The second half of Thursday night’s Fiesta Bowl did not begin as a picture of college football brilliance, as both Miami and Ole Miss traded gaffes in Glendale, Arizona.
The Hurricanes were first up, somehow not coming up with an interception of Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss despite linebacker Wesley Bissainthe putting both hands on the football with it squarely in his lap.

— Unnecessary Roughness (@UnnecRoughness) January 9, 2026Carneiro’s miss was notable in that he had already made two field goals earlier in the game, connecting from 42 yards midway through the second quarter then booming a 58-yarder through the uprights right before halftime to make it 17-13.
Carneiro entered the game as one of the more reliable kickers in the country, connecting on 27-of-30 field goal attempts in 2025 – missing once all season from 20-39 yards, once from 40-49 yards and once from 50-plus yards. He doinked another kick later in the third quarter, but that one managed to fall through the uprights.
Miami’s defense was also stellar against the pass all season, as the Hurricanes entered the College Football Playoff semifinals with 16 interceptions. The Hurricanes dropped another easy pick later in the third, too.
