The Miami Hurricanes finished the season with their fourth straight victory. Not a bad finish for the Hurricanes after losing four in a row. They finish up 5-3 in ACC play after their 40-21 victory over Duke.

Quarterback Brad Kaaya finished the game with a season-high 396 passing yards and four passing touchdowns. Tight end David Njoku had a stellar day to showcase what he can do for Miami going forward. Kaaya connected with Njoku on touchdown passes of 76 yards and 58 yards on his only catches of the game. Receiver Stacy Coley also had nine catches for 118 receiving yards and a touchdown as well.

The Hurricanes didn’t force any turnovers in the game, but they did have three sacks in the game. They held the Blue Devils to just 79 rushing yards as a team as well.

Whats Next?

Miami awaits their bowl bid in Mark Richt’s first season as head coach. Not bad for them going 8-4, but they started the season 4-0 before dropping four straight games. Current projections have the Hurricanes playing West Virginia in the Russell Athletic Bowl.
