Finding the playoffs with last year's whore was an indictment of Mario Cristobal;The list of Thurricans The Redicans is not necessary.
Mario Cristobal was the No. 1 pick in last year's NFL draft, but the waste of his talent is worse in 2025
Missing the playoffs last year with Miami's roster is an indictment of Mario Cristobal.Doing that to the 2025 hurricane roster is unforgivable.
Mario Cristobal has built some of the best rosters in college football over the past two years in Miami.But somehow, time after time, the Hurricanes keep finding ways to lose.On Saturday against SMU, No. 10 Miami's 26-20 overtime loss was just another devastating finish to a game "The U" should have won.
Miami had a chance to close out the game after SMU came up short in the fourth quarter.Instead, as they have for many years under Cristobal, the hurricanes are in terms of the most important times and small depressions.
Miami made an unattainable player downfield, a false start and a catch during eight drives.Then, after taking SMU on 4th-and-9, lineman Marquise Lightfoot spoiled the storms by hitting mburback Kevin Jennings after a timeout, leading to the man of the field that sent him.It's a distraction that could have been Miami for years.
OT, Miami was on the 10 yard line and could put pressure on the field goal.On his touchdown, quarterback Carson Beck was fed into Mamachi Tey, and Ahmah Moses easily read the play to play Nab.SMU was content to run and set up field goals to win, but the Mustangs were simply pushed into the end zone by Miami's defense.
After going on the road and beating No. 18 Florida on Oct. 4, the road to the college football playoffs was easy.The Hurricanes had wins over No. 6 Notre Dame, No.18 South Florida and No.18 Florida State.No other game was against a ranked opponent, setting up a realistic chance to finish the year undefeated.
In fact, Miami's season ended on November 1. This is impossible to change this year.
Also, a second loss will likely knock them out of the playoffs.Both ACCUS teams had less than two losses in the conference last year.All six No. 1 teams have one loss or fewer, including top-seeded Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech.
Last year, No. 1 Miami is the first pick in the 2025 NFL draft in Waron Ward, who lost the last three games in the last show. However, this year's drop is even more, and it is certainly expected for Cristobal's team.
Miami had incredible players on the team last year, but they often played close calls.The offense was one of the best in the country, but the defense was notoriously a liability.Foster was called upon to save it on several big occasions, led by a Hail Mary against Virginia Tech.
In 2025, there are no real holes in this group.Defensive backs Resuben Bain and Akeenem Mcidor continue to improve.The defense allowed 11 yards per game against any team that scored 24 or fewer points under first-year coordinator Corey Heatherman.Georgia Beck played well, while the offensive value is among the offensive value is among the best in the country.Tony is the best productive receiver in the United States, especially after his efforts against the Giants.
Miami Ranks 3 in the field in the country. Hire one of the top coordinators in the market. and find a proven method of math. All of them work but because of poor performance and porn late in the game. So the storm is also wondering what will happen.
Cristobal is one of the best on the national roster, spending the most dollars to bring back Miami.But until his teams complete their highlights, the sport's top echelon will remain out of reach.
