Locked On Canes POSTCAST: Cam Ward Dominates, 'Canes Blow Out FAMU at The Rock in Home Opener

Locked On Canes - Daily Podcast On Miami Hurricanes Football & Basketball

The Cam Ward show continues in Miami. Ward (20-25, 304 yards) threw three TD passes to three different receivers- Xavier Restrepo, Elijah Arroyo, and Chris Johnson, Jr.- and ran one in himself, leading #12 Miami to an easy 56-9 win over Florida A&M University.

The ACC Preseason Player of the Year, Ward's completions went to eight different receivers, with Restrepo catching four balls for 104 yards and the score. No other Miami player had more than three receptions.

Wesley Bissainthe's interception on the first drive of the game set up Miami's first score, a 17-yard pass from Ward to Arroyo.

Ward then hit Restrepo for a 50-yard TD after Miami's defense held FAMU to a field goal after a long drive. Restrepo has been Ward's #1 target so far this season.

Ward's third TD went for nine yards to Johnson, Jr.

The Hurricanes scored on every drive except their final drive of the half, when they came up short on 4th and 4 from the FAMU 14-yard line.

The Miami running game got going in the second half, with Damien Martinez- the highly-touted Oregon St transfer- scoring from 33 yards out. Martinez finished with 90 yards on ten carries.

Backup Mark Fletcher, Jr added added 42 yards on five carries, including a 4-yard touchdown. Both backs are over six feet and 225 pounds.

Tyler Baron had three of Miami's five sacks and five tackles- 3 1/2 of them coming for a loss. Miami had double-digit tackles for a loss, but no forced fumbles and only one forced turnover.

FAMU QB Daniel Richardson is 13-17 for 135 yards but no scores. Jamari Gasset has five of those catches for 61 yards.

Rueben Bain + Damari Brown injured and OUT for Miami.
