Miami quarterback Carson Beck's final play of his college career was a deep pass down the left sideline, intercepted by Indiana's Jamari Sharpe, sealing a 27-21 loss in the College Football Playoff National Championship. Beck, who threw for 232 yards and a touchdown, shouldered the blame for the costly interception.

Beck's interception ended Miami's frenetic comeback, a season marked by resilience and leadership. Despite a strong performance, the loss was devastating for the Hurricanes, who trailed by six points with 51 seconds left. Beck's pass was intended for Keelan Marion, who failed to turn and look for the ball, leading to the game-ending play.

The interception adds another layer to Beck's complicated legacy, from a prized prospect at Georgia to a key player in Miami's unexpected run. Ending his career with a 37-6 record as a starter, Beck's final season at Miami mirrored his performance at Georgia, with nearly identical passing stats. This loss, coming off a shoulder injury, caps a journey of redemption and missed opportunities.
