The Hurricanes emerged victorious in a thrilling blowout. Quarterback Darian Mensah showcased an impressive performance, completing 23 of 27 passes for 338 yards and three touchdowns, while recording zero interceptions. He holds the distinction of being the first FBS passer in the last 30 years to have more touchdown passes than incompletions through his first four games. Wide receiver Malachi Toney contributed significantly with six catches for 120 yards and a touchdown. True freshman Ben Congdon took on the role of Left Guard, making his debut in the first drive, leading to Miami's first touchdown of the game.
