D’Eriq King showed up at Miami to help return the Hurricanes to their winning ways and Thursday night he proved he is capable of exactly that.
The redshirt senior quarterback led his team to a 31-14 victory over the University of Alabama at Birmingham Thursday night in front of a crowd of 8,153 fans at Hard Rock Stadium.
King accounted for 141 passing yards and 83 rushing yards, with one passing touchdown and one rushing touchdown. In doing so, he kept his FBS record streak of 16 consecutive games with both a passing and rushing touchdown.
“D’Eriq, with his running ability on some of those scrambles, there’s always the threat of an explosive play,” Miami head coach Manny Diaz said after the game.
