First Quarter


The game began with Miami taking an early lead, scoring 7 points while holding SMU scoreless. Carson Beck's precise passing was instrumental, completing 68 percent of his throws and connecting for two touchdowns throughout the match.


Second Quarter


In the second quarter, SMU responded with a touchdown of their own to level the scoreline. The 'Canes managed to add another field goal by Carter Davis, who maintained his perfect kicking record with two successful attempts from distances up to 45 yards.


Third Quarter


As play resumed after halftime, both teams intensified their efforts on offense and defense. Miami added another touchdown thanks to Joshisa Trader's impressive reception that covered 36 yards—the longest touchdown pass of the day for Beck.


Fourth Quarter


The fourth quarter saw both defenses tighten up significantly; each team only managed a field goal apiece during this period. Keionte Scott stood out defensively for Miami with one sack and nine combined tackles.


Overtime


With regular time ending in a tie at 20-20, overtime was needed to determine the winner. Unfortunately for Miami fans, it was SMU who clinched victory by scoring six points without reply from 'Canes' offense.


Despite this setback in Dallas during week ten action—highlighted by strong performances from players like Mark Fletcher Jr., who rushed for over eighty yards—the post-game report Miami (FL) Hurricanes suggests areas needing improvement before their next encounter against Syracuse Orange scheduled on November eighth at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens starting at 3:30 PM EDT live via ESPN broadcast network coverage.
