MIAMI (7-4, 4-3) 38, GEORGIA TECH (3-8, 1-7) 21
NOV. 21, 2015 | MIAMI GARDENS, FLA. | SUN LIFE STADIUM (51,355)
GAME NOTES
- The all-time series with Miami now stands 11-10 favoring Georgia Tech, with the Hurricanes holding a 5-2 edge in Miami.
- The Yellow Jackets’ two road wins over the Hurricanes came in 2005 and 2007 — when Miami still played its home games at the Orange Bowl.
- Due to lightning in the area, the game included a 30-minute weather delay midway through the third quarter.
TEAM NOTES
- The Yellow Jackets own the ACC’s longest streak of scoring 20+ points in 21 consecutive conference games. It is the second-longest streak of any team in the Power 5, trailing only the 38 consecutive games by Ohio State.
- Tech is now 33-33 all-time when playing at a professional sports venue, including 2-5 at Sun Life Stadium. Prior to Saturday’s outcome, Tech had won its last game played at Sun Life Stadium — the 2014 Capital One Orange Bowl over Mississippi State, 49-34, last December 31.
- The fumble by Georgia Tech at the Miami 3-yard line was the Yellow Jackets’ first Red Zone turnover since last season’s win at Georgia.
- This season, two Georgia Tech opponents have hit 55+ yard FGs — Chris Blewitt (Pitt) 56, Michael Badgley (Miami) 57. The only other season in school history that happened was 1980 — by Georgia’s Rex Robinson 57 yards and Tennessee’s Alan Duncan 55.
- The 57-yard field goal by Badgley tied for the second-longest field goal against Tech all time, and the longest by a Tech opponent Georgia’s Kevin Butler hit a 57-yarder in 1984.

- Jordan’s 28 carries were the most rushing attempts by a Tech QB since Tevin Washington carried 32 times for 120 yards at Maryland in 2011.
- The rushing TD by Jordan was the second of his career — his first came in Tech’s win over Tulane earlier this season.
- Junior AB Lynn Griffin’s 27-yard rush was the longest of his career.
- Sophomore DB Lawrence Austin made a career-high eight tackles. His previous career best was six versus Florida State on Oct. 24, 2015.
- Senior AB Broderick Snoddy scored Tech’s first touchdown of the game, becoming the the 18th different Yellow Jacket to score a touchdown this season. It was Snoddy’s first score this year and the fifth of his career — his first TD since a three-TD effort at Pitt last season.
- Senior S Jamal Golden played in his team-leading 53rd career game.
- Graduate BB Patrick Skov made his first start at BB since the Clemson game — his seventh start this year.
- Junior LB P.J. Davis owns the team’s longest streak of consecutive starts, today being his 26th straight. Four other Yellow Jackets have started 25 straight games: QB Justin Thomas, C Freddie Burden, CB Chris Milton and LG Trey Braun.
