Miami Gardens – The Miami Hurricanes secured a decisive 26-7 victory over the Florida Gators on Saturday, September 20, 2025, at Hard Rock Stadium. This win marks a significant milestone for Miami, improving their season record to 4-0, while the Gators fell to 1-3, representing their first 1-3 start since 1986.
Miami’s defense played a crucial role in the game, suffocating the Gators’ offense and limiting them to a mere 32 yards in the first half. By the end of the game, Florida managed a total of 141 yards of offense, which included only 59 passing yards. Miami’s pressure resulted in Florida quarterback DJ Lagway being sacked four times throughout the match.
The Hurricanes’ offensive efforts were led by quarterback Carson Beck, who completed 17 of 30 passes for 160 yards and one interception. Miami showcased a strong running game, with running back CharMar Brown achieving 80 yards on 18 carries and scoring two rushing touchdowns. Mark Fletcher Jr. also contributed with 116 yards on 24 carries and an additional touchdown.
The scoring began in the first quarter with a 2-yard touchdown run by CharMar Brown, putting Miami ahead 7-0. They extended their lead with a 53-yard field goal, followed by another touchdown that drove the score to 13-0 by halftime. Miami’s effective rushing attack was evident as they scored three rushing touchdowns during the game.
Florida’s lone touchdown came during the third quarter, using an 11-play, 80-yard drive culminated by a 7-yard run from running back Jadan Baugh. However, this was not enough to turn the tide for the Gators. The Gators struggled with offensive consistency and were held 0 for 13 on third-down conversions, resulting in only 7 first downs throughout the game.
As Miami prepares for their upcoming match against Florida State University on October 1, which could potentially be a top-five matchup, the Hurricanes look to maintain their perfect record. On the other hand, the Florida Gators will have a bye week before returning home to face No. 8 Texas, with hopes of turning around their rocky season.
This game not only highlights Miami’s growing prowess this season but also raises concerns for Florida, whose performance indicates a struggle that may have lasting implications as the season progresses. With Miami’s offensive strength and defensive resilience on display, they are positioning themselves as a formidable contender moving forward in the college football landscape.
