Kickoff set for Georgia-Georgia Tech game
The first-year running back carried the ball three times and then took a short pass 25 yards to the end zone on a four-play, 41-yard touchdown drive.
They’ll have to in order to stop option-heavy Georgia Tech (3-7, 1-6 ACC), whose only win against an FBS opponent was an October 24 stunner against Florida State.
“The first seven or eight minutes of the game, I don’t know if they missed a shot”, UWGB coach Linc Darner said.
Brad Kaaya passed for 300 yards and a touchdown for Miami, which hasn’t had consecutive losing seasons since 1976-77 – and ensured they won’t change that this year. They made it, because this team is still under a VooDoo Curse.
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets recorded 135.3 passing yards and 267.9 rushing yards while allowed 192.6 passing yards and 172.4 russhing yards with turnover differential of -0.1. His 88.8 yards-per-game average in ACC games leads the conference. Aside from that, however, the Miami offense has been able to move the ball this season.
The Hurricanes are coming off a 59-21 loss to UNC.
“Confidence is mental and kicking is mental”, Badgley said.
“I don’t want to talk about that right now”, Muhammad said. The Yellow Jackets found a few success early in the fourth, going 68 yards in six plays to cut Miami’s lead to 31-14 with 10:05 remaining. Yearby led with 47 rushing yards.
With the Georgia Tech season all but over, the team will be playing for pride, and that is always a scary proposition for the opposition.
“In a way we needed that, just to see what our guys” response was going to be”, Scott said. “There was never any wavering”. It’s all we’ve got at this point. You saw Chris was open on the seam route.

Everything for the Yellow Jackets was a debacle on Saturday. A few of that has to do with the Hurricanes being down in a number of games, but the teams offensive line hasn’t played particularly well.
Saturday’s win had extra meaning.
The true seniors and redshirt seniors – a group of 16 players – were honored before the game on the field with their families, including injured senior linebacker Raphael Kirby – who received a loud ovation from fans as he walked out on to the field on crutches. There’s mutual interest between Miami and officials from the Pinstripe Bowl, but the Hurricanes surely need at least one more win – and probably two – to get to Yankee Stadium next month. “We wanted to send those guys out with a victory”.
The fans that showed up were applauding and showing their appreciation for the players that made a decision to play football at Miami, but there weren’t many. Kaaya hit a wide open Stacy Coley down the left sideline two plays later, and the junior receiver set the Canes up at their own 45.
