This time, Miami couldn’t overcome a second-half deficit.

Cam Ward was sacked and fumbled the ball with 1:36 to go as Georgia Tech upset previously undefeated No. 4 Miami 28-23.

Georgia Tech dropped eight defenders into coverage on the second-down play and Ward didn’t see anyone to throw to. Romero Height chased Ward down from behind and Jordan Van Den Burg recovered the ball.

Miami never got the ball back after Ward’s fumble, either. Eric Singleton ran for a first down on third down and slid before the end zone after Miami had used its two timeouts. That allowed Georgia Tech to simply run out the clock.
