Eye on the U: Reflecting on Hurricanes’ year after title game loss and what’s next
What a season it was for the Miami Hurricanes.
Thirteen wins. Their first College Football Playoff appearance. A magical run to the national championship game.
But the final image of an otherwise remarkable campaign is one that will sting.
The Hurricanes nearly won their sixth national title and first since the 2001 season but fell short, 27-21, against the top-ranked Indiana Hoosiers, who completed an undefeated season and remarkable story in their own right.
So how will this season be remembered? And what does it mean for the program moving forward under coach Mario Cristobal?
On the latest episode of Eye on the U, Miami Herald Hurricanes beat writer Jordan McPherson and deputy sports editor Andre C. Fernandez recap the title game, the season and the program’s future.
