In a stunning turn of events, No. 10 seed Miami secured a 10-3 victory over No. 7 Texas A&M in the College Football Playoff on Saturday. Malachi Toney's clutch 11-yard touchdown reception with just minutes left on the clock sealed the deal for the Hurricanes. The freshman's heroics came after a heart-stopping moment where he fumbled the ball, only to be given another chance by his teammates. Mark Fletcher Jr. led the charge with a career-high 172 yards rushing, paving the way for Miami's advancement to the Cotton Bowl, where they will face No. 2 seed Ohio State on December 31. Toney's redemption was made possible by a series of crucial plays, including a sack by Rueben Bain Jr. that forced a Texas A&M punt. The Hurricanes' offense then capitalized on a 56-yard run by Fletcher, setting up Toney's game-winning catch. The Aggies had a final chance to tie, but Bryce Fitzgerald's second interception of the game, this time in the end zone, sealed the win for Miami.
