???? OFFENSIVE OUTBURST : Miami’s 33 points are the most by the Hurricanes versus the Yellow Jackets
since a 49-7 win on Nov. 10, 1967 in the Orange Bowl. In addition, it is the most points Georgia Tech has
given up to an ACC opponent since allowing 51 points to Virginia Tech on Sept. 24, 2005.
???? The Hurricanes racked up over 400 yards of offense for the second-straight game, finishing with
454 total yards of offense to follow up a 476-yard effort in the win at Florida State. Both games
produced more offensive yardage than Miami’s season high in 2008 – a 448-yard performance in
the 24-17 overtime win at Virginia on Nov. 1, 2008.
???? Miami last recorded consecutive 400-yard games in 2007, with four straight dating from Sept. 15
through Oct. 6.
???? BACK-TO-BACK: The Hurricanes last defeated back-to-back ranked opponents in a season in 2003,
knocking off No. 20 Pittsburgh, 28-14, on Nov. 29, and then defeating No. 9 Florida State, 16-14, in the
Orange Bowl on Jan. 1.
Miami last beat back-to-back ranked opponents during the regular season (not including bowl games) in
2001 – defeating No. 12 Washington, 65-7, on Nov. 24 and then knocking off No. 14 Virginia Tech, 26-24,
on Dec. 1, en route to a national championship.
The last time Miami opened a season with back-to-back wins over ranked opponents was in 1988, with a
season-opening 31-0 victory over No. 1 Florida State on Sept. 3, followed by a 31-30 win over No. 15
Michigan on Sept. 17.
???? QUARTERBACK U: Jacory Harris has set a new Miami standard, posting new all-time highs in
passing yardage versus two-straight opponents. Harris passed for a UM-best 386 yards in the win over
Florida State and passed for a Miami-best 270 yards versus the Yellow Jackets tonight (20 completions on
25 attempts).
???? STOPPING THE RUN: Miami’s defense kept Georgia Tech to just 95 rushing yards – its lowest output
on the ground since rushing for 79 yards in a 10-7 win over Gardner-Webb on Oct. 11, 2008 and less than
1/3 of its average of 318 rushing yards per game coming into tonight’s game.
In addition, Miami’s D limited Georgia Tech to just 228 yards of offense – less than half of its season
average of 457.5 yards per game entering tonight’s contest. It marks the lowest offensive production for the
Yellow Jackets since they recorded 199 yards of total offense in that win over Gardner-Webb on Oct. 11,
2008.
???? ON POINT: Matt Bosher has made 49 consecutive PATs to claim sole possession of second place alltime
in the Hurricanes record book in consecutive point after touchdowns. The record of 51 was set by
Carlos Huerta in 1990. Bosher entered the game with 45 straight, which tied for third place.
???? TWO-SPORT STAR : After playing four years of basketball for the Hurricanes, tight end Jimmy
Graham scored his first career touchdown on his first career reception of 14 yards to put Miami up 30-10
with 3:08 remaining in the third quarter. Matt Bosher’s PAT made it 31-10 Miami.

???? AERIAL ATTACK: LaRon Byrd’s 40-yard touchdown reception in the opening quarter marked the
longest reception of his career. The play was set up by a 35-yard reception by Leonard Hankerson – his
second-longest catch of the season.
???? Seven different Hurricanes have recorded receptions of at least 20 yards this season, while four
have receptions of 30-plus.
???? Sophomore quarterback Jacory Harris has completed passes to seven different receivers in
tonight’s opening half, while nine different players recorded receptions in the game.
???? Dedrick Epps’ 13-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter marked his first of the season
and the fourth of his career.
???? Senior tight end Tervaris Johnson recorded his first career reception with a 14-yard catch in the
third quarter for a first and goal, leading to a Javarris James TD run.
???? SAFETY IS A PRIORITY: The Hurricanes recorded a safety in the third quarter when Georgia Tech’s
punter kicked the ball out of the end zone following a bad snap to go up 33-10. It was the first safety by
Miami since Oct. 11, 2008 versus UCF and the first safety given up by the Yellow Jackets since Oct. 28,
2004 versus Virginia Tech.
???? RUSH HOUR : Javarris James’ 14-yard run for a first down in the third quarter marked a season long,
while Graig Cooper’s 31-yard run in the fourth quarter marked his longest run of the season.
???? Cooper finished with a team-high 93 rushing yards on 17 carries – his best rushing performance
since a 131-yard ground game at Virginia on Nov. 1, 2008.
???? James tallied a season-high 72 yards on 14 carries – the most for him since a 75-yard effort versus
NC State on Nov. 29, 2008.
???? D-D-D-DEFENSE: Brandon Harris notched his team-leading third pass break up of the season in the
second quarter, deflecting a pass intended for Kevin Cone.
???? Darryl Sharpton finished with a season- and team-high eight tackles, while Sam Shields finished
with a career-high six tackles.
???? CAREER HIGHS: LaRon Byrd set several career highs in the opening half – and went on to finish with
a career-high 83 receiving yards on a career-high five receptions, including a career-long catch of 40 yards
for a TD in the first quarter.
???? WELCOME HOME: With the win, the Hurricanes improved to 2-0 in home openers at Land Shark

