08/31/25 - Carson Beck, rSr/2026, Miami, 6-4, 220 (DS#4 QB) + More +

Carter Davis made a 47-yard field goal with 1:04 left for the go-ahead score, Carson Beck threw for 205 yards and two touchdowns in his Miami debut, and the 10th-ranked Hurricanes beat No. 6 Notre Dame 27-24 in the opener for both teams on Sunday night. CJ Daniels made a spectacular one-handed touchdown grab and Rueben Bain had an interception on a thrice-deflected pass in the fourth quarter for the Hurricanes, who outgained Notre Dame 324 yards to 314. Malachi Toney had a touchdown catch and Marty Brown added a TD run for Miami. CJ Carr, in his first start for Notre Dame, finished 19 of 30 for 221 yards with two touchdown passes and an interception - plus a rushing score with 3:21 left that tied the game, capping a rally from 14 points down. Micah Gilbert and Jordan Faison had the scoring grabs for the Irish. Miami went 46 yards on 10 plays on the ensuing drive, with Davis - a transfer from FAU - delivering for the lead. Notre Dame got the ball at its own 25, out of timeouts, and went nowhere before time expired.

Miami won the coin toss and deferred, which proved relevant - since the Hurricanes essentially ran out the clock on the first half with a 75-yard TD drive, then started the second half with another 75-yard TD march. Carr's first collegiate touchdown pass came on a play where he dropped back, zigging and zagging to avoid pressure, then ran back toward the line before finding Gilbert for what became a rather easy score that tied the game at 7-7. Nearly an hour passed in real time before Carr threw another ball, as Miami essentially had back-to-back possessions separated only by an Irish kneel-down to end the half. Daniels' 20-yard grab came with 12 seconds left before halftime to give Miami a 14-7 lead, and the Hurricanes chewed up half of the third-quarter clock on another 75-yard drive capped by Brown's 5-yard run. - Miami/AP College Football

Cam Ward threw for 385 yards and three touchdowns - looking cool, calm and collected on a sweltering Saturday in the Swamp - and No. 19 Miami dominated Florida 41-17 to give coach Mario Cristobal a signature victory to start his third season at his alma mater. The Hurricanes controlled both lines of scrimmage and never trailed in the renewal of a once-heated rivalry. The latest iteration was a one-sided beatdown, the kind that sent Florida fans scurrying for the exits in the third quarter and raised speculation about coach Billy Napier's job security. Napier fell to 11-15 in Gainesville, including 2-10 against ranked opponents and 1-8 against rivals Miami, Florida State, Georgia, LSU and Tennessee. The Gators lost their sixth consecutive game overall and witnessed the end of their 33-game winning streak in home openers, a run that started with Steve Spurrier's arrival in 1990. Now, Napier has the same number of losses at Florida Field in two-plus seasons (five) as Spurrier had in a dozen years.

Ward, the former Incarnate Word and Washington State starter, showed why he was the Atlantic Coach Conference's preseason Player of the Year before ever playing a down in a Miami uniform. He completed 25 of 33 passes, with an interception. Ward became the first Miami QB since at least 1979 to throw for 300 yards in his first start with the team. Scott Covington threw for 295 against Boston College in in 1996, which had been the most by a Miami quarterback in his debut over the last 45 seasons. Xavier Restrepo caught seven passes for 112 yards, including a 24-yarder for a touchdown. Ward's best throw, though, was a 23-yarder in the back of the end zone to Jacolby George. - AP College Football

Carson Beck threw for 278 yards, including a pair of touchdowns, and No. 1 Georgia opened another season of enormous expectations by stifling 14th-ranked Clemson 34-3 on Saturday. Leading only 6-0 at halftime, Georgia finally got its offense rolling in the third quarter with a pair of 75-yard touchdown drives, capped by Colbie Young's 7-yard reception and Nate Frazier's 1-yard run. Beck tacked on a 40-yard TD pass to London Humphreys that sent the Clemson side of Mercedes-Benz Stadium heading for the exits. Clemson was held to 188 yards and Nolan Hauser's 26-yard field goal. - AP College Football

12/01/23 - Cam Ward, rSr/2025, Miami, 6-2, 219 (DS#1 QB) + More +

Washington State quarterback Cameron Ward became the latest big name quarterback to announce plans to enter the transfer portal on Friday. Ward posted on social media that he will be evaluating his prospects for the NFL draft while also entering his name in the portal as a grad transfer. Ward was fourth in the country throwing for for 3,736 yards and 25 touchdowns this season for the Cougars. But it was a tumultuous season for Washington State that started with the school being left out in the latest round of conference realignment, included a 4-0 start and was followed by a six-game losing streak.

Ward was at the center of praise for Washington State's hot start but also criticism for the losing streak that cost the Cougars a chance at a bowl game. Washington State's season ended last week with a 24-21 loss to rival Washington. If Ward stays in college this will be his second transfer. He started his career at FCS school Incarnate Word, where he threw for 4,648 yards and 47 touchdowns in the 2021 season. Ward arrived in Pullman before the 2022 season and threw for 3,232 yards and 23 touchdowns in his first season with the Cougars. - AP College Football

11/30/23 - Rueben Bain Jr., Jr/2027, Miami, 6-3, 275 (DS#3 DE) + More +

2023 ACC DEFENSIVE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR: Rueben Bain, Jr., Miami,...Bain recorded at least one tackle in 11 games through the regular season for the Hurricanes. In back-to-back weeks in October, Bain recorded 15 total tackles and four sacks in ACC play, including a career-high eight stops against Clemson. One week later, Bain logged a career-high 2.5 tackles-for-loss in the Canes' win over Virginia. The freshman earned back-to-back ACC Defensive Lineman of the Week honors for the strong showings.

Bain is one of just 11 players and the only freshman in the nation to have multiple individual performances of at least two sacks this year. Throughout his freshman campaign, Bain has totaled a team-best 7.5 sacks, good for a fourth-place tie in the ACC, and 9.5 tackles-for-loss. His 7.5 sacks are tied for the most among all freshmen in FBS. Bain is also tied for the Miami lead with a pair of forced fumbles. Bain helped anchor the stingy front line for the Hurricanes, which has given up the second-fewest rushing yards among ACC teams. Miami finished the regular season ranked 12th nationally in run defense, allowing just 97.1 yards per game on the ground. - ACC Football
