Miami declines to take a knee and it costs them the game vs. Georgia Tech | ESPN College Football

With under a minute left in the game and Miami up 3, the Hurricanes decided to run the ball instead of taking a knee. Miami’s Donald Chaney Jr. fumbles the ball and it gets recovered by Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets then score the game-winning touchdown with a second to play.

Genius by the coach. He was going to lose a lot of money with inside betting at Vegas so he pulled the last minute fumble to save his bets. Great thinking.

Curious decision for the G-Tech WR to slide into the end zone instead of just safely running it in. Imagine the story if Leary had slide just a fraction of a second earlier and downed himself before scoring the go-ahead touchdown. Then it'd be the the TWO dumbest decisions of the year in the same game.

At home, too. In front of a packed house for Miami with tens of fans watching in disbelief.

Nebraska (2015-2022): We've lost in every way possible.
The U (2023): Hold our beer!

Im usually the type of person that’s annoyed by kneeling but now that i’ve seen this i’ll never complain again jesus 😂

[pete]

This is a historic F-up. This will be played for decades on all time low-light reels

[loh]

To everyone who called you crazy for saying rigged

After seeing this I now believe that I can coach college football. Try and convince me otherwise.

[ramspencer]

Just to be clear. This is a repeat offense! Mario lost the Ducks a game against Stanford by not taking a knee as well!

[alonzokincaid]

Theres no way the offensive coordinator and the head coach made a mistake. No ones that stupid. They threw the game. Its that vegas money!

[OvSpP]

It’s giving Miracle at the Meadowlands.… but Miami.

[marshmutt]

I honestly think the runner was down but the refs gave Teck the ball on sheer principle of Miami's stupidity.

The situation is 3rd and 10 with 35 seconds in the game. Miami has a 3 point lead and can intentionally down the ball 1 time and the game is over. When the fumble occurs, Miami coach just assumes they will win anyway. Yellow Jackets stung them in the Hurricane!

[RCmack]

Georgia Tech needed a stunning win over a conference opponent after losing at home to Bowling Green the week before.

[ConnorMiller]

That’s the most Miami thing ever. First it was Notre Dame putting 10 players on the goal line, then it was Kentucky just applying multiple cheap shots, and now Miami doesn’t kneel the ball and winds up losing. These coaches should be fired for idiocracy.

[willn-a]

Im firing everything breathing down to the janitor, cnt happen

[claiborneeastjr]

What a great win for the Rambling Wreck! They earned it - fair and square with great play calling and execution!

[OutgrownThings]

Look, I recognize this was a colossally stupid decision by the coach, but I think we should give credit where it’s due and give GT props for recognizing the situation and making such an incredible play in the last gasp moment.

[demitirusmcneal]

Miami university should be ashamed of themselves for running the ball on 3rd instead taking a knee. They deserve to be punished and embarrassed.

These commentators didn’t sell this enough. Where’s Jim Ross when you need him?
