US EditionNo. 10 Miami's Margin for Error Is Gone After Critical Mistakes in 26-20 OT Loss to SMU
Marquise Lightfoot's penalty and key interceptions led to SMU's 26-20 overtime win, despite a disputed missed field goal call by officials.
- On Saturday, SMU Mustangs won 26-20 in overtime, defeating Miami Hurricanes after T.J. Harden's 1-yard run ended the game.
- A controversial no-call on a 42-yarder set the stage for overtime as SMU kicker Sam Keltner's attempt sailed over the right upright but was ruled no good, then he made a 38-yard tying field goal with 25 seconds left.
- Late in regulation a penalty on Marquise Lightfoot extended SMU's drive, while Kevin Jennings played through injury and Ahmaad Moses intercepted Carson Beck in overtime.
- The loss further damages Miami Hurricanes' College Football Playoff hopes and narrows their margin for error, with Mario Cristobal blaming 12 penalties for 96 yards.
- NCAA rules say the crossbar and uprights are treated as a line, and Rhett Lashlee, SMU coach, protested the non-reviewable call while Jerry McGinn, ESPN rules analyst, said it `goes directly over the upright`.
