This time Miami didn’t need eight laterals at the last second to defeat Duke at Wallace Wade Stadium. All the Hurricanes needed was their stout defense and a solid performance from junior quarterback Malik Rosier in a 31-6 win over the Blue Devils.
Miami (3-0, 1-0) jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, thanks to two scores by Rosier. Rosier was responsible for three touchdowns on the night, two through the air. Duke, who came into the game looking to go 5-0 for the first time since 1994, struggled on offense. The Blue Devils came into the night averaging 470.
