Carson Beck etched his name in Miami and college football lore forever Thursday night when he ran in an epic game-winning touchdown that led to the Hurricanes defeating Ole Miss to advance to the College Football Playoff national championship game.
Miami advances to play for a title on its home field of Hard Rock Stadium on Jan. 19 against the winner of Friday night’s clash between Indiana and Oregon. Beck led the Hurricanes on a 75-yard drive that resulted in the game-winning score with just 18 seconds left to put Miami up 31-27. As Ole Miss’s defense covered the Miami receivers in the end zone on a second-and-goal play from the 3-yard line, Beck saw the left side of the field wide open and ran in untouched for the go-ahead touchdown.
