Miami quarterback Cam Ward continued his pursuit of the Heisman Trophy by throwing for three touchdowns and more than 400 yards in Saturday night's win over South Florida.

After one of his passes bounced off his receiver and was intercepted during the Hurricanes' second drive of the game, Ward bounced back to finish the night with 404 yards on 24-of-34 passing.

Ward and the Hurricanes won 50-15 to open the 2024 season with four straight wins.

Ward followed up his early pick with a six-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Horton on Miami's following possession late in the first quarter.
