Miami’s back was against the wall.
With just more than three minutes left in regulation at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., the Miami Hurricanes went down three to the Ole Miss Rebels following a 24-yard touchdown from Dae’Quan Wright.
It came down to Carson Beck to lead his Hurricane team to their first national championship appearance in 23 years.
On second and goal from the Ole Miss three-yard line, Beck avoided pressure, rolled to his left and found nothing but green grass as he scampered into the end zone untouched to give the Hurricanes a five-point lead with 18 seconds left.
