The Miami Hurricanes fought through a penalty-filled night, a late targeting ejection that had Mario Cristobal fuming, and a fourth-quarter shootout to get past Ole Miss 31-27 on Thursday night in the Fiesta Bowl.

With 8:54 left in regulation, Miami defensive back Xavier Lucas was ejected for targeting after a hit on Ole Miss wide receiver Cayden Lee. Officials reviewed it and upheld the call, sending Lucas to the locker room and sending Miami fans and coaches into a full-blown protest.
