Louisville<\/a> pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the 2025 college football<\/a> season Friday, knocking off No. 2 Miami<\/a> 24-21 to shake up both the ACC title and College Football Playoff races. The win wouldn’t have been possible without the late heroics of linebacker T.J. Capers<\/a>, who made an incredible defensive play in the final minute.<\/p>\n With Miami facing third-and-1 from the Louisville 31-yard line and 36 seconds remaining, quarterback Carson Beck<\/a> tried to throw a quick pass near the sideline to move the chains. The ball was deflected at the line of scrimmage, and Capers somehow came down with the interception to seal the game.<\/p>\n The pick gave Louisville its first-ever road win over an AP top-five opponent.<\/p>\n Miami (5-1, 1-1 ACC) entered as the favorite to win the ACC crown, but the loss complicates its path to the conference title game. The Hurricanes remain the betting favorite at +260, per FanDuel<\/a>, ahead of Georgia Tech<\/a> (+370) and Virginia<\/a> (+400). Notably, Miami doesn’t face either of those teams during the regular season.<\/p>\n While Miami’s title hopes remain intact, Beck’s Heisman campaign took a major hit. The senior finished 25 of 35 for 271 yards and four interceptions. Beck opened the week as the Heisman favorite at 3\/1 but dropped to 40\/1 following the loss.<\/p>\n Louisville (5-1, 2-1) heads to Boston College<\/a> next Saturday before closing ACC play with games against Virginia Tech<\/a>, Cal, Clemson<\/a> and SMU<\/a>. The Cardinals, now listed at 6\/1, have the fifth-best odds to win the ACC after the upset \u2014 one fueled by Capers’ game-clinching defensive gem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ESPN Louisville pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the 2025 college football season Friday, knocking off…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9494,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[4654,143,2515,123,4641,125,124,9376],"class_list":["post-9493","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-carson-beck","tag-college-football","tag-louisville-cardinals","tag-miami","tag-miami-fla-hurricanes","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news","tag-t-j-capers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9493","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9493"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9493\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9494"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9493"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9493"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
