While the Dallas Cowboys may have been eliminated from the NFL playoffs a few weeks ago, one of the team's legends is still enjoying some postseason success thanks to his alma mater.

Cowboys legend and Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Irvin has been a mainstay on the Miami Hurricanes sideline throughout the 2025 college football season, and Wednesday night, he witnessed a stunner when Miami upset the defending national champion Ohio State Buckeyes.

It was Miami's second straight upset, after earning a win over No. 7 Texas A&M before knocking off the No. 2 Buckeyes in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic at AT&T Stadium, home of the Cowboys.

As is always the case, Irvin had his viral moments throughout the game thanks to his intense reactions, but nothing had people buzzing more than his "BTA" celebration.

Irvin shared the video of his celebration on social media.

You have to appreciate that level of enthusiasm.

With the win, the Hurricanes advance to the College Football Playoff semifinals, where they will face the winner of Thursday's Sugar Bowl between No. 3 Georgia and No. 6 Ole Miss in the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl.

The Fiesta Bowl will go down at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, with kickoff set for 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
