Miami Hurricanes head coach Mario Cristobal took responsibility for the play-calling blunder that cost the team the game against Georgia Tech.
Miami Hurricanes coach Mario Cristobal had no excuses for the play-calling during the improbable loss to Georgia Tech on Saturday night. Instead of kneeling in the final seconds of the game, Hurricanes running back Don Chaney fumbled the ball. Georgia Tech took over with 26 seconds left, and quarterback Haynes King needed only a few plays to help the Yellow Jackets score a touchdown and win the game.
Miami was stunned. The rest of the college football world was stunned. Cristobal took responsibility on Monday. 'I made the wrong call,' he said. Offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson said he was the one who actually made the decision to run the ball instead of taking a knee. 'What we did at the end was the wrong decision,' Dawson said. 'I called it. It is what it is. I wished we would have done something different, but we didn’t. Got to live with it.
The Hurricanes fell to No. 25 in the AP Top 25 poll. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
