Ward Earns Spot on Davey O’Brien Award’s Great 8

CORAL GABLES, Fla. — For the fourth this time this year, Miami Hurricanes senior Cam Ward was recognized on the Davey O’Brien Award’s Great 8, the organization announced Monday.

In the Hurricanes’ 52-45 win at Louisville, Ward threw for 319 yards and four touchdowns to lead Miami to its first 7-0 start since 2017.

The 6-foot-2, 223-pound quarterback became the first player with seven consecutive 300-yard passing games in program history.

In the victory, Ward guided the Hurricanes to 538 yards of total offense, with Miami scoring on seven of its first 10 drives.

Miami has now posted 50-plus points in four different games in a single season for the first time ever.

The West Columbia, Texas native was previously named one of the award’s weekly honorees on Sept. 4, Sept. 23 and Oct. 7.
