College Football World Reacts to Miami’s Stunning Loss

No. 17 Miami had a win all but locked up Saturday night against visiting Georgia Tech.

Holding possession and a 20-17 lead over the Yellow Jackets, Miami needed only to take a knee and let the final 30 seconds tick off the clock. Georgia Tech was out of timeouts and had no way to stop the clock.

Instead, Miami called a run, fumbled the ball, and on the ensuing possession, let Georgia Tech score to win the game, 23-20.

It was a stunning, and entirely unnecessary turn of events that left college football fans across the country wondering what the heck just happened.

Across social media, people searched for answers.

Miami coach Mario Cristobal will have some explaining to do this week.

The Hurricanes dropped to 4-1 overall and 0-1 in ACC play. Georgia Tech improved to 3-3 and 2-1 ACC.
