If you didn't know, it's more than just CJ Daniels and Malachi Toney for the Hurricanes' receiving core. Freshman Josh Moore has two touchdowns already in the first quarter, and he is not going to be stopped any time soon. Beck is dealing, and so is the young Miami receiver core.

Q1: 7:29 - The Hurricanes allowed a first down, but their game plan has been great so far, containing Brown and the rushing attack. The secondary is starting to get attacked, but some great defense from OJ Frederique Jr. gets the Canes off the field on third down. They force a punt.

Q1: 9:34 - Carson Beck is having a field day with this South Florida defense. The run defense looks strong for the Canes, but Beck just looks on another level. He is locked in and looks to be in prime shape.
