Title: Indiana Coach Halts Title Game to Protest "Dangerous" Miami Hits

**Article:** Indiana head coach Curt Cignetti used his national television interview at halftime of Monday's college football championship to make a formal complaint. He argued that officials were missing personal fouls by the Miami Hurricanes. Cignetti spoke directly to a sideline reporter as his team left the field. He stated that several hits by Miami defenders should have been penalized. A personal foul is called for illegal, often dangerous, contact. The coach’s decision to raise the issue on live broadcast was unusual. Such complaints are typically made privately to officiating crews. The second half proceeded without immediate changes to how the game was officiated. Cignetti’s public remarks highlighted the high-pressure nature of the national title game.
