Following Miami’s 23-20 loss to Georgia Tech in Miami Gardens Florida Miami Head Coach Mario Cristobal had this to say!

“Obviously, again, just fell short in so many different ways. Battled. There were some signs of life. Not having a great first half, but coming out in the second half, doing some things and falling behind and getting up again. And then, at the end of the game, had a chance to put it away and should have just taken a timeout right there and recalibrate. Just take a knee. Gave them a chance and they took advantage of it and scored. It’s that simple.”
