Miami, Rueben Bain hits uncanny sack mark on Texas A&M’s Marcel Reed

Miami (FL) football turned loose its defenders to make a huge national statement Saturday. Rueben Bain became unleashed both on the field then online after beating Texas A&M. But Bain and the Hurricanes hit an uncanny mark facing Marcel Reed.

The dual-threat quarterback entered the College Football Playoff as one of the least sacked QBs this season. Reed only took 10 sacks during the Aggies’ 11-1 campaign — with a massive front five responsible for the low number. Even tackle Trey Zuhn III believed he and the Texas A&M line would handle Bain and company.

However, Miami hit an uncanny sack mark on Reed per CanesInSight: Snatching him seven times inside Kyle Field. Bain became responsible for three of those sacks.

Miami’s mark shatters the previous best Auburn hit among opposing defenses (four in the Aggies’ 16-10 win on Sept. 27).

The Hurricanes didn’t reach Reed until the second possession — plus at the 4:11 mark of the first quarter.

Corey Hetherman turned to the secondary to dial the pressure up, by sending safety Keionte Scott. The defensive back forced the early fumble in the process.

Scott even played the “spy” role on Reed — halting this attempted QB keeper behind the line of scrimmage for sack No. 2.

Bain performed his damage at multiple spots: One here lining up on the right side, then on this hustle sack following some pressure via Akheem Mesidor.

Mesidor joined the sack party too — beating Zuhn through speed-to-power before wrapping up Reed.
