The Miami Hurricanes offense was inefficient all game as both Rosier and Perry continued to struggle with accuracy issues. The Hurricanes passing game completed 15-29 passes for 190 yards but with three interceptions.
The Miami Hurricanes ground game was not much better. Outside of a Travis Homer 70-yard run that the Canes could only convert into a field goal UM finished with only 79 more rushing yards on the night. Poor execution on offense, the lack of a ground game and the two late penalties crushed the Hurricanes.
Miami closed to within 16-13 on 11-yard Malik Rosier rushing touchdown with 3:04 to play.
