"Miami paid millions of dollars to bring Beck to town, and in the drive that would define his season with the Hurricanes, Beck led them 75 yards for the game-winning touchdown to send them to the national title game. Money well spent, huh? Beck's 3-yard touchdown scramble with 18 seconds left capped a madcap fourth quarter, one that featured four lead changes and even saw Ole Miss drive close enough for a shot at the end zone on the final play."
"We can only hope that the second semifinal is as good as the first. On Thursday night in the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl, Miami watched multiple leads disappear, dropped potential interceptions, committed penalties and still gutted its way into the College Football Playoff National Championship game with a 31-27 win over Ole Miss. Carson Beck's 3-yard touchdown run made the difference, but it was a wonderful back-and-forth affair until the end."
"The Hurricanes hogged the ball for much of the game -- time of possession after three quarters: Miami 33:50, Ole Miss 11:10 -- but dropped four potential interceptions, missed a field goal and threw an interception deep in Rebels territory. Given extra life, Ole Miss took two fourth-quarter leads, first on Lucas Carneiro's fourth field goal of the evening, then on a 24-yard touchdown pass from Trinidad Chambliss to Dae'Quan Wright. But with four third-down conversions, Beck guided the Canes down the field and won the game."

Carson Beck led a 75-yard, game-winning drive capped by a 3-yard scramble with 18 seconds remaining. The fourth quarter featured four lead changes and Ole Miss nearly scored on the final play. Miami dominated time of possession through three quarters (33:50 to 11:10) while Ole Miss relied on Lucas Carneiro's four field goals and a 24-yard touchdown from Trinidad Chambliss to Dae'Quan Wright.
