University of Miami head coach Mario Cristobal is on the hot seat after his latest bizarre decision.
While up three points on third down with 42 seconds left in the game and Georgia Tech without timeouts, Cristobal decided to run the ball instead of kneeling. Miami ended up fumbling the ball and Georgia Tech was able to capitalize.
All Miami had to do was take a knee and the game was over.
They instead handed it off to their RB. He fumbled and Georgia Tech recovered.
Georgia Tech scored 32 seconds later with just 2 second left.
Just absolutely brutal.

Moments later, Georgia Tech converted a game-winning touchdown from mid-field with one second to go in the game.

Apparently, this isn’t the first time Cristobal has cost his team a game by not kneeling the ball at the end of a game.
Back in 2018, Oregon fumbled with 51 seconds left which allowed Stanford to get game-tying FG & wins 38-31 in OT
