UPDATE: In a stunning upset, the Miami Hurricanes defeated the defending national champions, the Ohio State Buckeyes, with a score of 24-14 in the College Football Playoff (CFP) quarterfinals held at the Cotton Bowl in Arlington, Texas, earlier today. This victory propels Miami into the final four as they continue their quest for a national championship.
Miami, ranked No. 10 and entering the game as 9.5-point underdogs, showcased their resilience and determination throughout the match. The decisive moment came when Keionte Scott returned an interception an impressive 72 yards for a touchdown, marking a pivotal turning point for the Hurricanes. With this win, Miami, now boasting a record of 12-2, remains undefeated in the playoffs after securing two crucial victories to earn their spot.
The Hurricanes never trailed during the game, demonstrating their strategic prowess and ability to capitalize on critical moments.
