It's going to take a while for everyone to catch their breath. In incredible fashion, Miami was able to post a THRILLING 31-27 win over Ole Miss in the College Football Playoff semifinals, punching its ticket to the title game. Never a doubt, right?

With the game on the line, Mario Cristobal and Shannon Dawson put things in Carson Beck's hands and the superstar signal-caller did not disappoint, rushing for the game-winning TD with under 20 seconds to go. Right after the final whistle, Beck was interviewed on the field by ESPN and he was understandably overcome with emotion. This is a moment he's never going to forget.

"I mean, this is the best feeling I've ever had in my life," Beck told ESPN's Holly Rowe. "Man, I'm so proud of this team. We never flinched. In the face of adversity when we had to respond, we responded. We never gave up. I looked at the guys on the sideline and you could just see it in their eyes, we all had a good feeling that what just happened was about to happen."
Come on, that's just a brilliant response from Beck, who continues to silence the haters with each game. Matter of fact, Miami has done that as a whole. When the final CFP rankings came out, people were livid that the Canes snuck in over Notre Dame.
Since then, Miami has taken down Texas A&M, Ohio State and now Ole Miss. Beck is on an unreal run and you know that he's over the moon with how things are going. While he's elated, there's still one more win to go out and grab.
Come Friday night, Indiana and Oregon will face off with a trip to the title game on the line, with the winner all set to take on the Canes for all of the marbles. That game will be played at the Hard Rock Stadium and Beck can't wait for it. With one more W, he'll cement his status as a Miami great.
