It's crazy how He said " if you go undefeated in the ACC your'e gonna nake the playoffs" then that same season Florida stats goes undefeated and misses the playoff

As a lifelong Georgia Tech fan (and now alum), this was such a fantastic ending! I had given up after Miami got that 1st down with 2 minutes left, and I walked upstairs to change out of the jersey I was wearing. When I walked back down to see the game end, I saw the ball in the arms of one of our defenders and thought, "There's no way that just happened! Why didn't they just take a knee?" We still had to go 74 yards in 26 seconds, but at least we had a shot. And when Haynes King found Christian Leary wide open for the game-winning touchdown, I fell to the floor in overwhelming joy and hysterical laughter! "HOW DID WE JUST SCORE!?!? IT WAS OVER!!! THEY SHOULD HAVE JUST TAKEN A KNEE!!" I'll take it, especially after that humiliating loss to Bowling Green the week before. Hopefully Brent Key has us going in the right direction, and we can start being a serious football team again. Go Jackets!

If you go undefeated in the ACC, you're going to make the playoffs-Jaguar, October 10th, 2023

Turned this game off after the last Miami first down, thinking mathematically there was no way for GT to comeback so it wasn’t worth watching since I had no dog in the fight. This is a great example of how making good / correct decisions is only an option, not forced

I read somewhere that if a team is leading, has the ball, there is less than 40 seconds left, and the opposing the team has no timeouts, there is a 99.9% chance that the team with ball wins the game. Miami decided to try for 0.1%...and succeeded.

'If I had a nickel for every time Mario Christable screwed up a game by not taking a knee, I'd have two nickles!'....Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha

Can we talk about the defensive play calling by miami on GTs miracle win? IMO it’s as bad as the decision to not kneel. Last play snaps from the 50 with 10 seconds left no TOs. Sure you don’t want them to get into FG range but an FG puts it in OT where Miami is going to win most of the time. You just can’t let them score a TD and somehow a GT WR gets behind miamis entire def? They should have had 4 DBs standing on the goal line

I was waiting for this one. I knew as soon as i saw the decision that you would make this.

"Hey Rock, why doesn't Kaep come play in the XFL?" "He doesn't want anything to do with us U guys, we don't take knees"

The only possible explanation you could *ever* have for doing this is your running back had like 98 yards and you wanted to give him his first 100 yard game (and that was *not* the case here). And for the Miracle at the Meadowlands, the QB kneel down wasn't a recognized play until 1985. Before then, you had to run a legit play because the whistle wouldn't blow until the QB got hit.

The biggest victim in all of this was that assistant coach with the handlebar mustache. A handlebar mustache looks cool when you're winning, but when you lose like this, it just looks downright silly.

I don't understand how highly paid head coaches, who are, one assumes, highly prepared in every area of the game, can screw up something as simple as basic clock management. They're coaching major college (or pro) football, which very few people can do, yet screw up decisions that every person watching the game could make correctly. It's amazing to me.

7:23 Somehow this ended up not being true.

I remember Bears-Browns 12/15/13. Michael Bush for the Bears scores a 40 yard TD with two minutes left to give them a 14-point lead. At the time, I recall the Bears could have run the clock out if Bush stopped short of the goal line. The Browns did score once more, but the Bears recovered the onside kick to hold on for the win.

If they don't believe in Cristobal now, you're going to be correct. I remember the year the Cowboys won their last Super Bowl and Barry Switzer was the coach. He went for a fourth down deep in his own territory and lost a game he might have won by punting. But after it was over, every man on the team they asked defended Switzer. They still believed in him, and saw it as he'd shown confidence in them and they had failed, not him. I told a friend, "Switzer lost that game, but he just won the Super Bowl. Wait and see." Dallas didn't lose again that season.

This also isn't 1990. Miami was accused of running up the score for style points on multiple occasions in seasons where they were not ranked #1 at certain times of the year.

Next season’s recruiting situation is gonna play out like this Cristobal: so what do you say, kid, wanna join Miami U and play for us? Recruit: nah, coach, I’m gonna take a knee on this one, and join Ga Tech(or really anyone else) see you on the field.

Busy with watching wrestling this is the 1st time ive heard and seen this

This was a really dumb decision 😂😆 what was the coach thinking just take a knee the game is over

Wow. An actual JG8 video. What's it been - a year?

If you go undefeated in the acc you make the playoffs is someone gonna tell him

This was dumber that Derek Fooley's struggles with counting to 11 or Botch Jones' teams struggling to score with a first-and-goal from the 1.

The *OOOOOOOOOONLY*, and I mean only, slight arguement I could make is that he's wanting to run the ball so they don't have to snap the ball right on 1 second left. But even then, a delay of game means nothing but a few more seconds of gametime. And if you do end up with, let's say, 43 seconds left after taking the knee on 3rd, just have the QB run around a little before kneeing it the last time.

I'm impressed you stretched this to 14:51

Not sure that guys name but the guy near the coach has a super cool mustache

In addition to other considerations when the knee goes down in college football the play is automatically over. The player with the ball doesn’t have to get touched, unlike the NFL.

The notion that they hadn't taken a knee yet this season is kinda irrelevant. Of the previous four games, their closest win was 15 points. I'm guessing Miami probably had some second stringers in there. Also, it's not exactly a play that requires a lot of practice. Unless you're pinned up against your own goal line, taking a knee requires fielding the snap and going to the ground.
