As bad as that was, Fuente did the same thing

End of the VT-Pitt game in 2016, just needed to take a knee three times. Instead he runs Brendan Motley up the middle three times. Arguably a dumber decision than what happened in the Miami game last night since in VT's case you're running the backup QB into the heart of one of the best run defenses in the country. Of course, thankfully Motley didn't fumble.

What kind of brain dead ass hattery is going on in Miami?

Also weird that the QB and RB did not figure it out, either.

It literally looked like they threw the game on purpose**

CTE from playing days? I got nothing else **
hokiepro • 10/08/23 08:57 AM ET
I turned it off after they got the first down. I thought that was it**

Dang. You missed the Shakespearean downfall.
Truthahn • 10/08/23 10:40 AM ET
how do you not take a knee? explain it to me like i'm a two year old.**
squarerootofone • 10/08/23 08:07 AM ET
I'm convinced they did the math wrong.**
Truthahn • 10/08/23 10:41 AM ET
He's a stinkyhead**

Coach went to the Mike London camp on clock management.**
Hokie Rebel • 10/08/23 07:59 AM ET
even Mike London walks away with a win in that situation**

For many years they were dumb and lucky...things balance out**
Tuckahokie • 10/08/23 07:53 AM ET
That’s why they get the big bucks.**

To add insult to injury, I think the Miami RB's elbow was down
AirForceHokie77 • 10/08/23 07:10 AM ET
Has to be indisputable video evidence to overturn the call on the field.

ACC needs a replay center like the XFL.
Truthahn • 10/08/23 10:23 AM ET
I concur. Miami was stupid. And cudos to GT for not giving up.**
BigDaddyHokie • 10/08/23 07:56 AM ET
Have since seen numerous replays. His elbow was down no question.**

Classy Miami fans throwing objects at the game winning player in the EZ**
Happy Dog • 10/08/23 07:09 AM ET
I can't believe it...why not take a knee?
capitals1 • 10/08/23 05:54 AM ET
miami arrogance at its finest
Mercury • 10/08/23 07:44 AM ET
Might be some fear to correct the coach, too.
Truthahn • 10/08/23 10:34 AM ET
Because they are Miami.
EDGEMAN • 10/08/23 07:33 AM ET
Too bad no one from GT had a turnover chain at that moment. LOL**
Truthahn • 10/08/23 10:35 AM ET
The analytics guy was doing common core math
AirForceHokie77 • 10/08/23 07:12 AM ET
They just had to snap it with less than 40 seconds left.
Truthahn • 10/08/23 10:30 AM ET
Yup, I had them snapping ball between 2-5 seconds on 3rd down. Also
AirForceHokie77 • 10/08/23 10:43 AM ET
This is where an AI assistant coach would come in handy.**
