In a highly expected in-state rivalry game, the Miami Hurricanes, led by quarterback Cam Ward and head coach Mario Cristobal, crushed the Florida Gators 41-17. While some predicted a Miami victory, few anticipated the dominance on Saturday afternoon. Ward, who tossed for 385 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception, enjoyed his time with Gators fans but swiftly moved his mind to the next task, underlining the necessity of remaining grounded.
Cristobal, who is now in his third season at Miami, acknowledged the enormous effort required when he first came and praised his team’s commitment to succeed. “Nobody really likes talking about the starting point,” Cristobal told The Miami Herald. “I knew when I arrived in Miami, there was a lot
of work to do, and these guys have been through a lot, and they decided it was enough, they’d had enough, and they’d prove it by the way they played the game.”
