SMU Knocks Off No. 10 Miami 26-20 in Overtime, Damaging Playoff Hopes for Hurricanes
SMU won its 13th straight home conference game in overtime, aided by key plays including an interception and a touchdown run, damaging Miami's playoff chances.
- In Dallas on Saturday, SMU edged Miami 26-20 in overtime as T.J. Harden scored the winning 1-yard touchdown, extending SMU's home conference streak to 13 games.
- A no-good 42-yard attempt earlier, ruled unreviewable, set up the late drama as Sam Keltner kicked a tying 38-yard field goal with 25 seconds left after Marquise Lightfoot's penalty on fourth-and-9 gave SMU a first down.
- Ahmaad Moses' overtime interception put SMU in position to win after intercepting Carson Beck just short of the goal line; Beck finished with 274 passing yards and two interceptions, while Kevin Jennings played through an apparent lower left leg injury, scoring twice.
- The loss damaged Miami's playoff chances and marked their second defeat in three weeks, leaving the Miami Hurricanes football team 6-2 overall and 2-2 in the ACC needing help to reach the title game.
- The late-season pattern echoes last year's November slide for Miami, as the Miami Hurricanes football team struggled after a nearly flawless first seven weeks; an at-large berth remains possible due to the Notre Dame nonconference win.
