The Miami Hurricanes had to sweat it out till the final whistle, however in the finish “The U” prevailed over Ole Miss and will play in the College Football Playoff championship game.
Hurricanes quarterback Carson Beck and head coach Mario Cristobal spoke on the subject instantly after the game as the confetti rained down.
“It’s the best feeling I’ve ever had in my life,” Beck mentioned to broadcaster ESPN of his feelings as he ran in the game-winning landing.
The game became a slugfest in the final minutes after beginning out as a defensive battle early.
Beck was requested about his message to his offense after falling behind with simply over three minutes remaining in the game.
“‘We got three minutes for the rest of our life,’” Beck answered. “’Don’t s**t else matter’ – sorry, I don’t mean to cuss, emotions are rolling, but nothing else matters. ‘We got three minutes to go through this, and everything we worked for since January, everything we’ve been through, all the adversity that we faced all comes down to three minutes in the semifinals.’”
“You play this game for moments like these, you live for moments like these!” Beck added later.
Cristobal was keen to heap reward on his group however was already trying ahead to a showdown with the winner of Friday’s game between the Oregon Ducks and the top-ranked Indiana Hoosiers.
“I want to give a ton of credit to our players,” Cristobal informed ESPN. “I can’t even let you know what number of of our guys have been sick, had the flu, had points, and all they stored speaking about was ‘we’re gonna discover a approach.’
“We focused of course on enjoying this one, but we gotta get focused on ‘1-0’ one more time.”
