Miami and Mario Cristobal subtly get called out by Nick Saban on College GameDay

Miami fans saw ESPN once again spotlight the Hurricanes' 2023 loss to Georgia Tech — the end-game sequence when Miami, leading with under a minute left, ran the ball instead of kneeling, fumbled, and watched the Yellow Jackets win on a 44-yard strike with two seconds remaining.

What adds a fresh layer in 2025 is the presence of Nick Saban on ESPN’s College GameDay. The seven-time national champion joined the network as an analyst in February 2024, and his weekly film-room style breakdowns have become a recurring feature of the show. When ESPN revisits pivotal situational moments from recent seasons, Saban remains blunt with his criticism.
