Danger, a Miami native and current student at the university, was shown in the crowd at Kyle Field during the second half wearing a white cropped top and orange skirt. It did not take long for viewers on X to notice.

"Cameraman thinks he's slick showing Abella Danger in the crowd," one user wrote, via the New York Post. Another added, "Ain't no way cameraman found Abella Danger in the stands." A third summed it up simply. "Bro knew what he was doing."

One viewer admitted to doing a double-take. "Did they just show the legend Abella Danger on my screen in this Miami vs Texas A&M game?"

Danger, who has 9.4 million followers on Instagram, openly celebrated the upset win as Miami advanced to the quarterfinals to face second-seeded Ohio State on Dec. 31.

"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 on Instagram.

Miami quarterback Carson Beck threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Malachi Toney late in the fourth quarter to break a 3-3 tie and seal the win. The moment proved emotional for Danger.

"Y'all I never imagined a touchdown could make me cry the way a touchdown made me cry today," she wrote in an Instagram Story.

Miami entered the playoff amid controversy after earning the final at-large bid, a decision that left Notre Dame out of the field despite its appearance in last season's national championship game.
