MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) – Darrell Langham was going down, and so was No. 11 Miami.
Until they weren’t.
A Miami Miracle happened again – and the Hurricanes are still perfect this season. Langham’s 28-yard catch on a tipped ball that just happened to fall into his arms as he fell down on a fourth-or-else play helped set up Michael Badgley’s 24-yard field goal with 4 seconds left, and Miami somehow beat Georgia Tech 25-24 on Saturday.
“Just another day in paradise,” Miami coach Mark Richt said. “That’s how we roll.”
A week ago at Florida State, Langham had the game-winning touchdown catch with 6 seconds left as Miami (5-0, 3-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) rallied to beat their archrival. This time, his catch with 35 seconds left, again down the right sideline just like the one in Tallahassee, was no less dramatic – hauling in a 28-yard toss from Malik Rosier that kept the Hurricanes’ chances alive.
