Devin Hester: Watching Miami Lose the Title Was Brutal
Feb 3, 2026
This one still hurts.
Pro Football Hall of Famer Devin Hester tells D.A. he was on the sideline for Miami Hurricanes’ national championship loss to Indiana Hoosiers — and says it was absolutely heartbreaking.
But Hester doesn’t stop at the emotion.
He points to something many fans overlook: special teams. Hester explains why that phase of the game was a huge reason Indiana won — and why it made the loss feel like such a missed opportunity for Miami.
Even with the pain, Hester remains optimistic about the Hurricanes’ future, believing the program is close — but still learning the hard lessons that decide championships.
A raw, honest moment from one of Miami’s legends.
