Miami Hurricanes vs. Pittsburgh Panthers | Full Game Highlights | ESPN College Football

Great day for football here in the Steel City and Miami right on the college football playoff bubble. They must win today to keep their hopes alive. They take on a pit team though that upset Georgia Tech last week on the road. And Pit still a slim chance to make the college football playoff. Mario, one of the best offensive linemen that the University of Miami has seen. You see him out there. He’s just got a long sleeve in the in the polo shirt on. and he is ready to battle. His team will be too. Will Dpan get a chance at a return? He will not. Miami won the toss and deferred. So Pit starts with the football. Malachi Tony takes the wildat snap and has a first down as a starter on the Dline as well. Beck back to throw right through the hands of Marriott. CJ Daniels in motion. Here comes the blitz. Under pressure is back. The blitz is set down. Now he stumbles and goes down at the 37 ball back. You’re going to see Isaiah Neil here on the stunt. Just going to loop inside. You’re going to get a linebacker fire as well down in the A gap. And you’re just going to see Neil come free right in the B gap. You see he’s unblocked. Mark Fletcher gets eaten up by the linebacker pressure in the A gap as well. That’s just a nice coordinated blitz scheme. Any hidden yardage that they don’t deserve and earn on their own. Outwards pass to Malach Tony. He turns up field and has a first down for Pit because they’re thin on the defensive line right now. There’s Tony making a catch, breaking a tackle, lowering his shoulder and picking up nine more. It’s those yards after contact gain extra yardage. First down for Fletcher. Screen Tony breaking tackles. I think he’s got a first down. Flag thrown though from the secondary. Blocker downfield. Personal foul. Illegal block below the waist. Defense number three. 23. 15 yd penalty. Automatic first down. Beck back to throw. Escapes the pocket. Spins and goes nowhere. And then pays the price. Rashe Biles wrapped up Beck. He up his process but got to take care of number 10. Beck finds a crosser. It’s Keenan Marriott and he is tackled before the 10 yd line and he will get Miami on the board. Offense double clutch to the near side and that’s knocked away intended. Here they come. Throwing right behind the blitz is Heinchell. Oh, he needed that favor. Makes much more favorable third down situation. Going backwards though as Hines show and he sidearms one intended for Williams and you can see it’s Bryce Fitzgerald coming off the top of your screen right here that really messes with Hitchel’s line of sight. He can’t let the ball go when he wants to. He has the receiver open where he if he could get the ball out on time but again the ball they do on fourth and one and up the middle getting grabbed around the waist and dragged back was Lucy Turner. Did he get there? The officials running in from either side. Well, they are going to mark the football right on the line to gain and they are going to give Pit the first down. Wants to quickly snap it before the spot can be reviewed. They get that snap off now. The play blown dead. Listen in to the ACC game day operation center in Charlotte as they talk this over with our referee Riley Johnson. Okay guys, the ruling on the field is the line the gain was made. Okay. and Riley, take a look right behind the Miami players, the running back right in the middle of the screen. We’re going to go forward. There’s the ball. The ball’s going to be right there. And he is. After further review, the ruling on the field is upheld and there is no foul for illegal substitution. Pushed out. Gets it off. Well protected. He’s going to take a shot. Looking for Poppy Williams. Incomplete. Couldn’t hold on. emptying the back field. Eachel spins out on the move on second down and 10. He’s going to tuck it under and run. Oh, does he get walloped after a gain of six 10? Hand it off to Jules Goff. Spin cycle. He’s got the first down and a big push to midfield. And now Pitts on the move and they go up tempo again. Blue Hicks, the intended receiver. He’s got it down to the 11 yd line. Adjustment to the football for Blue Hicks. A true 50/50 ball. Can you make the plays in a contested environment? It doesn’t get any more contested. Blitz coming. Swing pass. Cop has it at the 10, at the five, at the goal line. Is he in? If he’s not, it should still be a first down. But the far side official says touchdown. After further review, the runner was short of the goal line. The ball will be placed at the half yd line. First down. [Applause] And heel is understanding he’s under pressure immediately. Just wants to get the ball out in the space to one of his backs so that they can really do something with the football in a one-on-one situation. And they seem to get a handle on it. Now it looks like it’s starting to rear its head again. It’s their first flag today as Malachi Tony bottled up along the sideline. Liter back little button hook to midfield. Alex Bowman brought down three and a half yds short of the first down. At least an impressive win will help obviously a lot more. And there’s a first down catch. Jojo Trader and he is taking control on this drive. Play action. whole shot to the sideline. Oh, what a one-handed catch. Did he hold on, Malachi Tony? He did. What a catch by the freshman. Let me tell you, this is a heck of a throw as well for him to be able to get that ball over Kyle Lewis on that corner route just over the outstretched arms of the flat defender and that being Kyle Lewis. That’s what’s called Larry. He goes in motion instead. And it’s another true freshman. Gerard Pringle almost found