#8 Miami takes on a scrappy unranked USF Bulls at Raymond James Stadium on 21 Sep 24. QB Cam Ward tells the defense RB Damian Martinez is coming through the "A Gap" (because anywhere else is for pussies!) and scores.
On 23 Nov 24, Miami QB Cam Ward (and eventual #1 draft pick) breaks Hurricane legend QB Bernie Kosar's passing yards in a season record that had stood for 40 years.
Ward's 13-yard completion to RB Damien Martinez with 1:27 left in the second quarter gave him 3,643 yards for the season. Kosar's mark of 3,642 yards was set in 1984.
"...it had to mean more to you than it did to the other side..."
