BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — Halfway through his first season at Miami, Cam Ward already has shown a knack for the dramatic.
Ward threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Elijah Arroyo with 26 seconds left and No. 8 Miami roared back from a 25-point deficit in the second half to beat California 39-38 on Saturday night.
A week after rallying the Hurricanes (6-0, 2-0 ACC) from 10 points down in the fourth quarter to beat Virginia Tech, Ward did even more in engineering Miami's biggest comeback since rallying from 28 down to beat Boston College in 1999.
“When 1 has the ball in his hands, the game is never over,” receiver Xavier Restrepo said, referring to Ward's uniform number. “We have extreme confidence in that guy.”
