The No. 10 Miami Hurricanes will try to keep rolling against the Ball State Cardinals at Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The 'Canes already have a pair of blowout wins under their belt, and they're looking for a third this weekend.
After smashing Florida in Week 1, Miami did the same thing to Florida A&M last weekend en route to a 56-9 win. Quarterback Cam Ward kept building his Heisman Trophy campaign, throwing for 304 yards and three touchdowns while completing 76.9% of his passes. He also punched in a score on the ground.
Through the first two weeks of the season, the Hurricanes are averaging 48.5 points and 539 yards per game. Needless to say, the Ball State defense is about to have its hands full with one of the most explosive offenses in the country on the other side.
Ball State kicked off its season with a 42-34 win over Missouri State last weekend, and quarterback Kadin Semonza had a productive day. He connected on 28 of his 38 passing attempts while throwing for 262 yards, four touchdowns and an interception. Running back Braedon Sloan also piled up 149 total yards and a pair of touchdowns.
Defensively, the Cardinals did struggle against the Bears, allowing 258 yards passing. That will be a problem if they can't get that area of their game cleaned up before visiting the 'Canes.
