Cam Ward Shines as CFB Fans Hype QB’s Heisman Campaign After No. 5 Miami Beats Duke | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

Miami quarterback Cam Ward has put his Heisman campaign back on track.

The 22-year-old helped steer the Hurricanes to a 53-31 victory over Duke to improve to 9-0 on the season.

The Hurricanes produced 527 total yards and possessed the ball for over 30 minutes. The defense forced four Duke turnovers and limited the rushing attack to just 77 yards.

Hurricanes wide receiver Xavier Restrepo had a historic day after making eight catches for 146 yards and three touchdowns. He became the program’s all-time leader in receiving yards, passing Santana Moss.

Ward had a pedestrian performance the week before against Florida State but his push for the Heisman was back on against the Blue Devils. He went 25-of-41 for 400 yards with five touchdowns and one interception.

Fans took to social media to hype his Heisman candidacy.

Heisman coming for Miami….Cam Ward is outrageous good….Good Lord. Every week is putting defenses in the torture chamber

Crocodile Jac Lee @CountryDumb662

Cam Ward has a lot of Jayden Daniels in him. That’s both good & bad 😂. Jayden use to make 1 bonehead play then go Super Saiyan God the rest of the game.

Zachary Coleman @Zachary56262002

Cam Ward might just have taken over the Heisman race with this game vs Duke. While Duke has looked pathetic on defense the statline is the only thing people are gonna remember

Brian @bryan_k215

Cam Ward is inevitable

Collin Taylor @ShotgunFantasy

Cam Ward for Heisman! #GoCanes

CBEEEEEZZZYYY @ceddyb_

Ladies and gentleman your heisman trophy winner.. CAM WARD

Ward is now up to 3,141 passing yards with 29 touchdowns and just six interceptions on the season and is the centerpiece of the Hurricanes undefeated team. That gives him quite the case for the Heisman, although others like Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty and Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter have excellent resumes of their own.

A non-quarterback hasn’t won the award since 2020, and Ward’s place as the star quarterback for a team with national title hopes should only help his case to keep the Heisman with the quarterbacks.

He will have his next chance to show his ability next week when Miami heads to Georgia Tech.
