Eye on the U: Miami Hurricanes open with Stanford rout. FAMU is next
PUBLISHED Sep 10, 2026, 7:28 AM ET
The seventh-ranked Miami Hurricanes opened their twenty-twenty-six college football season with a dominant forty-five to six victory against the Stanford Cardinal on the road. Quarterback Darian Mensah completed twenty-seven of thirty passes for four hundred one yards and five touchdowns during his stellar debut. Wide receiver Malachi Toney recorded twelve catches for a program-record two-three-four yards and three touchdowns, surpassing a mark previously set in nineteen eighty-four. The Hurricanes now return to Hard Rock Stadium to host the Florida A&M Rattlers for their upcoming home opener. Meanwhile, the team faces an early roster challenge with starting cornerback OJ Frederique Junior sidelined due to a shoulder injury sustained during the opening contest.
