SMU Upsets No. 10 Miami in Overtime

SMU upset No. 10 Miami 26-20 in overtime at Gerald J. Ford Stadium after SMU safety Ahmaad Moses intercepted Miami quarterback Carson Beck in OT, setting up T.J. Harden’s 1-yard game-winning touchdown. Beck finished with 274 yards and two touchdowns but threw two costly interceptions, and Miami was hampered by 12 penalties and the absence of several starters. Kevin Jennings’ leadership and a late Sam Keltner 38-yard field goal helped Miami force overtime. SMU fans stormed the field and coach Rhett Lashlee, fresh off a contract extension, celebrated the signature win. The loss dropped Miami to 6-2 (2-2 ACC) and dealt a significant blow to its College Football Playoff hopes, leaving the Hurricanes outside at-large contention. Elsewhere, No. 22 Houston fell 45-35 to underdog West Virginia, imperiling the Cougars’ Big 12 and postseason prospects.
