Miami vs Georgia Tech: Preview

Miami is an 11-point favorite on the road. The over/under is set at 64 points.

The Hurricanes will likely play in the ACC Championship Game unless Miami slips up. The Hurricanes trailed 21–17 at the half but Miami cruised in the second half for the lopsided win.

“They know they are capable. That’s number one. There’s a lot of trust and confidence in each other. Number two, I mean, football now, especially with technology, the cat and mouse game, the adjustment back and forth game, is really different. It’s a whole new level. I mean, you saw it,” Miami head coach Mario Cristobal said, via team website.

"[Duke was] creating some matchups there in the second quarter that were difficult to contend with and we had to change some things up and disguise some things a little bit better and then just flat-out execute on some other things. There’s just no flinch in the group regardless of a bad play, an injury, a tough call we have to deal with, a deficit. It’s awesome being around this group and, you know, chapter nine ended in 1-0 and after today it’s on to chapter 10.”

"You always want to not talk about, you know, the emotional part of it, right when you come off the field, you're able to watch everything and see it, see it through," coach Brent Key said, via SI. "But when you come off the field and when it's said and done, you know, the Georgia Tech football team didn't play well enough collectively to win the football game. And, within that, I thought that we had some, we had to make some, make some plays on offense, right?"

The Yellow Jackets are led by Haynes King who's thrown for 1,568 yards, eight touchdowns and an interception, while Jamal Haynes has rushed for 598 yards and eight touchdowns.

Miami is a dominant force on offense, but we have seen the Hurricanes in a close game with a bad team this season. However, Cam Ward should be able to carve up this Yellow Jackets secondary and help Miami cruise to a lopsided win.
