Miami overwhelmed South Florida 49-12 on Saturday, with quarterback Carson Beck leading the Hurricanes to a decisive victory. Beck completed 340 passing yards and found Joshua Moore for a touchdown pass early in the first quarter. The Miami offense continued its strong performance in the second quarter before Beck was intercepted by Jarvis Lee, who returned the pick 27 yards.

South Florida managed limited offensive success, with a notable 43-yard completion from Byrum Brown to Chas Nimrod in the first quarter, but couldn't sustain drives throughout the game. The Bulls' third-quarter performance stalled when Brown rushed for just 1 yard to the Miami 8-yard line.

Miami scored in every quarter, posting 14 points in both the first and second quarters, 7 in the third, and 14 in the fourth. Beck added 28 rushing yards while Keelan Marion led receivers with 81 yards. The Hurricanes' dominant performance covered the 18-point spread and pushed the game over the 56.5-point total.
