SMU Upsets No. 10 Miami in Overtime

SMU upset No. 10 Miami 26-20 in overtime in Dallas after T.J. Harden's 1-yard touchdown run capped a four-play OT for the Mustangs. The decisive sequence began when Ahmaad Moses intercepted Carson Beck at the goal line in overtime, and SMU had forced OT when kicker Sam Keltner hit a 38-yard field goal with 25 seconds remaining following an unnecessary-roughness penalty on Miami’s Marquise Lightfoot. SMU quarterback Kevin Jennings threw for 365 yards despite a leg injury, while Harden provided the winning short touchdown; Miami’s Carson Beck passed for 274 yards with two TDs but also threw two costly interceptions. Miami was hampered by numerous penalties (12 for 96 yards) and faced criticism for kneeling with 25 seconds and a timeout instead of attempting a final play, outcomes that seriously damaged the Hurricanes’ ACC and College Football Playoff hopes. The victory kept SMU (6-3, 4-1 ACC) alive in conference contention, triggered a field-storming celebration with goalposts torn down, and extended its home conference winning streak to 13 games.
