Miami's Upset Fuelled by Opponent's Words | Miami Hurricanes Football News
Description
Miami stunned Ohio State 24-14 on New Year’s Eve, turning a controversial statement by Ohio State’s Jeremiah Smith into fuel for their upset victory. With Julian Sayin struggling and Ryan Day’s play-calling under fire, the Hurricanes leaned into motivation from their rival — a tactic they’ve used before, as former player Keionte Scott recalls. Smith’s comments, though not overtly aggressive, sparked a team-wide mission to prove he made the wrong choice by choosing Ohio State over Miami. Miami’s defense rose to the occasion, including a touchdown return by Scott himself, and held off Ohio State’s late push despite Smith’s strong stat line. The win capped a successful season for Miami, with Scott and eight teammates soon drafted into the NFL.
