  Miami's Darian Mensah is out to the best three-game start in terms of passing accuracy since at least 2000, according to Sportradar. He has completed 89.9% of his attempts (71 of 79) and is ahead of pace to break the Bowl Subdivision season record of 77.4% by Oregon's Bo Nix in 2023. Nix was at 84% through three games that year. - AP College Football

  OCT 7 WEEK 1 ASSOCIATED PRESS NATIONAL PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Malachi Toney, Miami,...Toney formed an immediate connection with Duke transfer quarterback Darian Mensah, catching 12 passes for 234 yards and three touchdowns in the Hurricanes' 45-6 win at Stanford. Toney set a Miami single-game receiving record, bettering the 220 yards by Eddie Brown against Boston College in 1984. Toney and Mensah teamed for 48 yards on Miami's first play from scrimmage and they finished the drive with a 23-yard touchdown. Toney caught a 2-yard TD pass on the second series, hauled in a 39-yard pass to set up another TD and finished his night with a 47-yard TD reception. - AP College Football

  No. 7 Miami set a school record for yards and tied the mark for points in a game, with quarterbacks Darian Mensah and Luke Nickel each throwing three touchdown passes in a 77-7 victory over lower-division Florida A&M on Thursday night. The Hurricanes finished with 856 yards, breaking the mark of 750 against Ball State in 2024. Miami had 77 points in a game twice previously, both against Savannah State. And the game was so one-sided that the teams agreed to shave five minutes off the fourth quarter, setting the clock for 10 minutes instead of the standard 15. By then, it was 77-0. The Hurricanes (2-0) finished with 42 first downs - another school record. "Pretty ridiculous," Mensah said when asked about a Miami offense that has scored 122 points in the season's first two games. "It's just a testament to the guys up front." Florida A&M (1-2) scored on a 72-yard fumble return by Caleb McKenzie with 6:40 left.

Miami opened its season with a 45-6 win at Stanford, and Hurricanes coach Mario Cristobal said he saw improvement from Week 1 to Week 2. "We did a lot," said Cristobal, who got his 99th career win. "Certainly, just wanted to see our guys play fast and free and improve. That was the most important thing; (going) 1-0 is always the goal, but in college football every single week you better get better. In some respects, I think we did that tonight." Mensah completed 14 of 15 passes for 252 yards and three first-half touchdowns, making him 41 of 45 for 653 yards and eight touchdowns in his first two games as a Hurricane. Javian Mallory and Mark Fletcher Jr. each rushed for two scores, and Malachi Toney - one of six Miami receivers with a touchdown catch - had four grabs for 96 yards. - AP College Football

  Darian Mensah threw five touchdown passes in his Miami debut, Malachi Toney set a school-record with 234 yards receiving and the seventh-ranked Hurricanes opened their season with an 45-6 victory over Stanford on Friday night. Mensah and Toney connected on touchdown passes on the first two drives of the game for Miami (1-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) and then again on a 47-yarder in the third quarter that set the school record. Eddie Brown had 220 yards receiving in 1984 against Boston College in what was known as the “Hail Flutie” game. Mensah transferred to Miami from Duke this offseason and took little time to show the impact he could have on the Hurricanes by throwing a 48-yard pass to Toney on his first snap to set the tone against Stanford (1-1, 0-1).

Mensah capped that drive with a 23-yard touchdown pass to Toney and the two connected on a 2-yard score on the next possession with Toney punctuating both TDs with a Heisman pose for the Hurricanes fans in that corner of the stadium. Mensah added another touchdown pass to Daylyn Upshaw in the second quarter, a 34-yarder to Cooper Barkate in the third and the deep strike to Toney. He finished 27 for 30 for 401 yards, setting records for the most yards and TDs in a debut for Miami. Mensah led all power conference quarterbacks last season with 3,973 yards passing last season and now is teamed with one of the most dynamic receivers in Toney, who had 109 catches for 1,211 yards last season as a freshman when he helped Miami reach the College Football Playoff title game. Davis Warren threw for 214 yards for Stanford but couldn’t get the Cardinal in the end zone after leading them to a 37-27 win over Hawaii in his Cardinal debut last week. - AP College Football

  Malachi Toney's tiebreaking 11-yard touchdown reception with less than two minutes left lifted No. 10 seed Miami to a 10-3 victory over No. 7 Texas A&M on Saturday in the College Football Playoff. Mark Fletcher Jr. had a career-high 172 yards rushing to help the Hurricanes (11-2) advance to the Cotton Bowl to face No. 2 seed Ohio State on Dec. 31. Toney's big play came a series after what looked a devastating mistake for the freshman. Toney made a reception, but Dalton Brooks knocked the ball out and Daymion Sanford recovered it on the Texas A&M 47 with about seven minutes to go. Teammates surrounded a visibly upset Toney on the bench, encouraging him and trying to keep him positive.

