Despite losing their top two running backs and having their starting quarterback operate primarily as a runner, the Yellow Jackets won again as a significant underdog.

This time the victim was an undefeated Miami Hurricanes team.

The line: Georgia Tech +9.5.

Cam Ward and Miami finally ran out of second-half comebacks as Haynes King led Georgia Tech to a 28-23 win over the previously unbeaten Hurricanes on Saturday for the Yellow Jackets’ first victory over a top-five team in 15 years.

Miami (9-1, 5-1 Atlantic Coast Conference, No. 4 College Football Playoff) was denied its first 10-0 start since 2017. Georgia Tech (6-4, 4-3) became bowl-eligible and ended a two-game losing streak.

“We just didn’t play Miami football,” said safety Mishael Powell. “We didn’t do a good job getting turnovers today.”

Haynes King rushed for 93 yards and ran and passed for touchdowns as Georgia Tech held the ball almost 10 minutes longer than Miami. The Yellow Jackets held the Hurricanes to a season low in points — less than half of their top-ranked average of 47.4 per game.

Brent Key has been Georgia Tech’s head coach for 31 total games.  Over that time, the Yellow Jackets have been booked as an underdog 20 times.

Georgia Tech is now 14-6 Against The Spread as a dog, with 11 outright wins.

The represents the most outright wins as an underdog in FBS in that span.
