UPDATE: In a stunning upset, the Miami Hurricanes defeated the defending national champions, the Ohio State Buckeyes, 24-14 in the College Football Playoff (CFP) quarterfinal at the Cotton Bowl in Arlington, Texas. This victory, confirmed just moments ago, marks a monumental win for the Hurricanes, who came into the game as 9.5-point underdogs.
The game saw a pivotal moment when Keionte Scott returned an interception a remarkable 72 yards for a touchdown, propelling Miami to a lead they would never relinquish. With this win, the Hurricanes improved their record to 12-2 and secured their place in football’s final four after having to earn an at-large berth to enter the 12-team field.
This victory not only eliminates Ohio State, who also finished with a 12-2 record, but it also sets Miami on a path to potentially play for the national championship in their home stadium. The Hurricanes are now just one win away from that opportunity, with their next challenge coming at the Fiesta Bowl on January 8.
As Miami celebrates this historic win, Ohio State grapples with the disappointment of back-to-back losses after a once-undefeated regular season. Fans and analysts alike are buzzing about this unexpected turn of events, emphasizing the competitive nature of college football and the potential for more surprises in the playoffs.