He and Miami's offense got another chance when Rueben Bain Jr. sacked Marcel Reed on two of three plays on the ensuing drive to force a punt. A career-long 56-yard run by Fletcher on the first play of the next drive got the Hurricanes to the Texas A&M 30 with about three minutes to go. Miami used four more runs by Fletcher to get into scoring position before Toney took the short toss from Carson Beck and dashed into the end zone. The Aggies had a chance to tie it after that but Bryce Fitzgerald intercepted Reed for the second time - this time in the end zone - to end it. - Miami/AP College Football

  Duke won its first outright Atlantic Coast Conference title since 1962 and threw the College Football Playoff into chaos on Saturday night when Darian Mensah connected with Jeremiah Hasley for a 1-yard touchdown on a fourth-down play in overtime, and the unranked Blue Devils held on to beat No. 16 Virginia 27-20. The Blue Devils (8-5) are unlikely to make the playoff field, opening the door for a second Group of Five team - likely James Madison - to make it. Duke last won a share of the ACC regular-season title in 1989, sharing it with Virginia in Steve Spurrier's final season as the Blue Devils' coach. The conference championship game was created in 2005, and Duke got there this year thanks to a five-team tiebreaker. Virginia (10-3), the ACC regular-season champion, would have reached the CFP for the first time in school history with a victory but fell short when Chandler Morris was intercepted by Luke Mergott on the Cavaliers' first offensive play of OT. Mensah threw for 196 yards and two scores - both to Hasley - while Nate Sheppard ran for 97 yards and a score for Duke. Virginia trailed by 10 with 5:02 left in regulation, but got a field goal from Will Bettridge before Morris capped a 10-play, 96-yard drive with an 18-yard strike to Eli Wood in the left corner of the end zone with 22 seconds left to tie it at 20-all.

In the extra period, Sheppard got the Blue Devils to the Virginia 2 with three runs. Duke was stuffed twice before Mensah rolled out and found Hasley for the go-ahead score. Virginia was flagged for roughing passer on the throw, meaning it had to start its overtime possession at the 40 instead of the 25. Morris fired downfield on first down and was picked off by Mergott, setting off a raucuous celebration. Morris, who finished 21 of 40 for 216 yards with two TDs and two interceptions, was in tears after the game. J'Mari Taylor, the ACC's leading rusher, was limited to 65 yards on 15 carries and scored on an 11-yard reception. Duke established control of the line of scrimmage early. The Blue Devils controlled the clock in the first half, putting together the two longest drives in ACC championship game history - 9:38 and 8:02 - culminating with a 12-yard touchdown catch by Hasley and a 16-yard run by Sheppard to take a 14-7 lead into halftime. Duke coach Manny Diaz, who ran a fake field goal that led to the Blue Devils' dramatic win over rival North Carolina, called a fake punt on Duke's go-ahead drive in the second quarter. It worked, with Kevin O'Connor taking the direct snap and running up the middle for 6 yards. - Duke/AP College Football

  12/02/25 - Francis Mauigoa, Jr/2026, Miami, 6-6, 327 (DS#1 OT) + More +

  2025 ACC JACOBS BLOCKING TROPHY WINNER: Miami offensive lineman Francis Mauigoa has been voted the winner of the 2025 Jacobs Blocking Trophy, the Atlantic Coast Conference announced on Monday. Mauigoa is the first Miami Hurricane to receive the ACC Jacobs Blocking Trophy. The Jacobs Blocking Trophy has been awarded annually since 1953 to the player selected most outstanding blocker in the ACC by a poll of the league's head coaches and defensive coordinators. The trophy is given in memory of William P. Jacobs, who served as president of Presbyterian College from 1935 to 1945. Mauigoa, a 6-6, 335-pound junior from Ili'ili, American Samoa, has played and started in every game for the Hurricanes at right tackle for each of the last three years, earning All-ACC recognition in both 2023 and 2024, and Freshman All-America honors in 2023.

