The recipe for stopping the nation’s most prolific offense? Keep them on the sidelines as much as possible.

Georgia Tech rushed 48 times for 271 yards, possessed the ball for nearly 35 minutes and held on late for a 28-23 win over the fourth-ranked Miami Hurricanes Saturday at Bobby Dodd Stadium.

The loss ended Miami’s nine-game winning streak as the Canes fell to 9-1 overall and 5-0 in ACC play. The Yellow Jackets improved to 6-4 overall...

Can't think about what may happen. This one will linger for a while. Moreso now because we're going into a bye.

Worst TO by Mario I can remember & up to this point I thought he's been much better this year. Just come out with the defense to defend the fake & let them down it or the refs call it.

We said this could happen with Cam. We hoped it wouldn't. It did. Great QB for my team or random guy on the street: I don't respect people who don't learn from their mistakes or bad decisions. It's why I love
X beyond football because however & whatever it takes to succeed, he'll do it. Cam has everything in front of him, with this team & personally. Hopefully he grows & learns to adapt, adjust & correct what's needed as needed.

Worse game by Fletcher in his Cane career. Put Cam in a bad situation on the 4th & 1 with the "route" he ran & not even bothering to look for the ball for most of it. 1st carry put his head down blocking his view of the field for no gain. All other carries went down without much contact. Drops.

ZP seems lost in coverage. Watching a play in front of you & not even reacting to it... on 3rd & 18. Couple of other bad plays in coverage. Experienced Powell putting him in that position to begin with is ridiculous.

All of our DBs really. Smh

At least we have OJ.

JG3 effort stood out in a good way yet again.

Loved the hit by Moten (not targeting) & his overall play on run defense. That we were reviewed for targeting made me feel like we were being targeted. The 1st 2 being helmet to helmet made it understandable but they were all natural football plays & not one of them launched.

For this point I admit I'm more guessing/judging based on play & body language while not hearing what's being said. However Horton getting mugged with no call on a crucial play & seemingly smiling after the fact. Arroyo doing the same after not getting a 1st. Sam Brown & lazy routes/seeming lack of effort. Cam's accuracy & choice of target on 3rd & 4th down. It just seemed the urgency & situational awareness was off this whole game. Playing the result of course but I noticed it throughout the game.

Lastly, as a juxtaposition GT made the plays & executed what they needed, when they needed them. That td the receiver laid out for against DPJ the 2 almost turnovers where 7 misses the interception & Bain doesn't blow King up for the fumble. Their effort & execution juxtaposed to us just looking like we're winging it out there gave me a sense of foreboding that if it came down to the end, they would execute & we wouldn't.
