Cam Ward led a mesmerizing comeback that concluded with a 92-yard drive over 1:16. Ward hit Elijah Arroyo with a five-yard pass with 26 seconds remaining. The PAT was good and the Hurricanes had a stunning 39-38 victory.
Ward threw for 437 yards and two touchdowns as Miami overcame a 35-10 deficit.
