Miami’s 77-7 rout revives debate on FCS buy games and schedule strength

No. 7 Miami crushed Florida A&M 77-7, racking up 856 total yards, tying a school record for points and setting a school mark with 42 first downs after shortening the fourth quarter. The blowout underscores the contentious practice of paying FCS opponents: it boosts revenue for the visitors but can dilute schedule strength and threaten playoff prospects; Miami coach Cristobal says the games help develop the roster, while critics argue teams should face stronger nonconference foes.

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.
