Why did Miami run the ball with 34 seconds left in the game when the opposing team had no timeouts?
By: Clark Kinney
If you haven’t already heard, Miami lost to Georgia Tech this past Saturday. It was an awful loss though, not because they played particularly bad, but rather because of an awful coaching decision made by the Miami staff that ultimately cost them the win. The undefeated Miami Hurricanes were winning and looking to improve to 5-0 on the season up 20-17 with 34 seconds left in the game, only needing to take a knee. However, the coaches decided to run the ball and the running back fumbled, giving Georgia Tech the ball with 26 seconds left and no timeouts. Four quick plays later, Georgia Tech scored and won the game.
Miami had opted not to kneel the ball in every one of their first four games this year and they had won all four, but those games were not one score games like the Georgia Tech game. Miami’s head coach is Mario Cristobal, and he takes full ownership in the play call and loss. Perhaps the craziest part about all of this is that the exact same thing had happened to Coach Cristobal before. Coach Cristobal was the head coach at Oregon in 2018 when they were winning by 3 against Stanford with the ball, chose not to kneel to secure the win, ran a play, fumbled, Stanford tied the game, and then Oregon lost in overtime.
Why would you not just take a knee and secure the win? I simply do not know. Did they not have Victory Formation in the playbook? I don’t know either. What I do know is that Georgia Tech is not very good, and Miami will likely now not have a chance in making the College Football Playoff. On ESPN’s “First Take” earlier I heard one of the people say not only will they not have a chance to make the College Football Playoff, but that play call also cost the school millions of dollars because of the money that comes from winning and being a College Football Playoff contender.
If I were Miami’s athletic director, I was seriously consider firing Coach Cristobal. I would, at least have him on a short leash and tell him if you lose 2-3 more you are done. He should be undefeated right know, and that is the only reason I would most likely not fire him immediately.

Can Clemson squeak out a home win against Florida State this week?
by Jones DesChamps
Simply put, yes. Clemson has won the last 7 against the Seminoles, and the Tigers could keep that streak alive. Although Florida State certainly has a high powered offense and a keen special teams unit, their defense is subpar. The media has shined light on Jordan Travis, Keon Coleman, and Johnny Wilson, but no one will discuss the defensive problems with the road team this week.
This fraudulent defense ranks at 81st in opposing yards per game and 84th in opposing yards per play. Yes, the Clemson offense is up in the air, but it doesn’t take a phenomenal offense to dice up that type of defense. However they seem sloppy, this young Tiger offense ranks inside of the top 30 in yards per rush and the same in 3rd down conversions. Clemson not only has a chance this week, but may be able to overwhelm this FSU defense.
This is not the only reason, though. Clemson is hosting Florida State in Death Valley to which they haven’t lost to FSU at home since 2013. That, of course, was led by Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Jameis Winston. Clemson still holds 11 straight 10 plus win seasons and seemingly never loses at home, losing less than 5 home games since 2015. With their backs against the wall, I believe the Tigers have a fighting chance to take down the Seminoles this week in dramatic fashion to enter their name back into the playoff hunt.

T&B Picks College Football Preview Show (Week 3)
Episode 1 (Week 3)

These three genius minds combine their impeccable football knowledge to form their picks for the important games on the gridiron.

Lastly but certainly not least, these analysts pick their “big dogs” for the week, which outlines the unexpected upsets and miracles that will shock the world on the field. This week, the entire crew picked the Clemson Tigers, Tennessee Volunteers, Georgia Bulldogs, and Colorado Buffaloes to handle business over their respected opponents. Much controversy arose later in the podcast when the boys split up their minds in difference while picking the winners of the Mississippi State versus LSU game and the Missouri versus Kansas State showdown.
Are the Colorado Buffaloes a legit college football playoff contender?
To put it shortly, no. However, they are a very good college football team and anything can happen. Here’s why the Buffaloes will not make the college football playoff:
They have one of the hardest schedules in college football including Oregon, USC, Oregon State, UCLA, Washington State, and Utah. These are all currently top 25 teams in the country including 5th ranked USC, 12th ranked Utah, and 13th ranked Oregon. With only four teams making the college football playoff, it is very difficult to get in with one loss, but it can be done and usually happens with one out of the four teams per year. Making the college football playoff with two losses is unheard of and has never been done in the four team college football playoff era. I have my doubts about Colorado being able to beat Oregon, Utah, and especially USC.
Colorado opened the season by stunning everyone and beating TCU 45-42 who was a top 25 team to start the year but dropped after the loss. It was a great win for Colorado nonetheless, but TCU is just not that good and Colorado’s defense gave up 42 points to them. That is the real kicker, the Buffalo’s defense. Offensively, they have weapons including Deion Sander’s son, Sheduer Sanders, a four star running back out of high school, Dylan Edwards, and a five star out of high school and receiver and corner, Travis Hunter. Defensively, Travis Hunter is a very good defensive back but personally, no one else jumps out to me. After allowing 42 points in week one, Colorado’s defense responded in week 2 by holding Nebraska to only 14 points. However, Nebraska’s offensive coordinator is Marcus Satterfield who was the Offensive coordinator at South Carolina last year but was fired for doing an awful job. The only reason the Buffaloes held Nebraska to 14 points is because Nebraska’s offense, along with their offensive coordinator, is terrible.
The Colorado Buffaloes will not make the college football playoff and are not a legit team due to their mediocre defense.
