Overview

• Quarterback Carson Beck went 23 of 28 for 340 yards and three touchdowns, added a rushing score, and threw two interceptions that did not lead to USF points.
• Running back Mark Fletcher Jr. rushed for 120 yards and two touchdowns, with 87 yards after contact according to Pro Football Focus.
• True freshman Joshua Moore delivered a breakout with his first two Hurricanes touchdowns on 8- and 39-yard catches, while fellow freshman Malachi Toney added six receptions for 66 yards.
• Miami’s defense throttled USF with 18 first-half rushing yards, an interception by freshman Bryce Fitzgerald, a Jakobe Thomas forced fumble recovered by Chase Smith, and only 7-of-21 conversions on third and fourth downs.
• A roughly 100-minute second-quarter weather delay did not slow the Hurricanes, who improved to 3-0 and stopped USF’s bid for a third consecutive ranked upset.
