News about Mario Cristobal

Cam McCormick, the Miami tight end, has been allowed a record ninth year of college eligibility for this upcoming season with the Hurricanes after missing the majority of four seasons due to leg and foot injuries. By the NCAA last year, the 25-year-old Hurricane had already been allowed to play for his ninth college season, with Miami's conference approving his suspension this week. The NCAA has traditionally granted four years of eligibility for its athletes. If athletes were actively enrolling in a member school during the 2020-2021 year, the conglomerate gave them a significant option for a fifth year of eligibility.

In the final seconds of Miami's second defeat to Georgia Tech, head coach Mario Cristobal accepts full responsibility for the Hurricanes' failure not to take a knee. Despite offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson's admission that he actually called the play in which the ball was fumbled away, Cristobal accepts responsibility. Cristobal confessed that 'I made the wrong call.' Miami could have run out the clock in victory formation and taken a knee to effectively end the game, but decided against calling a running match instead.

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.

With 1:33 left in the fourth quarter of the Hurricanes' victory over Texas A&M on Saturday in South Florida, the 20-year-old, who is in his junior season with Miami, appeared to suffer a serious injury. The All-American safety was attempting to make a tackle on the play but after colliding with Aggies receiver Ainias Smith, he was practically motionless on the turf. The Hurricanes will win by two points, 48-33, to move to 2-0, while the Aggies will fall to 1-1 on the year.

Not since Boston and Los Angeles in 2020 has the sports world's attention and curiosity been so concentrated on one area of America as Florida in 2023. The Boston Red Sox were reigning World Series champions, the New England Patriots were Super Bowl champions, and the Boston Bruins had reached the Stanley Cup Finals by the summer of 2019. The following year was devoted to Los Angeles, where the Dodgers snapped a 32-year championship drought ended and the Lakers claimed their first NBA title in the bubble.

When the games chosen for Games of the Week turn out to be spectacular, there is a sense of pride. The volleyball match between Alabama and Texas was a blast last week, with BYU beating Baylor in double overtime, Florida's hype train came to a halt against Kentucky, and the Vols beat Pittsburgh. And the honorable mentions were also amusing, with Washington State winning over a then-ranked No. 11 in the United States. The 19 Wisconsin team was founded. It was the Cougars' first regular season game over a ranked non-conference opponent since 2009, but it was the Cougars' first regular season victory over a ranked non-conference opponent since losing No. 22 on Monday. This week, 17 Colorado teenagers turned 19 years old.

We're officially underway with the start of the college football season! All the teams in the FBS are playing in the first time in months as games were played last Saturday, what is known as 'Week Zero.' Welcome to College Football Games of the Week, a collection of DailyMail.com's Best of the Week, in which we take a look at the five most popular games around the FBS universe as part of the transition to the college football playoffs. The next two weeks will all have a different agenda. They will not necessarily be ranked teams vs. ranked teams vs. ranked teams. We'll occasionally have matchups with long histories or even recent histories of epic matchups.

After months of turmoil, a transfer portal full of surprises, and the possibility of a conference re-alignment nightmare, college football season has arrived. We will now put an end to months of speculating and watching some children clash on some of America's biggest stages. This is part four of the DailyMail.com's five-part series dedicated to previewing all of the Power Five conferences in the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS).

This is part of the Daily Mail's five-part series dedicated to previewing all of the Power Five conferences in Division I FBS football. We'll be looking at the 14-teams of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), led by a Clemson Tigers team that is all human after a three-loss season in 2021. They may have missed their first ACC Championship since 2014, but make no mistake: the ACC is also Clemson's conference. QB D.J. Uiagalelei was about as inconsistent as his receivers and offensive line were, and the lessons they learned while losing three games last season ( gasp! ) As a unit, this could help them develop. And if Uiagalelei suffers again, as he did last with just 57% of his passes, top recruit Cade Klubnik is still waiting in the wings.
