It was one of the most exciting games last season—not just in the Atlantic Coast Conference, but nationally. Miami jumped out to a 19-0 first-quarter lead in Atlanta, but Georgia Tech stormed back with 22 in the second and held a three-point halftime lead.

The Yellow Jackets scored two early third-quarter touchdowns, making for 36 unanswered points, but the Hurricanes refused go go away.

Miami held Georgia Tech scoreless the final 25 minutes of regulation, scored the final 17 points, tied the game 36-36 and forced overtime.

Linebacker Eddie Johnson stuffed a Tevin Washington run on 4th-and-1 from UM's 2-yard line, and after the turnover on downs, running back Mike James tore off the 25-yard game-winner on 2nd-and-10.

Last year's nailbiter at Georgia Tech was also the game in which Miami lost freshman wide receiver Malcolm Lewis to a dislocated ankle.

In one of the more touching college football moments in recent memory, Hurricanes head coach Al Golden rushed the field and cradled Lewis while the medical staff jumped into action and tended to the injured player (Lewis/Golden footage starts at around 5:20).

Lewis missed the rest of the season, rehabbed and had limited action this spring, including a ceremonial touchdown reception during a scrimmage at Sun Life Stadium.

The sophomore wide receiver is working his way back into game shape this season, catching one pass for nine yards late in the blowout over Savannah State.
