Instead of being tied at 45 following Louisville’s fumble return, Miami’s drive continued and two plays later Damien Martinez sealed the victory with a 30-yard touchdown run. The Hurricanes, who entered the week leading all FBS schools in scoring and yards per play, rolled up 541 yards of total offense, including 222 rushing yards.

The Hurricanes withstood several Louisville rallies from double-digit deficits and improved to 7-0, their best start since 2017.
