Miami (Fla.) 55, Cincinnati 34: Duke Johnson ran for 162 yards and a touchdown on a record-setting afternoon as the host Hurricanes rolled.

Johnson, who started the scoring with an 80-yard run less than four minutes in, became Miami's all-time leader in all-purpose yards, surpassing Ottis Anderson and Santana Moss. Brad Kaaya completed 17-of-24 passes for 286 yards and three touchdowns while Phillip Dorsett had 143 receiving yards and two scores for the Hurricanes (4-3), who improved to 4-0 at home.

After being knocked out of a blowout loss to Memphis last Saturday with a rib injury, Gunner Kiel returned to action under center for Cincinnati (2-3), going 31-of-57 for 355 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions, one of which was taken back 46 yards for a score. Max Morrison hauled in six catches for 84 yards and a score for the Bearcats, losers of three straight.

After Johnson worked through the line and darted 80 yards to the end zone, Kiel capped a 13-play drive with an 11-yard strike to Shaq Washington to tie it midway through the first. Kaaya hit Clive Walford for a 14-yard TD less than two minutes later and found Dorsett over the middle from 28 yards out to make it 21-7 midway through the second.

A pass by Kiel on the opening drive of the second half bounced off a receiver's leg and into the hands of Tyriq McCord, who danced down the right sideline to the end zone for a 31-10 advantage. Dorsett's 79-yard TD grab later in the quarter pushed the lead to 41-13 and Kaaya recorded his first career rushing score in the fourth to help offset a 21-point quarter for the Bearcats.
