With a 20-17 lead and the clock ticking down to 35 seconds in the fourth quarter, Georgia Tech coach Brent Key told reporters that he expected Miami to take a knee on offense with a 20-17 lead and the clock ticking down to 35 seconds. 'We should have taken a knee,' Hurricanes coach Mario Cristobal said to reporters, 'We should have taken a knee.' Rather, Miami's second-year head coach made what ESPN announcer Tim Hasselbeck described as the'most disappointing coaching decision' he's ever seen on a football field. Miami lost the ball, Hurricane Don Chaney's running back lost a fumble, and a report determined the turnover. The Yellow Jackets then went 74 yards in 24 seconds, culminating with Haynes King's game-winning, 44-yard touchdown pass to Christian Leary with two seconds remaining. The final score: Georgia Tech 23, Miami 20.
