I think you need to give the lion's share of the blame to the OL who false started. Now if IU had lost 5 yards on a run out of shotgun there then I would agree with you.

Also, IU hanging on let the refs off the hook IMO as their calls were very much 1 sided in MIA's favor. Waiting to throw a flag on roughing the passer until MIA's final drive after ignoring MIA doing the same thing or worse to Mendoza all game (including what should have been a targeting call in the 1st quarter) for example.

Still feels like a fever dream! It doesn't even seem like this is a real thing. Cigs and this team will have a full feature movie made about them. Unreal!
No doubt. If there's ever been a better coaching job in sports than what Cigs has done at IU then I can't think of it. The only one that comes to mind that is close is Herb Brooks with the 1980 US men's hockey team.
