Miami football wide receiver Malachi Toney added to his Heisman Trophy campaign against Pittsburgh on Saturday.
He was everywhere and hard to cover, finishing with 16 receptions for 194 yards and three touchdowns. Per Chris Hummer of CBS Sports/247Sports, Toney is the first Power Four player to record 15+ catches and at least three touchdown receptions in a game since Jaxon Smith-Njigba did it for Ohio State in the 2022 Rose Bowl.

Miami can’t stop winning
Miami won as the No. 1 team in the country for the first time since 2002. The Hurricanes’ offense put up 52 points in a 52-23 win over the Panthers and showed why they’re a force to be reckoned with.
The Hurricanes are one of four undefeated FBS teams in the country and will try to improve to 8-0 next Saturday against the North Carolina Tar Heels.
