The Miami Hurricanes took care of business at home with a big win over stanford. Memphis rallies in fourth quarter to defeat USF.

Stanford will also be without safety Mitch Leigber for the first half of the matchup, after the senior was flagged for a targeting penalty on FSU quarterback Tommy Castellanos late in the fourth quarter. The hit knocked Castellanos out of the game, and with the Seminoles on a bye this week, the hope is to get him healed up before their next game.

The Hurricanes scored 35 unanswered points in the second half to turn a tied game against Stanford into a rout and improve to 6-1 on the season.

After Miami missed a 44-yard field goal attempt on its opening possession, Stanford drove 69 yards for a touchdown. Cole Tabb, coming off an 118-yard game against Florida State, converted on fourth-and-1 from midfield, and Ben Gulbranson, who started after injuring his knee against the Seminoles, completed a 9-yard touchdown pass to Caden High.

Forget individual needs, Stanford GM Andrew Luck believes in creating team legacies. He gets to do that with supreme power in new role with Cardinal.

The Cardinal has already matched its win total (3) in each of the past four seasons with five regular-season games remaining.

Daniel Palanker, a professor of ophthalmology at Stanford University, first envisioned a way to reverse blindness two decades ago — and this week, he finally shared the successful invention with the world.

Mesidor was not dressed out during warmups ahead of the 7 p.m. game at Hard Rock Stadium and is set to miss his first game of the season. The sixth-year senior was listed as a game-time decision on the final availability report released by the ACC at 5 p.m. Saturday, two hours before kickoff.
