There hasn’t been a more valuable player in the entire country, the senior quarterback leading the Hurricanes to their second 4-0 start since 2018.
The offseason has become a dangerous hype machine that relies too heavily on numbers. That doesn’t take into account chemistry, fit and continuity. We get crazy about transfers and automatically believe however they have performed at a former school will translate immediately.But in the case of Miami and quarterback Cam Ward, the opposite has been true. In a soft conference that has seen preseason contenders like Clemson, Florida State and N.C. State struggle, Miami has been dominant.
In a 50-15 rout of South Florida on Saturday, Ward became the 13th college football player to throw for 15,000 yards in a career. Coaches and teammates have raved about his maturity, calling him an “alpha leader.” He’s raised the bar for the Hurricanes. After a dominant Week 1 rout of in-state rival Florida, he pointed to ways Miami could get better. He has deferred credit to the team’s linemen that have controlled the line of scrimmage.
It took Greg Schiano six years in his first go-around at Rutgers for that breakout 11-win season in which the Scarlet Knight rose to the seventh-ranked team in the country at one point. It may be happening faster in his second time in Piscataway, N.J., a victory that was one-sided for most of the afternoon.
