SMU pulled off a stunning upset of No. 10 Miami in overtime, beating the Hurricanes 26-20 on Saturday at Gerald J. Ford Stadium.
Miami got the ball first in the overtime period, but quarterback Carson Beck was intercepted just short of the goal line, giving SMU a chance to win it on the ensuing possession. It was one of Beck’s two interceptions of the day.
A field goal would have been enough to win the game, but SMU leaned on running back T.J. Harden to win the game. Harden punched it in from a yard out to seal the upset victory for SMU.
