Miami Hurricanes roll past FAMU in home opener

MIAMI GARDENS, Florida  --Did Brad Kaaya light up Florida A&M’s defense, looking like a future Heisman Trophy winner?

No. But he’s fine with that. And so is Hurricanes coach Al Golden, who saw incremental improvement from him and the rest of the Hurricanes in a 41-7 win over in-state foe Florida A&M.

In his second college start, Kaaya, a true freshman who turned 19 last week, earned his first win as UM’s starting quarterback. He was far from perfect, going 12-for-22 for 177 yards against an FCS-level defense, with two touchdowns and two interceptions, but he assessed his performance as “pretty good.”

“There were some plays I wish I could have had back. We had a few miscommunications out there that we should get worked on,” he said. “But hey, I’m not a big stats guy. I’m just a big wins guy.”