a crease to the end zone. Picks up eight into the red zone. I mean, just look at Carson Beck here from the sky cam. It’s just a great view. You see Kyle Lewis, you see him right there. He tries to jam Malachi coming off the line of scrimmage and just throw off the timing. Carson was not deterred. He let it go anyway and put it right over top of him. And that catch, I mean, Mal with Beck in the back field. And there goes Pringle. First down. It’s first and goal for Tony to take the direct snap again. He’s going to roll out. He’s going to throw it. Easy pitch and catch. Touchdown to Elijah Loftton. Malachi Tony does it again. What a really nice job of Elijah Loftton. Just watch how he just kind of just kind of floats and floats and floats until the secondary declares and then he takes off up field. He’s trying to sell the run until the secondary defenders draw up towards the line of scrimmage. You see it right there. And then he just kind of avoids the safety Kavier Baines Marquez to their advantage. Seven play touchdown you’re looking for. Jules Goff dancing and not getting much. Did well. Big man up front that can really make life difficult. Shot down the middle of the field and a sliding catch made by Poppy Williams. If he could have caught it in stride, he was gone. Mason Hechel had to do a great job of avoiding Amad Motton. And there you see Poppy Williams with the excellent adjust. But that really starts fourman rush. Pull it to the sideline. Diving catch made. Is the catch given? It is. Poppy Williams stretched out. This is just a fantastic throw. He has to let this bow go ball go on time and put it in basically about a 1 ft by one foot. After further review of the ruling on the field is upheld. Potions in the back field takes the hand off and he will go nowhere. He killed Georgia Tech getting blitz coming. Heel pocket collapses. Another sack for Miami. When you got those guys up front to rush the passer, swing pass to Booy Turner and he’ll at least bring the field goal group that much closer. Their field goal and extra point operation and he will not come close. Well outside the right upright and get his team to the college football playoff looking at a blitz on third down. Well protected. Malachi Tony is able to make the catch with another handoff and just lowering your shoulders and getting it. You have nothing left to give. Fourman rush. There’s an escape patch for Carson Beck. He will slide. Not quite that good this season. Look back on a roll out. Has been very efficient. It’s bound up the tight end dragging tacklers down to the doorstep of the red zone and back in the back field back. He’s going to float one for Tony. Touchdown. 91 yds to break Aman Richards freshman Miami receiving record receiving yards and now a touchdown in the first half. Yeah, you’re just going to see Malachi Tony this run up the up the sideline. Kyle Lewis, that’s the guy to watch. Watch him get picked off by the corner who’s playing manto man on Keelin Marion and you can see right there that’s all that they need in order to get Malachi Tommy loose just as good as it gets. Blitz finds a crease up the middle and this time slides they need to get back some of this momentum get this offense going again. Getting this football team feeling good. Blitz comes from the opposite side. Heel floats one for Williams. Incomplete. Flag it. Pass interference. Offense number five. 15 yd penalty. Second down. Only thing that I would question at the beginning there was the arm bar that Poiser put out as he turns into the receiver and becomes the wide receiver and kind of just pins him to the sideline, which is textbook technique. When you’re in phase and you’re in control of the receiver, that’s another Miami Blitz. Mhm. from the blind side. Can’t escape. And they’ve got to try and limit the damage here any way possible. They’ll give it to Lucy Turner and he’ll at least get them some field position. But now Mario Crystalall will call his final timeout. Miami having an opportunity and Pit getting the quarterback hurt. Tony hoping for a return makes a man miss at the 20 yd line. It gets bottled up just short of the 25 for these statistical columns passing since Jamar Miami going to play it conservatively here without field position on their side. They average only giving up about 92 and 12 yards per game. But this is a monster Miami offensive line. Instead, they slip a little tight end pass to Alex Bowman. He’s up the seam and he runs all the way inside the 30. A catch and run for Bowman. Went for 33 yds and the Canes in business. Back low on the blitz. That is exactly the negative. Third down and goal for the Canes. Fletcher right up the gut, spinning at the goal line. Does he break the plane? Yes, he does for a Kane’s touchdown. And Miami a point after away from a three-score lead. He’s just going to come right downhill. And just look at the just look at the impact that he has at the point of attack right before he gets to the goal line. Just right there. And you see the safety number 12 Bruce Brookens come in and try and put a hit on him. But there’s nothing you can do when that train starts rolling down the tracks. There’s just nothing you can do. It’s been a while. First down run and a loss of a yard for Booy Turner. Justin Scott the sixth tackle for loss today. And should that win over Notre Dame count for more than the committee has said it can’t for this point. There goes Pringle, the true freshman down the sideline, Gerard Pringle. A check play in the run game for the Kings and they’re back in business again. for this punishing Miami ground attack. Screen to Tony. Broken tackle. What balance to stay on his feet. Malachi Tony lines up