14 Hurricanes, driven by a strong, tone-setting first half from UM Quarterback Malik Rosier, needed no late heroics Friday night for a 31-6 victory over the previously undefeated Blue Devils.
UM’s defense preserved the 17-6 halftime lead with a dominant second-half performance, and the Hurricanes (3-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) earned their first Coastal Division win in their ACC season opener.
Midway through the final quarter, Richards, who overcame a severe hamstring pull sustained in fall camp, had three catches for 106 yards and a 49-yard touchdown that iced the game with 11:02 left.
