In a nail-biting College Football Playoff matchup, No. 10 Miami Hurricanes secured a 10-3 victory over No. 7 Texas A&M on Saturday in College Station. Mark Fletcher Jr. shone with a career-high 172 yards, including a 56-yard run, to lead the Hurricanes' offense. Malachi Toney sealed the win with a touchdown just 1:44 minutes before the final whistle. Miami's quarterback, Carson Beck, completed 14 of 20 passes for 103 yards, a season-low, and a touchdown. The Hurricanes' defense, meanwhile, tied season highs with seven sacks and three forced turnovers. Texas A&M's Marcel Reed completed 25 of 39 passes for 237 yards but was intercepted twice, including a crucial pick by Bryce Fitzgerald with 27 seconds left. The Hurricanes will now face No. 2 Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl on New Year's Eve. Miami broke through with a 21-yard field goal in the second half after a scoreless first half, where they were largely outclassed by the Aggies. Texas A&M managed just 151 yards of offense in the second half, unable to capitalize on multiple scoring chances. The win marks a significant upset in the College Football Playoff, with Miami advancing to the quarterfinals.