Mauigoa has been one of Miami's highest-graded offensive linemen, starting all 38 games at right tackle since arriving in 2023. His 85.9 overall grade from Pro Football Focus ranks sixth among all offensive tackles nationally, while his 88.8 pass-blocking grade is the third best in college football. A projected first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, Mauigoa anchors an offensive line that ranks eighth nationally in sacks allowed (0.92) and sixth in tackles-for-loss allowed (3.50). He was also named to the Joe Moore Award midseason honor roll recognizing the nation's top offensive line units. He was also named both an ACC Offensive Lineman and Outland Trophy National Player of the Week this season and was on several preseason watch lists, including the Outland Trophy and the Wuerffel Trophy. - ACC Football

  11/29/25 - Darian Mensah, rJr/2028, Miami, 6-3, 205 (DS#3 QB) + More +

  Darian Mensah reached a record-setting passing touchdown total for Duke as the Blue Devils stayed alive for a chance at an Atlantic Coast Conference championship by defeating Wake Forest 49-32 on Saturday. Duke (7-5, 6-2 ACC) can reach next week's ACC title game if a couple of results in the conference fall its way later Saturday night. Mensah also ran for his first TD of the season. The transfer from Tulane finished the game 24-for-35 passing for 268 yards in the air. Anderson Castle and Nate Sheppard each had two touchdown runs and the Blue Devils never trailed in defeating Wake Forest (8-4, 4-4) for the fourth year in a row. Sahmir Hagans caught a touchdown pass and made an 80-yard kickoff return to set up the first points of the fourth quarter. Robby Ashford threw for two touchdowns and 342 yards and ran for a touchdown and a two-point conversion, but Wake Forest's three-game winning streak ended. The Demon Deacons committed four turnovers - including a fumble at the Duke 18-yard line with 6:38 left and were hit with 97 yards worth of penalties. Duke, which used a fake field goal to set up the winning touchdown a week earlier at North Carolina, pulled off a successful fake punt with less than 10 minutes to go with punter Kade Reynoldson running for a first down. The Blue Devils didn't score on the drive but chewed up an extra 2½ minutes while holding a 42-32 lead. Mensah's third-quarter touchdown pass to Hagans for 30 yards set the Duke single-season record with 27 before he added another in the game's final minute. - Duke/AP College Football

  11/29/25 - Carson Beck, rSr/2026, Miami, 6-5, 233 (DS#4 QB) + More +

  Carson Beck passed for 267 yards with three touchdowns and an interception as No. 13 Miami beat No. 24 Pittsburgh 38-7 on Saturday to keep its slim hopes for a spot in the ACC title game alive, at least for a few hours. The Hurricanes (10-2, 6-2 ACC) need several other outcomes across the league to go their way later Saturday to earn a spot in the conference championship next week in Charlotte. The more long-range - and far more pressing - matter for Miami is whether it has done enough to earn one of the at-large berths in the College Football Playoff. The Hurricanes ripped off four straight wins by an average of 27.5 points to close the regular season. Miami's resume also includes a victory over No. 6 Notre Dame in the season opener. A lot has happened over the last three months, though the Hurricanes hope their play down the stretch puts them back in the position they thought they'd be to start the season: in the mix to play for a national title.

Beck connected on 23 of 29 passes to finish the regular season with a 74.7% completion percentage, tops in the FBS and a new program record. The Georgia transfer added an exclamation point at the end, a 33-yard heave to CJ Daniels in the final minute with victory well in hand in hopes of adding some style points against a team ranked No. 22 in this week's CFP rankings. Malachi Toney caught 13 passes for 126 yards and added a 9-yard lob to Elija Lofton for a score in the second quarter that gave the Hurricanes a lead they never came close to squandering. Pitt (8-4, 6-2) came in with its own hopes of reaching the ACC championship. They evaporated in the late November chill as Miami hounded Panthers freshman quarterback Mason Heintschel and wore Pitt's defense down in the second half. Heintschel, whose promotion to starter in early October coincided with the start of Pitt's six-game ACC winning streak, was sacked on the game's first play, and the Hurricanes never really let up. He shook off a leg injury late in the first half to return for the second but completed just 22 of 32 for 199 yards with a touchdown and an interception. - Miami/AP College Football
