The NCAAF is slowly approaching the decisive stages of the tournament, and the teams that are serious contenders are becoming clearer. The Miami Hurricanes extended their undefeated record to 7-0 with their victory over Louisville. The impressive performance of QB Cam Ward solidifies his status as a serious Heisman Trophy candidate.
Coach Mario Cristobal’s team traveled to Louisville for a tough matchup against the Cardinals. However, things become much easier when the most important position on the team is well represented, as Ward has shown for his teammates.
In a game that ended 52-45 in favor of the Hurricanes, the QB posted very promising statistics: four touchdowns, completing 21 of 32 passes for 319 yards. Not bad for a player regarded as one of the best this season.
Cam Ward is on the list of candidates for this season’s Heisman Trophy, alongside others like Travis Hunter from the Colorado Buffaloes and Ashton Jeanty from Boise State. However, performances like today’s give the QB a strong chance of securing the recognition.