the Hurricanes have gone 22-2 in home openers, while Miami improves to 61-22-1 all time in home openers.
???? TGI THURSDAY: With tonight’s victory, the Hurricanes improved to 14-2 all-time in ESPN’s Thursday
night feature games and have won 12 of their last 13 ESPN Thursday games. The Hurricanes have been a

Miami Head Coach Randy Shannon

Opening statement…
“Big win for us tonight and for these kids at the University of Miami. We were 0-4 vs. Georgia Tech the last four years. Our guys came out and played hard and did what we asked of them. They stayed within the game and after we scored a couple early touchdowns, we kept pounding the football and it was just a team effort. We got to give those guys credit and the rushing yards we held them to. We still have a lot of things to improve on but that’s why you play games.”

On the effect of the first drive touchdown…
“We knew in this game that Georgia Tech likes to start fast on offense. So it was big to hold them to a field goal. We knew that our defense would make a couple corrections and be fine. And then our offense came out and made a bunch of big plays, some big throws and catches. That gave us a lot of excitement and we knew that each side could feed off each other.”

On Bosher’s missed field goals…
“We need to get better, we’re not a perfect football team. Those kicks could come in critical situations.”

On being called underrated…
“I don’t get into that sort of thing, we’re just going to play football and that’s it.”

On the rush defense improving from last year…
“We’re an older football team. These guys last year were either redshirt freshmen, sophomores or true freshmen. We also got Randy Phillips and Collin McCarthy back for this game.”

On what he learned tonight that he did not know after Florida State…
“This team knows the importance of going out and competing. The first thing was responding against Florida State after being nine points down. The next thing was challenging them to respond. They came out and responded the way they needed to, but it started in practice. We didn’t need to beg and plead for this team to stay focused. They were focused throughout the pregame for this game.”

On the poise of Miami QB Jacory Harris…
“He has confidence in this football team, the offensive line and receivers, and when you have confidence like he does, the sky is the limit. Without the offensive line doing what they did against a big pass rusher like [GT's Derrick] Morgan, we wouldn’t have been successful.”

On first-year Miami offensive coordinator Mark Whipple…
“Mark Whipple thinks he can score 100 points every time we go out there. He’s done a great job of getting the offense to adopt his mentality. The offense believes that no matter what play is called, the play is going to work.”

On this game being this biggest win since ’02…
“Each game will be big from this game on. It was a big win for us.”

Miami QB Jacory Harris

On how significant losing the last four years to Georgia Tech was…
“It mattered the most to this team because it gave us fire and motivation to go out and beat this team. They came out with their tricky offense that most teams can’t stop, but our defense went out there and did a great job tonight. We had lost to Georgia Tech the last four years and it would’ve felt bad walking off the field and losing to Georgia Tech another year in a row.”

On making it look so easy…
“It’s not easy, you just have to have trust and have faith in everybody. As long as you have faith and trust that your receiver is going to run the right route, your o-line is going to protect, your running back is going to protect or catch the ball… We watch so much film throughout the week with Coach Whipple, he shows you that in a certain coverage, if this man drops here, this man is going to be open.”

On protection from the offensive line…
“Last game was the last time I had this good of protection.”

