  11/22/25 - Carson Beck, rSr/2026, Miami, 6-5, 233 (DS#4 QB) + More +

  Carson Beck threw for 320 yards and four touchdowns to lead No. 14 Miami to a 34-17 victory over Virginia Tech on Saturday. Malachi Toney had career highs in receptions (12) and yards (146) and had a touchdown, lifting the Hurricanes (9-2, 5-2 ACC, No. 13 CFP) to their third straight win and keeping alive their hopes of making it to the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game. Beck, who completed his first 11 passes and finished 27 of 32, threw touchdown passes of 20 yards to Elija Lofton and 3 yards to Mark Fletcher in the first half, and Carter Davis added two field goals, as Miami scored on all four first-half possessions to take a 20-3 halftime lead.

Virginia Tech (3-8, 2-5) cut the lead to 20-10 on a 38-yard touchdown run by Jeffrey Overton on its first possession of the second half, but Miami answered with a 16-yard TD pass from Beck to Girard Pringle Jr. nearly seven minutes later. Beck added a 20-yard touchdown pass to Toney in the final minute for the Hurricanes, who finished with 418 yards. Marcellous Hawkins finished with 72 yards on eight carries for the Hokies, who had 194 yards rushing against the ACC's No. 1 rushing defense (81.8 ypg) and lost their third straight game. - Miami/AP College Football

  11/22/25 - Jack Olsen, rSr/2027, Miami, 5-10, 195 (DS#22 K) + More +

  Jack Olsen's third field goal of the game, from 33 yards, snapped a tie with 53 seconds left and Northwestern ended a three-game losing streak with a wild 38-35 win over Minnesota at Wrigley Field on Saturday. Olsen's boot capped a 14-play, 60-yard drive as Northwestern rebounded from a 28-13 third-quarter deficit to snap a three-game losing streak. Minnesota's Brady Denaburg's 40-yard field-goal attempt as time expired went wide to the left, and the Wildcats (6-5, 4-4 Big Ten) held on for their first victory ever at the historic home of the Chicago Cubs in eight tries dating to 1923. Preston Stone threw for two touchdowns and 305 yards on 25-for-30 passing. Caleb Komolafe hauled in his first reception touchdown this season and ran for another to increase his season total 11 TDs and finish with 129 total yards. Griffin Wilde pulled in a reception TD and 111 total yards and Joseph Himon II rushed for a score. Drake Lindsey passed for four touchdowns - three to Javon Tracy - but Minnesota (6-5, 4-4) lost its second straight.

Lindsey, a 20-year-old redshirt freshman, finished with 264 yards on 20-for-30 passing. He started connecting consistently after Northwestern got out to 10-0 and 13-7 leads after it scored on its first three possessions. Linsdey hit Lemeke Brockington with an 8-yard pass for his fourth TD with 8:20 left in the fourth as Minnesota tied it 35 all on a zippy six-play, 75-yard drive. Komolafe's second touchdown of the game, on a short pass from Stone had put Northwestern ahead two minutes earlier. Northwestern dominated in total yards, 525-323 thanks to a 220-59 advantage in rushing in a game that became a shootout after a choppy penalty-filled first quarter. Darius Taylor rushed for Minnesota's first touchdown and 43 yards. Koi Perich had a 93-yard kickoff return in the second quarter. Tracy, a junior wide receiver, had his first multi-TD game with the Golden Gophers and upped his season total to six. The transfer from Miami (Ohio) became the first Minnesota player with three TD receptions in a game since Rashod Bateman, now with the Baltimore Ravens, did it against Northwestern on Nov. 23, 2019. - Northwestern/AP College Football

  11/15/25 - Carson Beck, rSr/2026, Miami, 6-5, 233 (DS#4 QB) + More +

  Carson Beck passed for 291 yards and three touchdowns, two of them to Malachi Toney, and No. 16 Miami - looking to climb in the College Football Playoff rankings - rolled past N.C. State 41-7 on Saturday. Beck completed his final 13 throws to cap off a 21-for-27 day for the Hurricanes (8-2, 4-2 Atlantic Coast Conference). Miami now has five wins by at least 25 points this season, the most in a single year by the Hurricanes since the 2002 team had six such victories.

Jakobe Thomas picked off two passes in the first quarter, running one of them back for a touchdown for Miami. And Girard Pringle Jr. more than doubled his season rushing total for the Hurricanes; he ran for 116 yards on Saturday, one more than he had in his first four games of the year. Miami took a 41-0 lead before substituting liberally in the fourth quarter on Senior Day, the last regular-season home game for the Hurricanes. Miami outgained N.C. State 581-149. CJ Bailey completed 17 of 30 passes for 120 yards for N.C. State (5-5, 2-4). The Wolfpack - with Miami playing reserves on defense at the time - got on the scoreboard on a rushing touchdown from Bailey with 2:18 left. That extended N.C. State's streak of not getting shut out to 144 games; its last time being blanked was Oct. 4, 2014. Miami was 15th in this week's CFP ranking, the highest of any ACC team. - Miami/AP College Football

  11/08/25 - Carson Beck, rSr/2026, Miami, 6-5, 233 (DS#4 QB) + More +

  Quarterback Carson Beck caught a touchdown pass. Offensive lineman Francis Mauigoa turned a backward pass into a rushing score. And Miami went deep into the depth chart to overcome some injuries. The first step of getting back into the College Football Playoff chase is complete for the Hurricanes. Beck eclipsed the 10,000-yard passing mark for his college career, Miami's defense recorded six sacks and the 18th-ranked Hurricanes used some tricks to roll to a 38-10 win over Syracuse on Saturday. "When Miami's on, Miami really distinguishes itself as one of the better teams," Hurricanes coach Mario Cristobal said. The Hurricanes weren't on through their first four drives. After that, they rolled.

