12 notable stats from No. 12 Miami Hurricanes’ win over No. 22 Pittsburgh Panthers
The No. 12 Miami Hurricanes concluded their regular season with a 38-7 road win at the No. 22 Pittsburgh Panthers to go 10-2 on the season (6-2 in Atlantic Coast Conference play).
Here are 12 notable stats from the win.
10: The Hurricanes had consecutive 10 win seasons for the first time since doing so four consecutive years from 2000-2003, their final four years in the Big East. Miami’s only other 10-win season while as a member of the ACC was in 2017 when the Hurricanes started 10-0 before dropping their final three games.
30+: The 31-point margin of victory on Saturday was Miami’s fifth win this season by at least 30 points, along with the Hurricanes’ victories over Bethune-Cookman (45-3), USF (49-12), Stanford (42-7) and NC State (41-7). It’s the first time UM has won at least five games by at least 30 points in the same season since 2001 — their most recent national championship season.
110: The Hurricanes closed the regular season on a four-game win streak, outscoring Syracuse, NC State, Virginia Tech and Pittsburgh by a combined 110 points (151-41).
7: Miami’s defense held Pittsburgh to just seven points, marking the first time the Hurricanes have held a ranked opponent to single digits since Nov. 11, 2017, in a 41-8 win over Notre Dame.
It’s the fifth time overall this season Miami held an opponent to seven points or fewer (also Bethune-Cookman, Florida, Stanford and NC State).
79.3%: Carson Beck completed 23 of 29 for 267 yards and three touchdowns with one interception on Saturday. Over Miami’s four-game win streak to end the regular season, Beck was 88 of 111 (79.3% completion rate) for 1,125 yards and 10 touchdowns with one interception over the past four games.
170: Freshman wide receiver Malachi Toney accounted for 170 total yards on Saturday, catching a career-high 13 passes for 126 yards and a touchdown, throwing a 9-yard touchdown pass, rushing for 30 yards and logging a five-yard punt return.
970: Toney now has 970 receiving yards on the season, the most ever by a UM freshman (previously Ahmmon Richards at 934 yards) and the eighth-most ever in a season in UM history. He has the 16th-most receiving yards nationally and 164 more than the next closest freshman (Tennessee’s Braylon Staley, 806)
84: Toney now has 84 catches on the season, one shy of Xavier Restrepo’s school record of 85 in a season. His 84 catches rank sixth nationally and are 20 more than the next closest freshman (Staley, 64).
10: Mark Fletcher Jr.’s 4-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter was his 10th of the season. The 10 rushing touchdowns mark a single-season career high for Fletcher, who had nine as a sophomore and five as a freshman. It’s also the second consecutive season that the Hurricanes have had a player with double-digit rushing touchdowns after Damien Martinez had 10 last season.
4: The Hurricanes defense had four sacks on Saturday, the fourth time the team had at least that many in a game this season. Rueben Bain Jr. and Ahmad Moten Sr. each had one-and-a-half sacks, while freshman Bryce Fitzgerald had one.
4: Fitzgerald recorded his fourth interception on Saturday, tied with Jakobe Thomas for the team lead. Fitzgerald is one of four freshmen with four interceptions this season, along with Notre Dame’s Tae Johnson, FIU’s Jessiah McGrew and Georgia’s Ellis Robinson IV.
30: UM’s defense held Pittsburgh to a season-low 30 rushing yards, the Panthers’ lowest total in a game since Nov. 18, 2020, when they had just 16 rushing yards in a loss to Clemson.
