Canes Warning • • sports
Key Points:
- Miami Hurricanes narrowly lost the national title game to Indiana, 27-21, marking their first title appearance since 2002, with key mistakes on special teams contributing to the defeat.
- Special teams coordinator Danny Kalter's unit struggled significantly, including a missed 50-yard field goal by Carter Davis and a blocked punt returned for a touchdown by Indiana's Dylan Joyce, resulting in a critical 10-point swing.
- Despite Kalter's strong ties to Miami and past success, these miscues highlighted lapses in focus and execution that ultimately cost the Hurricanes the game.
- Miami's reputation for reliable special teams play, emphasized by previous coaches Mark Richt and Manny Diaz, was challenged in this loss, raising questions about the current unit