Mauigoa's catch of a backward pass finished off what went into the books as a 3-yard rushing touchdown - "it's a play we've been practicing for two, three years now," Mauigoa said after his first touchdown since he was a little kid playing in American Samoa - while Keionte Scott had an interception return touchdown for the Hurricanes (7-2, 3-2 Atlantic Coast Conference). Keelan Marion had 116 receiving yards and Girard Pringle Jr. had a touchdown run for Miami. The Hurricanes punted on each of their first four drives - then scored on each of their next four possessions, with the exception of a kneel-down to end the first half. Miami had no points on its first 22 plays, 24 points on its next 22. "We had lot of self-inflicted wounds," Syracuse coach Fran Brown said. "I think they're a really good football team." Elijah Washington-Baker had a 17-yard touchdown catch with 21 seconds left and Rickie Collins completed 12 of 25 passes for 85 yards for Syracuse (3-7, 1-6), which gave up six sacks and has dropped six straight. It's the longest losing streak for the Orange since an eight-game slide in 2020. Beck finished 18 of 24 passing for 247 yards and a score. He opened the scoring with a 14-yard touchdown catch on a pass from receiver Malachi Toney with 2:13 left in the first half, and the Hurricanes were very different from there. - Miami/AP College Football

  11/01/25 - Darian Mensah, rJr/2028, Miami, 6-3, 205 (DS#1 QB) + More +

  Duke coach Manny Diaz did not want to chance overtime at Clemson's Death Valley. His team made sure he wouldn't have to. Nate Sheppard had a 3-yard touchdown run with 40 seconds left and Duke followed with a two-point conversion from Darian Mensah to Shamir Hagans to win at Clemson for the first time since 1980 with a 46-45 victory Saturday. "Going extra innings at Death Valley isn't really a good plan," Diaz said. Winning in regulation somewhere you hadn't in 45 years? "This is a major step for our program," Diaz said. The Blue Devils (5-3, 4-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) trailed 45-38 and started the game-winning drive on their 6-yard line. Mensah led an 11-play drive in which he converted two fourth downs to set up Sheppard's TD run.

There was no hesitation from Duke's Diaz who kept the offense on the field and Mensah quicky found Hagans for the decisive points. It was a quirky game of dramatic momentum swings. Duke looked unstoppable in gaining 199 yards in the first quarter to lead 21-7. But Clemson woke up with three straight TDs to lead 28-21. The Tigers looked in control again with six minutes left until Duke's final drive. "We just stayed poised and showed our confidence," Mensah said. It was another low moment in a terrible season for Clemson (3-5, 1-4), the defending ACC champions and a trendy pick to win Dabo Swinney's third national title. The Tigers have lost four home games for the first time since 1998. They're on pace for Swinney's worst season since 2010 when the Tigers were 6-7 and the coach thought his time at the school was done. Instead, he won eight ACC titles and national championships after the 2016 and 2018 seasons. "I feel like I'm in 2010 all over again," Swinney said. After Duke took the final lead, the Tigers tried a desperation, pass the ball to anyone open play as the clock ran out. When Duke finally stopped the play, the sidelines jumped into joyous celebration. After all, it had been more than four decades since the football Blue Devils had left Death Valley with a victory. - Duke/AP College Football

  10/25/25 - Mark Fletcher Jr., Sr/2027, Miami, 6-1, 225 (DS#1 RB) + More +

  The first half was shaky. The second half was all Miami. Mark Fletcher Jr. rushed for 106 yards and a career-high three touchdowns, Miami's defense was airtight for much of the game and the ninth-ranked Hurricanes pulled away for a 42-7 win over Stanford on Saturday night. Carson Beck - coming off the first four-interception game of his career in last week's loss to Louisville - completed 21 of 28 passes for 189 yards and a touchdown to CJ Daniels for Miami (6-1, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), while Jordan Lyle and Girard Pringle Jr. also ran for touchdowns. It was Miami's biggest victory margin in an ACC game since beating Duke 47-10 on Nov. 27, 2021. "Mark Fletcher showed why he's such a great player and why he's so important to this football team." Miami coach Mario Cristobal said. Miami had touchdowns on six of its last seven possessions; the one drive where it didn't score in that span saw the Hurricanes stopped on a fourth-down try at the Stanford 21. "Proud of the way our guys stuck with it," Cristobal said.

Malachi Toney had 138 all-purpose yards, 73 of them coming on a pair of punt returns for the Hurricanes. Miami passed for 205 yards and rushed for 199, outgaining Stanford 404-144. "That right there was the standard for University of Miami football," Toney said. Cole Tabb rushed for 64 yards for Stanford (3-5, 2-3) in the first-ever meeting between the Hurricanes and the Cardinal. Ben Gulbranson threw for Stanford's lone touchdown and completed five of his first six passes for 31 yards; he was 4-for-15 with two interceptions and only 19 yards the rest of the way. Stanford led 7-0 after one quarter and it was 7-7 at the half. The rest was all Miami, in a reversal of the game that Stanford interim coach Frank Reich - then the Maryland quarterback - had against the Hurricanes in 1984, when he rallied his team out of a 31-0 halftime hole and won 42-40. This time, the Hurricanes outscored the Cardinal 35-0 in the final 30 minutes. Stanford racked up 74 yards on its first drive - capped by a TD - then managed only 25 total yards on its next eight possessions combined. "I thought our defense did a pretty good job in the first half...and then they got after us real good in the second half," Reich said. - Miami/AP College Football
