Miami beat Central Michigan 52-3, and Darian Mensah, Malachi Toney and the defense were named the game’s three stars. Mensah threw for 338 yards and three touchdowns; Toney had 120 receiving yards and a score, as Miami held CMU to 158 yards and forced three turnovers.
Mensah completed 23 of 27 passes, had no turnovers and added a 21-yard rushing touchdown. Toney caught six passes; the article reports that a one-handed touchdown catch by the receiver was overturned for offensive pass interference.
Central Michigan’s only points came on its opening-drive field goal. Miami edge rusher Marquise Lightfoot recorded two sacks and 2.5 tackles for loss, though a penalty called on him negated a defensive touchdown.
