But down a level, another […]
Miami's football team kicks off its 2026 season with a home opener against FCS opponent Florida A&M. The game is being held at the team's home field. Two players in particular are expected to play key roles in this match. Fresh off a 45-6 victory over Stanford, junior wide receiver Malachi Toney and transfer quarterback Darian Mensah are leading the charge.
Toney's performance in the Stanford game set a new school record with 234 receiving yards and three touchdowns. Similarly, Mensah had record-breaking performances, including the most passing yards and touchdowns in a Miami debut. Their chemistry appears to have been established quickly, as their first touchdown last week came via a clever design, with Toney running a fade route and Mensah connecting with a deep pass.
Mensah also scored his third touchdown of the game on a precise back-shoulder throw to Daylyn Upshaw. This tight connection between Toney and Mensah has been a defining aspect of Miami's offensive success this season.
