Miami Football Rallies to Beat Cal 39-38

In a stunning display of resilience, No. 8 Miami football rallied from a 25-point deficit to defeat California 39-38, marking their second consecutive comeback victory. Quarterback Cam Ward played a crucial role, completing 35 of 53 passes for 437 yards, two touchdowns, and adding a rushing touchdown, including the game-winning pass to Elijah Arroyo with just 26 seconds left. Despite a rough start, including a pick-six that raised concerns about his Heisman hopes, Ward's performance solidified his status as a key player for Miami. Head coach Mario Cristobal expressed unwavering faith in Ward, while Cal's coach Justin Wilcox emphasized the importance of accountability following the loss. The win improved Miami's record to 6-0, but also raised questions about their consistency moving forward. This game coincided with Cal hosting ESPN's 'College GameDay,' adding to the disappointment for the home crowd.
