Cam Ward throws for 404 yards and three touchdowns. And the Hurricanes score 50 points for a third consecutive game.

The Hurricanes made key adjustments at halftime and rolled to a dominant win over. QB Cam Ward had another strong game, and UM’s defense kept USF’s run offense in check.

Fueled by three total rushing touchdowns by Damien Martinez, including two in the second half, and another stellar performance from quarterback Cam Ward, No. 8 Miami pulled away from USF and left Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium with a 50-15 road win.

Miami, aided by a pair of big third-down conversions and four USF penalties, marched 75 yards down the field on its opening drive, with running back Damien Martinez capping it with a 2-yard rushing touchdown. Martinez also had a 14-yard catch-and-run on a third down midway through the drive.
