Miami starts slow but stops Southern Miss (and Frank Gore Jr.) to set up Texas A&M showdown

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — It wasn’t a blowout like Miami fans were probably expecting, but the No. 15 Hurricanes still delivered a win Saturday afternoon at Hard Rock Stadium.

Despite an off day for reigning ACC Rookie of the Year quarterback Tyler Van Dyke, particularly in the first half, the Canes defeated Southern Miss, 30-7, in front of an announced paid crowd of 46,421.

Van Dyke completed 21 of 30 passes for 263 yards and a touchdown, with an interception. At halftime, Van Dyke had completed 12 of 19 for 141 yards and no touchdowns, with the pick — and had been sacked three times.
