Miami downs the Aggies 10-3 for first College Football Playoff win

Up seven with 27 seconds left, the Miami Hurricanes needed one stop to win their first-ever College Football Playoff game against the Texas A&M Aggies.

On third and goal from the five yard line, Marcel Reed fired the ball into the back of the end zone, looking for Melin Ohrstrom to tie the game.

Instead, true freshman safety Bryce Fitzgerald jumped the route, picking the ball off from Reed and falling to the ground before celebrating with his teammates.

Quarterback Carson Beck took a knee, let the clock run to zero, and set the Hurricane crowd into a frenzy as the ’Canes took down the Aggies 10-3.
