The Hurricanes leaned on their passing game, and it paid off in a huge way. From the first snap to the finish, the Hurricanes established their passing game through the air.
Even though the team's ground game did what it was suppose to do, the passing game was just unbelievable, and Stanford could not stop it. With multiple dominant wide receivers, the Hurricanes made multiple explosive chunks plays in the 45-6 win over the Stanford Cardinal. Every snap seemed to move the chains, leaving the Cardinal defense questioning what's next to come.
Miami Hurricanes sophomore wide receiver Malachi Toney led the team in receiving, recording a historical 233 receiving yards on 12 receptions and three touchdowns, setting the tone from the opening drive. Duke transfer Cooper Barkate added to the damage with four receptions for 67 yards and one touchdown.
Toney set the pace first drive, delivering two chunks plays, resulting in a quick 7-0 touchdown. The rest from there was history, breaking the single-game receiving record, previously held by Eddie Brown.
By the second half, Toney had recorded over 150+ receiving yards, wearing out the Cardinal defense. The Hurricanes finished with a total of 428 yards through the air on 35 passing attempts. The team also finished with 121 rushing yards on 32 attempts.
Darian Mensah almost had a perfect night, capping off the win by competing 27 of his 30 passing attempts, resulting in a total of 401 yards through the air and five scores.
The Cardinal defense did not have an answer all night against the Canes' explosive passing game. Stanford only got the Hurricanes offense off the field two times during yesterday's contest.
The numbers alone from Malachi Toney told the story about this game. Miami's relentless passing game set the pace against Stanford, and they couldn't do anything about it.
