Recap: Miami hangs on for massive victory over No.17 Pittsburgh

The Miami Hurricanes did just enough in the second half on Saturday afternoon to upset No.17 Pittsburgh on the road at Heinz Field.

The Hurricanes jumped out to a 14-point lead on two different occasions in the first half and got a massive interception late from true freshman safety James Williams to hang on to defeat the Panthers 38-34.

The victory keeps Miami (4-4, 2-2) alive in the ACC Coastal race and deals Pittsburgh (6-2, 3-1) its first ACC loss.

Miami wins back-to-back games over ranked opponents for the first time since 2017 when the Hurricanes defeated Virginia Tech and Notre Dame in consecutive weeks.
