Kyle McCord and Syracuse knocked No. 6 Miami out of ACC title contention — and possibly ended the Hurricanes' College Football Playoff hopes.

The third first down came via a brutal mistake. Defensive tackle Ahmad Moten jumped offside to give Syracuse a first down with 1:52 remaining. The Hurricanes had just one timeout remaining at that point, and a wide receiver sweep by Trebor Pena for a first down two plays later sealed the victory for Syracuse.

With a 42-38 come-from-behind victory over No. 6 Miami, Syracuse knocked the Hurricanes out of the ACC Championship Game and ushered in No. 12 Clemson, which earlier on Saturday lost 17-14 to rival South Carolina to pick up its third defeat. It was Syracuse’s first win over a top-10 opponent since 2017.
