Texas A&M hosted Miami at Kyle Field on Saturday afternoon in a game that marked both teams’ College Football Playoff<\/a> debut.<\/p>\n

The Hurricanes earned the final at-large playoff spot over Notre Dame<\/a> with a 27-24 win over the Fighting Irish in the season opener.<\/p>\n

Miami wide receiver Malachi Toney\u2019s tiebreaking 11-yard touchdown reception with less than two minutes left lifted the Hurricanes to a 10-3 win over Texas A&M in Saturday\u2019s College Football Playoff first-round game.<\/p>\n

Mark Fletcher Jr. rushed for a career-high 172 yards to help the Hurricanes advance to the Cotton Bowl, where they will face defending champion Ohio State Dec. 31.<\/p>\n

Miami placekicker Carter Davis missed three field goals in gusty winds after missing only two all season before Saturday. His 21-yard kick early in the third quarter put the Canes on the board after the first scoreless first half in CFP history.<\/p>\n

Texas A&M<\/a> had an opportunity to force overtime. In the closing minutes, the Aggies put together their best offensive series of the day, driving into the red zone in the final minute.<\/p>\n

But quarterback Marcel Reed<\/a> threw an interception in the end zone, which sealed Miami\u2019s victory.<\/p>\n

The Hurricanes\u2019 push for what would be a sixth national championship \u2014 and their first since 2001 \u2014 remains alive. Next up, Miami will meet Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl Classic Dec. 31.<\/p>\n

Texas A&M’s lengthy national title drought will be extended by at least one more year.<\/p>\n

The Aggies haven\u2019t hoisted a national championship trophy since 1939.<\/p>\n
