Malachi Toney was the star of the show in my book. Anytime Miami needed a play, it felt like there was always one guy stepping up — and that guy was Malachi Toney.

The freshman wide receiver led the Hurricanes with six catches for 82 yards and a touchdown. But it wasn’t just the numbers — it was when he made those plays.

The freshman wide receiver led the Hurricanes with six catches for 82 yards and a touchdown. But it wasn’t just the numbers — it was when he made those plays. On third downs, when Miami needed to keep a drive alive, Toney was the one who came through. He made tough grabs, got open when it mattered, and gave quarterback Carson Beck a go-to option against one of the best defenses in the country.

For a first college game, that’s huge. Miami needed someone to step up, and Toney delivered. His impact wasn’t just good for a freshman; it was flat-out necessary in a game this close. He showed he can already be a big part of this offense moving forward.

His touchdown early to give Miami a 7-0 lead gave Miami momentum, and his energy kept the crowd fired up at Hard Rock Stadium. Freshmen aren’t supposed to look this confident against one of the nation’s top defenses, but Toney didn’t play scared.

If this is just the beginning, Miami fans should be really excited. Toney proved he’s more than just a young guy filling a spot; he’s already becoming a go-to weapon in this offense. For the Hurricanes to beat teams like Notre Dame, they need players who can deliver in big moments. On Saturday night, that player was Malachi Toney.

Check out some of his highlights from yesterday's win over Notre Dame:

He looks like the fastest player on the team . We need more kids who can take the top off the defense . Meaning he gets the ball he looks full speed his first 5 yards . Explosive , the kick off returner is the best one we have had in awhile . He was close to breaking it
 
Can’t explain why given the sample size, but I just feel confident with him on punt return. Wet ball, first game, bright lights, and he looked pretty natural back there.

Yep! He’s our best playmaker at WR since AR, and he’s what we wanted out of Jeff Thomas and Mark Pope.

Kid is really on pace to be something special.

If he were 6’2” 215, he would have been a 5-star recruit.
 
You picked the Satanists. Cane colored glasses in the mail. Mark sure you take a pic with them on. Joking of course, appreciate you and everyone else's reporting
