It’s fitting that one of the Miami’s best players, star wide receiver Malachi Toney, had program legend Ed Reed by his side after losing the national championship to Indiana on Monday night. What was less fitting—quite literally—was the ridiculously big hat Reed decided to wear while walking Toney down the players’ tunnel.
Toney enjoyed a productive outing with 10 catches for 122 yards and one touchdown in the 27-21 loss, but he and the Hurricanes ultimately fell short of toppling the dominant Hoosiers, who were able to close out their magical storybook run by clinching college football’s biggest prize.
