Josh Nesbitt had already fumbled on one fourth-down play, gotten tripped up on another. He'd also been stuffed trying to run for a first down, and had yet another all-or-nothing play ruined by a dropped pass. Yet there he was in overtime, standing on the sideline with coach Paul Johnson, insisting he could get the 18 inches or so Georgia Tech needed to keep alive its Atlantic Coast Conference...

Wake Forest defensive end Lee Malchow has been injured on the opening kickoff against No. 10 Georgia Tech. Malchow was down for several minutes Saturday while a cart was brought out and his right leg was wrapped, an indication it may be broken.

Ryan McManus has waited for this chance for his entire career. He once was a scout team member of the Wake Forest defense.

This week, he might be the team's starting quarterback if Riley Skinner is unable to play after sustaining a mild concussion in the fourth quarter against Miami.

McManus, despite his presence in the program for a fifth year, is largely inexperienced. He completed 5-of-9 passes in emergency duty against Miami.

Last year, he was a third-string quarterback. Then Brett Hodges graduated and chose to use his final season of eligibility at Central Florida, which elevated McManus for a shot at becoming the backup quarterback.

"This last spring, really by default without a lot of quarterbacks on the roster, he got...

On biggest Miami play, Harris went to an old pal (AP)

Game on the line, fourth down, final moments, needing a touchdown to win. Miami's Jacory Harris and Aldarius Johnson had been there together before. Maybe that's why they made it look so easy Saturday, when they saved Miami's Atlantic Coast Conference hopes in a 28-27 victory over Wake Forest.

Miami's offense didn't do a lot for most of the game while the defense couldn't seem to stop Riley Skinner and the Wake Forest offense. Yet none of that mattered, thanks to Jacory Harris and his opportunistic Hurricanes teammates. Harris threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Travis Benjamin with 1:08 left and No.
