Danger, a self-proclaimed lifelong Hurricanes fan, later shared her excitement on Instagram, posting photos and a caption reflecting on the thrill of witnessing the upset with only about 2,000 Miami supporters in attendance against 98,000 Aggies fans.
“The fact that in my lifetime I got to witness Miami beat A&M on their home turf with 98,000 of their fans and only 2000 something miami fans in attendance is something i will never ever forget 🥺🙌🏼💚🧡,” she wrote.
Her presence added a pop culture twist to the game, especially following pre-game sightings with former Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, who was seen throwing up Miami’s “The U” hand sign alongside her.
On the field, Miami’s defense delivered a dominant performance, recording seven sacks, nine tackles for loss and three takeaways while holding Texas A&M to just 89 rushing yards and 326 total yards. Freshman cornerback Bryce Fitzgerald shone with two interceptions, including a game-clinching pick in the end zone with 24 seconds remaining. Defensive end Rueben Bain contributed three sacks, four tackles for loss and a blocked field goal, helping stifle the Aggies’ offense despite three red zone opportunities that yielded only a field goal.

The Hurricanes’ offense sputtered early but sealed the win late when receiver Malachi Toney caught a pop pass for the game’s only touchdown with 1:44 left, breaking a 3-3 tie. Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed threw for 237 yards but faced constant pressure, as the Aggies’ line crumbled in the second half.
“We don’t take kindly to disrespect,” Bain said postgame. “Some people said some things they shouldn’t have said.” Miami coach Mario Cristobal lauded the defense’s turnaround: “A year ago, we had a tough time stopping people on defense. This was one of those games where we felt like we were holding good and knocking them back.” Aggies coach Mike Elko pinpointed the loss at the line of scrimmage: “We just couldn’t keep them off of us. We couldn’t get the run game established.”
The victory improves Miami to 12-1 and advances them to the Cotton Bowl quarterfinal against Ohio State. Danger, who teased a “quite informative” reason for her fandom tied to her time as a Miami student, embodied the Hurricanes’ underdog spirit in a game that blended on-field grit with off-field spectacle.
