Miami's title-game heartbreak: 10 costly moments against Indiana

Also highlighted were Carter Davis’s missed 50-yard field goal at halftime, rough nights for several standout defenders and blockers, Shannon Dawson’s conservative first-half play-calling, missed tackles and miscommunications on key drives, Indiana’s early dominance at the line, a string of penalties, third-down struggles, and Fletcher’s big-yardage ability largely muted by time.
