Miami's Decision Not to Kneel Costs Them the Game Against Georgia Tech
Georgia Tech pulled off a stunning upset against the 17th-ranked Miami Hurricanes, winning 23-20 with a 44-yard touchdown pass to Christian Leary in the final seconds. Miami's decision not to take a knee and run out the clock backfired when running back Don Chaney Jr. fumbled, giving Georgia Tech a chance to score. Miami's quarterback, Tyler Van Dyke, threw for 288 yards but was intercepted three times. The Yellow Jackets' defense, under new management, frustrated Miami throughout the game and secured the victory with a late takeaway.
