Last season, Tech made one of the most improbable comebacks in program history by beating the undefeated No. 17 Hurricanes in a 23-20 shocker. The sequel was even better.
Instead of relying on good fortune, the Jackets were in control from the jump. Miami scrambled to get back in the game, but Tech continued to execute and keep the Hurricanes at arms reach. Although Miami has played plenty of close games this season where opponents faltered down the stretch, the Jackets held onto their lead and delivered the Hurricanes their first loss of the season. Poetically, redshirt junior quarterback Haynes King kneeled out the game to secure the victory, reminding Miami of the lack of kneeling that cost them last year’s game.
