It was a career-high for passing yards and the eighth time in 16 career starts he has thrown for at least three scores. Dorsey registered all three of his TDs in the first half, completing 12-of-18 passes for 205 yards. He has 38 career touchdowns, two behind Bernie Kosar for sixth on the Miami all-time list.

The senior defensive end posted 10 tackles (five solo), including four tackles for loss and two quarterback sacks. He also recorded seven pass break-ups and two quarterback pressures. It was his first career multiple sack game as the TU defense held the Midshipmen to 1.6 rushing yards per carry and a total of 48 yards on the ground.
Sievers (Ankeny, Iowa) kicked a single-game career-best four field goals in the Hurricanes’ win at Penn State. The junior placekicker converted on attempts of 35, 42, 37 and 23 yards.
