What am I missing there? Why didn't we try a FG?

You are missing a head coach that doesn't make boneheaded calls late in games.

Plus we had all three time outs.

Passing up the field goal attempt in favor of putting in a terrible quarterback that is on his way out of town is just stupid.

The way Miami's last drive was going, I think they'd score a TD.

The Miami coach will have to justify not going for a TD. He'll also have to justify the 2 kneel downs before the FG attempt... while they were at the limit of his kicker's range.

I pulled up his presser after the game. To his credit, he admitted that he put a lot of thought into it and decided that he considered the FG the better option. He was looking at them beating an SEC team which to them is a very very big deal and thought too many things could go wrong by going for a TD. He is a pretty good coach, was OC for Notre Dame when they were winning a few years ago.
