MIAMI (AP) — Graig Cooper had a career-high 23 rushes for 90 yards, including the clinching touchdown after a muffed punt return late in the fourth quarter and Miami pulled out a sloppy 20-14 victory over Central Florida on Saturday to snap a two-game losing streak.
Robert Marve found Travis Benjamin with a 25-yard touchdown pass in the opening quarter for Miami (3-3), offsetting part of a three-interception day for the Hurricanes' starting quarterback.
Miami's defense simply overwhelmed the Knights, forcing Central Florida (2-4) into a school-record 12 punts and only allowing 78 yards.
Joe Burnett had a 91-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, Shar'eff Rashad had two interceptions and Johnell Neal returned one of Marve's turnovers for a Central Florida TD.
