Miami coach Mario Cristobal says he is “beyond upset” and “disappointed” after officials disallow what appeared to be a potential, late game-tying touchdown in the Hurricanes’ 31-24 loss to Notre Dame on Saturday night.
Across the two reports, both outlets describe a brief moment in which Miami seemed to have scored, only for officials to rule the touchdown would not count. ESPN emphasizes Cristobal’s reaction, focusing on his frustration with the officiating decision in the closing stages of the game. The Athletic instead highlights the decision itself as a turning point, describing the coach’s disappointment and framing his stance as part of what teams “get” from officiating.
