Former West Boca star Javian Mallory big part of offense in Canes' win

Miami defeated Pittsburgh 52-23 on Saturday at Hard Rock Stadium, with Javian Mallory continuing to be a key contributor to the offense. Despite receiver Malachi Toney taking the spotlight with a career-defining performance, Mallory, a former standout from West Boca Raton High School, proved his value on the ground. Rushing seven times for 47 yards and two touchdowns, Mallory showcased his explosive running ability, including an 11-yard powerful run in which he displayed a Le Veon-Bell-like stutter-step before scoring.

Throughout his freshman season, Mallory has accumulated 444 rushing yards and seven touchdowns, cementing his status as the team's leading rusher. His stellar performances against both FSU and Pitt have further solidified his status as a crucial player for the 7-0 Canes, who will be aiming for even greater success as they pursue a spot in next year's College Football Playoff National Championship game.
