Before the game, there were reports that Auburn head coach Guz Malzahn would deb a candidate to replace Philbin in Miami but things have clearly changed. In the span of five minutes, the Dolphins went from giving up two touchdowns in the span of 11-seconds to winning the game on a blocked punt safety.
