Mario Cristobal came to Miami saying he wanted to build a championship team. That final drive against Ohio State yesterday? It was exactly what he meant.
The Hurricanes just ran down Ohio State’s throat, taking their time, advancing every third down, and managing the clock. When Miami punched it was a statement. This is the kind of football Cristobal promised, and yesterday, we saw it live.
This is championship football. This is Miami. “Pound, Pound, Pound” as Mario says.
Miami started at their own 30 with just five minutes left. First play? A inside handoff to Mark Fletcher, and he found the hole, turning it into a huge 20-yard gain that gave the Hurricanes all the momentum.
From there, Miami just kept picking apart Ohio State’s defense. Every down mattered, and they didn’t waste a single one. Backup running back Marty Brown came up huge on key plays and punched it in for the touchdown, putting Miami up 24-14.
That drive wasn’t just effective—it was the game. Clock management, third-down conversions, and big plays when it counted. That’s exactly the kind of finish championship teams make.
Go Hurricanes!
