The Miami Hurricanes have spiraled into a deep dive, with little time left to surface for air.
In a mistake-filled heartbreaker, the Canes lost their fourth game in a row late Saturday, this one 27-21 to Georgia Tech, wasting another opportunity to qualify for a bowl game. Instead, for the second week in a row, the Hurricanes watched their opponent celebrate a bowl-qualifying victory.
The Hurricanes (5-5, 2-4 Atlantic Coast Conference), who lost three fumbles Saturday, are now 1-6 in their past seven games away from Miami. The lone win came at Toledo on Sept. 15.
UM redshirt freshman starting quarterback N’Kosi Perry had one of those fumbles, but still finished 14 of 23 for 165 yards, with no touchdowns and no interceptions.
