Cam Ward Makes Miami Hurricanes History | Responding To Sloppy Start In 56-9 Win Over FAMU Rattlers

Locked On Canes - Daily Podcast On Miami Hurricanes Football & Basketball

Miami quarterback Cam Ward just became the first Hurricane to throw for at least 300 yards and three touchdowns in his first two games in orange and green since at least 1979. In Miami’s 56-9 victory over Florida A&M, Ward completed 77 percent of his passes for 304 yards, 3 touchdowns, and zero interceptions. He also scored a highlight reel rushing touchdown. Ward is currently second in the Heisman Trophy odds behind Quinn Ewers at Texas. Ward’s top weapon, senior receiver Xavier Restrepo, had another 100 yard game with 104 receiving yards and a touchdown. Miami, currently ranked 12th in the country, improved to 2-0 on the year.

It wasn’t all smooth sailing against the Rattlers. Host Alex Donno breaks down how Miami was able to respond from a sloppy second quarter with a dominant second half. Miami committed 6 penalties in the first half and only averaged 3.8 yards per carry at the intermission. While Miami kept the Rattlers out of the end zone, the defense did give up a couple of long scoring drives. Miami responded in the second half, outscoring FAMU 31-3. Donno explains how Miami bounced back with cleaner execution and chunk plays. Miami also got several young players into the game. The Hurricanes had an important recruiting section. Five star defensive back DJ Pickett, an LSU commit, attended the game. So did four star Ohio State committed linebacker Tarvos Alford. Can Miami turn these visits into flips?
