Miami quarterback Cam Ward threw for 304 yards and accounted for four touchdowns (three passing, one rushing) in just under three quarters to lead the No. 12 Hurricanes to a 56-9 home win over Florida A&M on Saturday evening.

The former Incarnate Word and Washington State star arrived in Miami this year with plenty of hype.

He's only played two games, but Ward is a legitimate Heisman Trophy contender who's got the Hurricanes looking like a future College Football Playoff participant.

Ward began his Miami career with 385 yards and three touchdown passes in a 41-17 road victory at in-state rival Florida.
