With athletic director Dan Radakovich making a rare appearance at a football press conference Monday, Mario Cristobal and his coordinators took ownership for the Hurricanes’ epic late-game meltdown in an embarrassing loss to over the weekend. Here’s what was said: Cristobal said he “made the wrong call” not taking a knee when the Hurricanes had a 20-17 lead, possession of the ball with under 40 seconds to play and the Yellow Jackets out of timeouts.
I wish we would have done something different but we didn’t. So gotta live with it. It was the wrong thing to do.” Even after Georgia Tech recovered the fumble, the Yellow Jackets had only 26 seconds and 74 yards to go to win the game. Miami defensive coordinator Lance Guidry said he called for regular coverage out of the team’s base defense to try and prevent the Yellow Jackets from getting into field goal range. Georgia Tech reached the Miami 44 with 10 seconds to play.
