Fans Troll Miami, Texas A&M’s Poor First Half After Notre Dame CFP Snub
Following a two-week uproar over Notre Dame’s omission from the College Football Playoff, the first half of the game between Miami and Texas A&M fell short of expectations. The contest marked a historic moment, being the first playoff game that concluded the opening two quarters without a single point scored.
First Half Overview
The lack of offensive output led to widespread criticism from fans and analysts alike. The statistics tell a dismal tale:
- Two missed field goals
- One lost fumble
- One turnover on downs
- Seven punts
Offensive Struggles
Despite moving the ball fairly well, Texas A&M’s offensive performance was lackluster. The Aggies accumulated a total of 175 yards, but most of that came from one significant play:
- 59 yards from a single reception by Mario Craver
This drive, unfortunately, ended with a blocked field goal attempt. Meanwhile, Miami, which controversially took Notre Dame’s coveted spot in the playoff rankings, offered little to inspire its supporters.
Miami’s Performance
Miami’s offense struggled to make an impact, recording only 69 total yards in the first half. Quarterback Carson Beck managed a disappointing average of just 2.4 yards per pass, failing to establish any rhythm.
The lack of scoring and offensive prowess from both teams drew significant attention, as fans continued to express their frustration over Notre Dame’s playoff exclusion, further amplifying the scrutiny on Miami and Texas A&M.
