He hit Laron Byrd with a 40-yard scoring pass in the first period and threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to Dedrick Epps in the second.

Harris gave Miami a 31-10 lead late in the third period with a 14-yard toss to Jimmy Graham. The Miami quarterback completed 20-of-25 passes and Graig Cooper added 102 rushing yards on 18 carries.

Georgia Tech, which rushed for 301 yards in a win over Clemson last week, managed only 129 yards on the ground against Miami.
