N’Kosi Perry makes grand entrance by leading Miami Hurricanes to 31-17 victory over FIU

The N’Kosi Perry era is here.

Whether it’s here to stay is yet to be seen.

The fans got what they wanted Saturday at Hard Rock Stadium: a dominating 31-17 University of Miami victory against FIU — and redshirt freshman quarterback Perry, who came in for the third series and staked a serious claim for the quarterback job with a dazzling performance.

Perry completed 17 of 25 passes for 224 yards and three touchdowns for the No. 21 Hurricanes (3-1), with a late third-quarter interception. He added nine rushes for 32 yards, and was sacked once.
