LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Cam Ward's offensive line gave him plenty of time to throw on some big plays. On others, he created the extra time he needed to find his target on his own.

The combination kept No. 6 Miami ahead and eventually created opportunities for teammates to win a shootout to remember.

Ajay Allen followed Ward's fourth touchdown pass with a 2-yard, go-ahead score early in the fourth quarter, Damien Martinez added a 30-yard insurance TD run with 4:05 remaining and the Hurricanes held off Louisville for a wild 52-45 victory on Saturday.

A series recently defined by high scoring added its most exciting chapter thanks to Ward, who completed a bunch of explosive plays on the way to a school-record seventh consecutive 300-yard passing performance. More importantly, the Hurricanes (7-0, 3-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) are off to their best start since beginning 10-0 in 2017.
