ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia Tech coaches believed the best way to beat Cam Ward and No. 4 Miami was to keep the ball away from the quarterback.
Despite losing their top two running backs and having their starting quarterback operate primarily as a runner, the Yellow Jackets' game plan was successful.
Ward and Miami finally ran out of second-half comebacks as Haynes King led Georgia Tech to a 28-23 win over the previously unbeaten Hurricanes on Saturday for the Yellow Jackets' first victory over a top-five team in 15 years.
Fans rushed the field, toppling both goalposts, after the game.
