Hardin had several AWFUL plays. He dropped a perfectly thrown pass where he was wide open, might have gone for a TD. On another key play, he totally, pathetically whiffed on pass protection.
Yes, he ended up scoring the winning TD in OT, but the game was effectively over when SMU intercepted on Miami's OT possession. All SMU needed was a field goal, and every one knew it. So the defense was kinda deflated and perfunctory.
I have nothing against Hardin, wish him well. But truth be told, he was no hero in that game.
