Carson Beck just delivered the biggest moment of his football career with that game-winning touchdown run.
His sister Kylie was right there in the stands looking like she belonged on an NFL sideline.
And Kylie Beck prepared for brother's Fiesta Bowl win with training that has Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders taking notice.
Miami's dramatic win came down to the wire
Miami edged Ole Miss 31-27 in a thriller that came down to the final 18 seconds.
Beck ran it in from three yards out with 18 seconds on the clock to send the Hurricanes to the national championship game at their home stadium.
The sixth-year quarterback threw for 268 yards with two touchdowns and led a masterful 15-play, 75-yard drive in the final three minutes when it mattered most.
Miami will face either No. 1 Indiana or No. 5 Oregon at Hard Rock Stadium on January 19 for the program's first national title since 2001.
But while Carson Beck was making college football history, his little sister was stealing the show in the stands.
Kylie Beck turned heads with her Fiesta Bowl outfit
Kylie showed up to State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona wearing a skin-tight black bodysuit with a custom houndstooth pattern.
The former Georgia cheerleader completed the look with a black belt and black boots.
She posted 15 photos to Instagram with the caption "Did someone say Fiesta Bowl?!"
The post went viral as fans couldn't stop talking about her eye-popping outfit.
But Kylie wasn't just there to look good in the stands.

The real story is what Kylie did before the game
While Miami prepared for the College Football Playoff semifinal, Kylie was in Dallas training with the most famous cheerleading squad in sports.
She attended the DCC Prep Intensive, a two-and-a-half-day workshop that the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders use to prepare candidates for their grueling audition process.
The intensive started on Friday evening and ran through Sunday afternoon at The Star in Frisco.
Kylie's been attending these training sessions since 2023, showing she's deadly serious about joining America's Sweethearts.
The workshop covers everything aspiring DCC candidates need to know.

Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders don't mess around with their training
The DCC Prep Intensive isn't some casual weekend dance class.
Candidates learn the iconic DCC choreography and the famous kickline that's known worldwide.
They get tips on styling, makeup, hair, and performance techniques that separate DCC from every other NFL cheerleading squad.
The program also covers DCC culture and history, includes a Football 101 lesson, and creates networking opportunities with current and former Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.
You don't put yourself through all that unless you're ready for the brightest spotlight in professional cheerleading.
The entire program costs $300 and requires attendance at all three days of sessions.
Current DCC choreographers and alumni run the workshops, giving candidates direct access to the women who know exactly what it takes to make the team.
Kylie Beck isn't playing games about her dancing career
Kylie was a Georgia Bulldogs cheerleader while her brother played quarterback in Athens.
She followed him to Miami after he transferred but didn't join the Hurricanes cheer squad.
Instead, Kylie's been laser-focused on her ultimate goal of becoming a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader.
She participated in the Miss Florida pageant in 2024 and has been open about her battle with an eating disorder.
But dance is where Kylie's heart lives.
Her Instagram shows she takes her training as seriously as Carson takes his football career.
The Netflix effect made DCC more famous than ever
"America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders" dropped on Netflix last summer and became a massive hit.
The series gave viewers an inside look at what it really takes to make the most elite cheerleading squad in sports.
Auditions for the 2025-2026 season are coming up fast.
Online applications for the first round open on May 2, and candidates find out who moves to round two on May 16.
The final auditions and training camp start June 14 in Frisco.
Kylie posted an emotional message recently about how far she's come in two years, comparing photos from her Dance Dawgs days at Georgia to her current training with DCC.
"Very emotional seeing how far I've come physically & mentally in 2 years!!" she wrote.
Big brother delivered when it mattered most
Carson Beck's game-winning touchdown came on a play where he couldn't find an open receiver.
As Ole Miss finally got pressure, Beck tucked the ball and ran it in untouched from three yards out with 18 seconds left.
It was his first rushing touchdown since Week 3 against South Florida.
After the game, Beck said "It's the best feeling I've ever had in my life."
Kylie posted an emotional TikTok video crying and hugging people after her brother's dramatic score.
"The winner takes it ALL," she captioned the post.
The Beck family has been through a lot lately with Carson's transfer from Georgia, his breakup with basketball star Hanna Cavinder, and the intense scrutiny that comes with playing quarterback at a program like Miami.
But Thursday night showed what happens when you prepare for your biggest moment.
Carson prepared all season to lead Miami to a national championship game.
And Kylie prepared by training with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders so she'd be ready when her moment comes.
Both Beck siblings are chasing their dreams at the highest level of their sports.
And based on what happened Thursday night in the desert, the Beck family knows how to deliver when the spotlight's brightest.
