Miami Hurricanes wide receiver Malachi Toney set a school record with 233 receiving yards and three touchdowns in a 45-6 victory over Stanford, launching an early Heisman Trophy campaign. New quarterback Darian Mensah threw five touchdown passes in his debut, including a 48-yard score on his first snap.

Coach Mario Cristobal praised Toney’s versatility and work ethic, noting he is the first Miami player to potentially win the Heisman since Gino Torretta in 1992.
