Cam Ward has just snagged the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Player of the Week Honorable Mention, adding to his accolades as the Atlantic Coast Conference’s Quarterback of the Week and the Davey O’Brien Foundation’s standout QB.
In a thrilling showdown against Louisville, Ward threw for a staggering 319 yards and four touchdowns, propelling the Hurricanes to a nail-biting 52-45 victory. This impressive performance marks Ward’s seventh consecutive game with over 300 passing yards, a first in Miami history.
Leading the nation with 2,538 passing yards and 24 touchdowns, Ward boasts a remarkable QBR of 92.3. His efforts contributed to Miami’s explosive offense, totaling 538 yards and scoring on seven of their first ten drives. This season, the Hurricanes have scored 50 or more points four times—an unprecedented feat for the program.
With this being his second Maxwell Player of the Week honor this season, all eyes are on Ward as he gears up to face the Florida State Seminoles this Saturday at Hard Rock Stadium. The excitement continues to build around this Heisman hopeful!
