MIAMI HURRICANES suffer devastating 26-20 overtime loss to SMU, marking another November collapse. Is MARIO CRISTOBAL's $61 million buyout the only thing keeping him in Coral Gables?

ALEX DONNO breaks down the HURRICANES' crushing defeat, exposing the fatal flaws that have plagued this talented roster all season. The discussion covers MIAMI's shocking 124th national ranking in penalties per game, CARSON BECK's struggles, and the team's dismal 4-9 November record under CRISTOBAL. Key topics include the coaching philosophy that shortens games despite superior talent, offensive coordinator changes on the horizon, and why benching BECK for EMORY WILLIAMS isn't the answer yet. DONNO analyzes the paradox of an elite offensive line featuring future NFL draft picks like FRANCIS MALINOA that simultaneously leads the nation in pass protection while committing unforgivable penalties, plus what the remaining five games mean for foundational players returning next season.

Don't miss this brutally honest assessment of where MIAMI HURRICANES football stands and what realistic changes can be made moving forward.
