Miami opened their 2016 ACC schedule with a closer-than-it-should-have-been 35-21 win over Georgia Tech on Saturday afternoon.
As they are want to do, Georgia Tech dominated the time of possession, holding the ball for 40 minutes during the game. The Yellow Jacket offense ran for 267 yards on 54 carries (4.9 ypc average), and created plenty of problems for the Miami defense.
Georgia Tech used a wrinkle to their flexbone option attack: instead of giving the ball to the B-back up the middle mostly, the Yellow Jackets continually went to toss plays and counter options get their players on the edges of the Miami defense.
