know the spread or the O/U, but that ending will probably be somehow eclipsed by Nebraska in two days. Fingers crossed that I'm wrong.

Well at least we are not the only ones.

Miami has really fucking flopped hard so far this year. I thought they looked like they were making solid progress last year... pretty surprised they been eating turds this year.

Miami is really bad this season. The circumstances of the loss do seem Husker-esque, but their effort level and defensive fundamentals are atrocious.

The Canes lead Power 5 football in missed tackles by a very wide margin.

I'll never quite understand how it's possible for Miami and FSU to be as bad as they are with the Recruiting options they have

If we were the defense in that situation we would absolutely never be lucky enough to have the guy miss.

I understand not wanting to give the ball back to Virginia, but I thought it was really stupid to not try to score a TD. The Miami D had been playing better the second half and Virginia's offense was struggling the second half. Plus Virginia would have had to score a TD to respond if Miami scored. Playing for a FG seemed like an incredibly stupid thing to do.

FSU yes, Miami not so much. Unless things have been upgraded recently, their facilities are bottom tier in college football. Literally zero fan support = no revenue and to my knowledge very little booster support when compared to teams like FSU, Nebraska, etc. Couple that with high $ buyouts from several failed coaching hires/fires and you have a recipe for disaster.

Hmmmm, interesting. So they're basically a successful coach away from being back?

I wonder if it's the same donors who bought him out of his temple contract for like $4 million before he even coached a game

was confused by that, too. they didn't even have to do anything fancy, just a qb bootleg or roll out option pass. they basically just forfeited 3 downs and kicked.

Can he coach QB, offensive line, or special teams?
