Miami Hurricanes Greatest Wins vs 2017 Opponents

Bethune-Cookman September 2

Miami 45 Bethune-Cookman 0, 2015

Miami leads all time Series 3-0

Miami and B-C squared off in the 2015 season opener. The Hurricanes defense had one of their most dominant performances in school history. Miami held Bethune-Cookman to just 79 yards in total offense. It was only the fourth time since 1966 the Hurricanes held a team to that low of an amount offensively.

Miami held the Wildcats to 26 yards passing and 53 rushing. Bethune also committed eight penalties for 60 yards. B-C’s passing game was more inept than the 26 yards indicate. They completed just four of 11 passes with two interceptions.

Jaime Wilson’s two receptions for 18 yards were the most yards than any Bethune-Cookman player had from scrimmage.

The game was also significant as it marked the collegiate debut of offensive lineman Hunter Knighton. Knighton was in a coma for 12 days 18 months earlier after suffering from severe heat stroke. It was a near miracle he survived.

Mark Walton also made his collegiate debut that day and rushed for 85 yards and a touchdown on ten carries.

Corn Elder returned a punt 72 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter. He had another return called back earlier in the game.

Honorable mention was Duke Johnson’s performance against Bethune three years earlier. He finished with 246 all-purpose yards and four touchdowns. Two of his touchdowns were on the ground, one came via kick return and the other was receiving.
