Mario Cristobal you are saved from most embarrassing loss

No way, the no kneel was way worse. They literally had a 100% chance to win if they just kneeled.

I disagree NC state was intentionally trying to force a safety. Cristobal was still trying to have positive yardage.

Kneeldowns aren’t 100% either. The Giants blew it when they were doing the 80s equivalent of taking a knee.

The giants didnt take a knee for miracle in the meadowlands.

For the millionth time 😂 that wasn’t a kneel down. The knee down became common place because of that incident.

I think Okie State did it once 20 years ago in a game. Otherwise it’s virtually never happened in about half a century.

Nah, there's not a regular consensus play to run 6 seconds off the clock to end the game from your own 7. All Miami had to do was kneel and the game ends but they ran with their RB with absolutely no reason to and fumbled

The Miami loss was definitely worse. NC State called the correct play but Bailey was unaware and botched it. Miami both called the wrong play and botched it.
