4th-Ranked Miami DESTROYED: Cam Ward Crushed in Shocking Upset

ATLANTA (AP) — The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets pulled off a shocking upset over the No. 4 ranked Miami Hurricanes, handing them their first loss of the season. The final score of 28-23 showcases the incredible defensive effort put forth by the Jackets.

The Georgia Tech coaches and players knew that their best chance at beating the high-flying Hurricanes was to keep the ball away from quarterback Cam Ward. The strategy proved effective as they were able to control the tempo of the game and limit the Hurricanes' scoring opportunities.

Cam Ward, who has been lighting it up this season, was not his usual self in this matchup. The Jacket's defense was able to contain him and force him to make decisions under pressure, which he was unable to capitalize on. Ward finished the game with an uncharacteristic performance, unable to will his team to victory.

The Jackets' running game was key in their victory as they were able to pound the rock and keep the clock running. This, combined with the stifling defense, made it an uphill battle for the Hurricanes to try and mount a comeback.
