No. 7 Miami gains school-record 856 yards, rolls past Florida A&M 77-7
The game was so one-sided that the teams agreed to shave five minutes off the fourth quarter, setting the clock for 10 minutes instead of the standard 15.
Miami Hurricanes set a school record with 856 yards and a 77-7 victory over lower-division Florida A&M on Thursday night. Quarterbacks Darian Mensah and Luke Nickel each threw three touchdown passes, breaking the 750-yard mark set against Ball State in 2024. Miami's offense scored 77 points, a team record, and finished with 42 first downs in the game.
The teams agreed to shave five minutes off the fourth quarter, with the clock running for 10 minutes. By then, Miami had already scored 77 points, ending the game with a lopsided 77-7 score. Miami's record-setting offensive performance was led by Mensah and Nickel, who became the first power-conference teammates to have three touchdown passes in the same game since 2016.
Florida A&M managed just 107 yards, averaging 2.3 yards per snap, as they finished the season at 1-2. The Hurricanes, who had won 20 consecutive home openers, will next face Wake Forest on September 18.
