Miami Hurricanes head coach Mario Cristobal sharply criticized game officials following a controversial non-touchdown call involving tight end Elija Lofton during the team's recent game. Cristobal expressed frustration over the ruling, which he believed cost his team a potential score.
The incident occurred in a game played on November 8, 2026, according to a report by Austin Hough of the South Bend Tribune and The Palm Beach Post. Details of the specific play and the official's explanation were not immediately available.
Cristobal's comments highlight ongoing concerns about officiating consistency in college football. The Hurricanes coach did not specify whether the program plans to formally appeal the call through conference channels.