again to take the direct snap. Shamar Brown to his right. Straight run to the corner. Turns the corner. Malachi Tony first and goal. Canes as he cruises out of bounds at the four. They’ve had multiple interceptions in three straight games this season. They got to find a way to come up with something here again. Tony in motion. Beck looks endzone instead. Flips it to a wide open. Shamar Brown for a walk-in score for Miami. [Applause] You’re just going to see Shamar Brown here. He’s just going to leak right out here into the flat. You’re going to see two underneath droppers. You’re going to see a safety drop down here in the box as well. So basically just playing three deep, two under and they just lose track of him. [Applause] He’s easy just walk in. That’s the risk you run when you vacate zones trying to create more pressure by sending extra defenders after the quarterback. If you don’t get there and these they beat them, right? And these are these are the kind of games that matter. We need to start having that discussion too. Finds CJ Lee running free. Lee’s down the sideline and find a way to get this ball to Booy Turner out of the back field. He’s just such a threat as a receiver. We’ve seen how these running backs run it here with Booy Turner in what is obvious four down territory at this point. Do you see one of the best teams in the country? You see a wellbalanced offense, defense, special teams, dynamic playmaking ability. They’ve got it all. It’ll be an interesting debate. Play their very best football that they can possibly play and let the other decision makers arrive at the conclusion they’re going to arrive at. That punt right down to the pylon and kept out of the end zone. They were still missing two guys on the defensive side. David play. OJ Frederick didn’t play today. Two really good players for them. Really painful ankle injury before the end of the first half. Continuing to fire this football down the field trying to make plays. Fourman rush. There’s Booy Turner with the handle and boy did he get walloped by Jacobe Thomas. These guys will lay the hammer on you now in the middle of the field. Up tempo third down again. Not much there on the check down to Boozy Turner as Wesley Bassain. They make the whole engine run. It’s awesome. That talent is a very loose turn. Malachi Tony on the jet sweep. 11 yds and a first down. Another catch for Tony. And another first down. He is over a 100 yards receiving now for the fourth time this season to to Miami receiving records. There he is again. Tiptoes down the sideline. And they’ll say he stepped out would tie Utah for third most 17-point wins in America if the margin stays where it is as Fletcher picks up the first down. How are teams playing right now? How are they looking right now? Are they better than they were at the beginning of the season? Miami looks like they have recaptured that momentum they had coming out of the gates, coincidentally is held going to be held right here in Pittsburgh this spring to really take a look at all these quarterbacks this year because they’ve all had their moments. They’ve all looked fantastic from Dante Moy. I’m going to be sitting right here on this desk in a couple months having a lot of fun doing them. Underthrown. It looked like Carson Beck wanted to pull that one back and Chris Brookkins scoops up an interception. [Music] Checks one down to Justin Cook. Just a yard short of the first down again to Mario Crystal Ball. This week about where his head is at, where his team is at. swing pass to the near side and Poppy Williams has a first down and they have come out and executed. He’s just fine. He’s got all the energy he needs. Third down and seven. Fiveman rush. Heel finds a crosser but no room to run. differences in terms of get off quickness, foot placement, hand placement, pad level, leverage, reading the backs in the back field, protections, all that stuff that can wreck a game. That’s right. In a sudden death type of situation, win or take all type of situation. I’d put this defensive line up against any offensive line defense of college football. A rugby scrum and Shamar Brown just won’t go down. Goes to victory formation. We’re going to keep on running plays here with 90 seconds to go. and they run it with Brown. Seven more yards for Shamar Brown. Play action for Beck. He’s going to take a shot for CJ Daniels into the end zone. He caught it for a touchdown with a defender right in his face. CJ Daniels adds to the Miami lead basically the same way they topped off the game last week with the touchdown pass to Malachi Tony. This is a heck of an individual effort by CJ Daniels. Wow. [Music] Is intercepted. Bryce Fitzgerald picks off. It’s great for college football for the Canes to be back even just in the conversation they’re in right now. It’s Miami back at top the college football conversation at the very least and they will be a very interesting topic conversation with this 38 to7 win over I think the committee wants to get the 12 best teams into this into this postseason. I don’t envy the job that they have to they’re going to have to undertake now as the rest of this day plays out, but this football team right here that we have now seen for the third time this season. In my opinion, it should be one of them. 38-7 is your final. Malachi Tony, another tremendous performance. You want this, you got that. No way. Wasn’t walk right past you. Run fast. Run fast while you have a chance. Don’t speak.

Check out these highlights as the No. 12 Miami Hurricanes take down the No. 22 Pittsburgh Panthers, 38-7, during Rivalry Week of the 2025 college football season. Hurricanes QB Carson Beck threw for 267 YDS and 3 TDs.
