Miami’s Undefeated Season Continues While Cam Ward Rises Up Heisman Boards: Extra Point
Cam Ward and the No. 10 Miami Hurricanes improved to 3-0 on the season with a win over Ball State on Saturday. The senior sensation threw for an incredible 346 yards and 5 TDs as the Hurricanes set a school record for offensive yards in a single game with 750.
Head coach Mario cristobal spoke on his offense’s explosive performance following the game,” Well, I think now that it’s year two of Coach Dawson’s system, I think everyone is really starting to feel comfortable, excel at it, understand timing and spacing because, in the passing game, that is the most critical thing along with protection.”
Cristobal continued, “We’ve got a good offensive line. Cam [Ward] sometimes checks us and puts us in great protection and when he knows he’s not protected, he knows where to go with the ball. He gets to that person quickly. Again, we’re hitting on all cylinders in the passing game but, you know, you’ll ask Cam and he’ll tell you that he felt like he left some things out there that could have made it a better day and that’s the way we want to stay. We’ve got a lot of work to do and we’re looking forward to getting back to work tomorrow.”
Miami moves on this week to what is likely it’s toughest test of the season thus far as it takes on a feisty South Florida team that gave fourth ranked Alabama trouble in Week 2.
Led by second year head coach Alex Golesh, the South Florida Bulls are a program on the rise in the American Athletic Conference. After winning just a single game in 2022, Golesh took over and immediately guided the Bulls to a 7-6 record in his first year.
This season South Florida is led by junior quarterback Byrum Brown who has over 400 combined passing and rushing yards through 3 games and senior linebacker Mac Harris who has 3.5 tackles for loss.
The Hurricanes have put up dominant performances through the first three weeks, but doing so against a team like USF may come with some challenges.
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A 12-year-old girl was shot in the arm after gunfire erupted in a northwest Miami-Dade neighborhood early Tuesday morning, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said they responded just before 1 a.m. to the area of Northwest 64th Street and Northwest 21st Avenue in the county’s Gladeview area, where they found three vehicles struck by gunfire, including a silver Hyundai.
“The car was parked outside of the residence. It was occupied by three juveniles, so it was the girl and her two siblings that were in the vehicle. The mom was outside of the vehicle at the time, so this could have been a very different outcome,” MDSO Detective Samantha Choon said.
Authorities said Miami-Dade Fire Rescue medics transported the girl to a nearby hospital in stable condition.
A family member of the victim told Local 10’s Jackie Pascale that the girl is now home and doing OK.
They said neither her siblings nor their mother was injured in the shooting.
According to investigators, no arrests have been made, and detectives have not released any suspect information at this time.
Neighbor Marie Grimes said she was shaken after hearing multiple gunshots.
“I heard the booms — boom, boom, boom, boom — and I said, ‘Oh my God, what’s happening?’” she said. “Maybe five or six, ’cause look at that right there. I’m just glad the little girl is OK.”
Investigators asked neighbors to check their surveillance or Ring camera footage from around 1 a.m. and contact authorities with any information.
Anyone with information on the shooting is urged to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477. Anonymous tips are accepted.

Three people were hurt after a building caught fire on Lincoln Road on Sunday, according to authorities.

Three people were taken to Mount Sinai Medical Center with minor injuries.
The building was evacuated, and FPL has shut off power to the surrounding area, the fire department said.
