MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Duke Johnson carried the ball 25 times for 155 yards and one score as Miami beat Duke 22-10 in front of 44,539 fans at Sun Life Stadium.
The Hurricanes (3-2, 1-1 ACC) took the opening possession of the contest and drove 63 yards on nine snaps for a 29-yard field goal by Michael Badgley. On its second drive, Miami went 76 yards on eight plays for a seven-yard scoring run by Johnson, but Badgley's point after touchdown kick was wide and the Hurricanes led, 9-0, with 6:57 left in the opening period.
Duke (4-1, 0-1 ACC) got on the scoreboard early in the second quarter with a six-snap, 73-yard march that ended with a seven-yard touchdown jaunt by Shaquille Powell. The march featured a heavy dose of Powell, who rushed for 44 yards, while Anthony Boone hooked up with Johnell Barnes on a 29-yard strike to put the Blue Devils inside the red zone.
The first half featured 12 combined punts as each squad went 1-for-8 on third down.
In the third quarter, Miami took advantage of a Blue Devil turnover to push the lead to 16-7 when Brad Kaaya tossed a 28-yard scoring pass to Herb Waters. Later in the quarter, Duke responded with a 33-yard field goal by Ross Martin to make the score 16-10 at the end of three period. Martin's boot was set up by a fumble recovery for Breon Borders after Jeremy Cash stripped the pigskin from a Miami ball carrier.
Boone completed 22-of-51 passes for 179 yards. Powell led the rushing attack, finishing with 58 yards on eight carries with one score. Shaun Wilson had 31 rushing yards on eight attempts while catching six passes for 74 yards. Jamison Crowder hauled in seven passes for 47 yards.
Cash led the defensive effort, totaling 10 tackles, two forced fumbles and one pass break up. David Helton had nine stops, Deondre Singleton had eight tackles and a fumble recovery and DeVon Edwards added eight tackles.
Following an open date next weekend, Duke continues ACC play on the road by traveling to Georgia Tech on Saturday, October 11.
