Before every game, Miami safety JoJo Nicholas reaches into his gym bag and pulls out a blanket, then rubs it on his hands while saying a quick prayer. He prays to his son, who died a few weeks ago after being prematurely born. It's these moments that make him savor days like Saturday so much more. Nicholas recovered a fumbled punt for a touchdown plus added an interception, Lamar Miller ran for 93 yards and a score and Miami's banged-up defense was dominant as the Hurricanes topped Georgia Tech (No. 22 BCS, No. 20 AP) 24-7 on Saturday -- holding the high-octane Yellow Jackets more than 300 yards and nearly 36 points below their season averages entering the game.
