Miami had nine drives in SMU territory on Saturday in a 26-20 overtime loss. The inability to convert drives on the SMU side of the field into more points contributed significantly to the loss on Saturday. Miami failed to score touchdowns on two different drives inside the SMU 10-yard line.
Miami quarterback Carson Beck received an 88.6 Pro Football Focus grade on plays in Miami territory and a 58.6 grade on the SMU side of the field. Beck completed 26 passes in 38 attempts for 274 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.
The first Beck interception occurred when JoJo Trader bobbled a pass and Ahmaad Moses intercepted at the Miami 43 and returned it to the Hurricanes' 28.
