Canes Open 2026 With Record-Setting 77-7 Rout of FAMU

Miami opened the 2026 season with a 77-7 home victory over Florida A&M, piling up a program-record 856 total yards (426 passing, 430 rushing) and six passing TDs to five rushing TDs. QB Darian Mensah went 14-of-15 for 252 yards and 3 TDs, Javian Mallory (10 carries for 142 yards, 2 TDs) and Malachi Toney (4 receptions, 96 yards, TD) highlighted a deep, productive offense. The defense was stingy, forcing 13 FAMU punts, but a late 72-yard fumble-return TD by FAMU and a miscued punt-block prevented a perfect game. Miami heads to Wake Forest next.

Brewers erupt for 22-0 win over Mariners as Rodríguez miscue caps historic rout

Milwaukee cruised past Seattle 22-0 to tie the modern-era record for the largest shutout margin; after a 1-0 game through five, the Brewers exploded with 5 runs in the fifth, 5 in the sixth, 2 in the seventh and 9 in the eighth. The highlight (or lowlight) was Mariners center fielder Julio Rodríguez losing track of outs with the bases loaded, recording a live ball that yielded a sacrifice fly and a two-base error. Milwaukee improved to 78-48, Seattle fell to 59-67 (eight losses in 11), and this marked the third 22-0 game in the modern era.
