And the Yellow Jackets followed that up with a 24-second, 74-yard drive, ending in quarterback Haynes King completing a 44-yard touchdown pass to a wide open Christian Leary with one second remaining, giving Tech a 23-20 victory.
What’s even more odd about the ending that dropped Miami to 4-1 is that Cristobal should have had an itchy, déjà vu feeling in the moment. Saturday night wasn’t the first time the 53-year-old coach made such a head-scratcher of a decision.. With under a minute left, Oregon had the ball in a second-and-2 situation with a three-point lead when running back C.J. Verdell reached for a first down that would have sealed the game.