On what’s different about the offense…
“We are just having fun and executing like we were taught.”

On the touchdown to Jimmy Graham…
“He was my first read, but Georgia Tech may have blown their coverage and had the mike linebacker shaded to the left, nobody covering the tight end, with the safety dropped back 10 yards. So I was hoping Jimmy didn’t run his route, and he was on the same page so he didn’t. He just ran to the open spot on the field and scored a touchdown.”

On whether they opened up the playbook…
“I think we ran some of the things we were supposed to run last week. Last week we ran a lot of plays, but there were some repeats and some things we left out that we ran this week. Mark Whipple is a very creative man and has a lot in store for this season.”

On taking it game by game instead of thinking about the first four games all together…
“One thing I want to congratulate this team on is our ability to stay focused. There’s a lot of people in the community that are praising us now and they are hyping us up, but this team isn’t taking anything to the head. We are very humble we understand we have other teams at hand we have to beat. In order to stay undefeated you have to win the next game.”

Senior DB Randy Phillips

On the success of the defensive scheme…
“Well, [Miami defensive coordinator John] Lovett wasn’t here last year so, we put in the scheme this year and that’s what worked for us. There is a different mentality. A lot of people expect us to fold, but I don’t know what they are thinking. We are ready for anyone. We are embracing the schedule and we are ready for it.”

Georgia Tech Head Coach Paul Johnson

Opening statement…
“Well it was a tough game. We pretty much got beat in every facet of the game. We could never get them off the field and the first chance, we missed some opportunities. We had some poor penalties. I think we had the ball four times in the first half and three times in the second. To win a game like that, you better maximize. We didn’t.”

On the challenge of UM’s offense…
“We will go back and take a look at it, but I’m sure a large part of it is good play on their part and I’m sure we helped them some. We never really got any pressure on the quarterback. When you give him that kind of time, those things are going to happen.”

On fatigue after three games in 12 days…
“I don’t know, I think they just beat us. I’m not going to blame it on fatigue.”

On Miami’s extra time to prepare…
“No. I don’t know. We played very poorly on offense. There was about four or five times there was a ball pitched to the perimeter and there was one guy out there and we missed their guy every time. It makes it hard to get anything going.”

On the play of Miami QB Jacory Harris…
“I thought he played a great game. He did what he needed to do. I guess really there wasn’t a turnover in the game.”

On figuring out the on-again off-again Georgia Tech offense…
“I think I can – one, we’re not as good as we like to be and two – you’re not going to score every time you get the ball. We aren’t good enough to do that.”

On Miami’s offense…
“They made plays, we didn’t make any. They pretty much moved the ball at will. It didn’t matter if it was first and 20 or first and whatever, they made the first down.”

Dave Wommack, GT Defensive Coordinator

On defensive schemes…
“We decided to go zone, zone blitz against them, and they were getting people open back behind our linebackers. We couldn’t pressure them in time with their max protection, when they were in two backs.”

On the energy level…
“I really thought the kids coming in were energized, but we’ll go back, evaluate and watch the film.”

Morgan Burnett, GT Safety

On tackling errors…
“Basically we were just out there missing tackles. It was just bad all the way around.”

On taking something away from the game…
“We just got to go out there prepared for next week against North Carolina and learn from a lesson like this. Give Miami a lot of credit; their guys did a great job today.”

On getting beat deep…
“If one person on defense makes a mistake, then it’s going to slip up and be a big mistake. We’ve got to clean up on making mistakes and play our assignments.”

Sean Bedford, GT Center

On pinpointing the problem…
“I think the problems we had tonight came down to not executing the little things. We had a lot of times where we had the play there, and we could have broken it if we had just had one little block made or one step in one direction. We just didn’t do that tonight.”

Elaborating on execution… “I think we – as an offense – should apologize to Yellow Jacket Nation, because we’ve been talking all year about how much better we’re going to be as an offense, how we’re going to execute and how you haven’t seen anything yet. We haven’t done that to this point.”

Josh Nesbitt, GT Quarterback

On performance…
“We didn’t play. They wanted it [more] than us.”

On lack of energy…
“We just didn’t show up. To be a champion, you have to show up.”
