Miami started at their own 30 with just five minutes left. First play? A swing 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!

It was the same back breaking drive we saw vs UF too. Similar fashion in A&M game.

Sometimes it just comes down to who wants it more. For as good of a recruiter that Mario is, his psychological game might be better. When I saw his pregame speech with ESPN I knew it was a wrap.

Players take after their coach
