Miami quarterback Cam Ward spent some time in offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson's office earlier this week, going over the Hurricanes' passing game and how things have worked through three games. They talked about plenty.

No. 8 Miami has dealt with some injuries in on the offensive line to start the season. fifth-year senior Jalen Rivers has been out the past two games with a lower-body injury and junior Anez Cooper missed most of the last game after his ankle was rolled on in the victory against Ball State.

Cam Ward’s competitive nature doesn’t stop when he’s on the sideline. His resolve to make the Miami Hurricanes the best team they can be is paramount even when he’s not on the field.

After an impressive start to the season, Miami football's Cam Ward speaks on what he wants to improve on heading into Week 3.

Cam Ward passed for 304 yards and three touchdowns in his first home start for Miami, then he capped his day with a rushing score and the 12th-ranked Hurricanes beat Florida A&M 56-9 on Saturday night.

Ward is the third Hurricanes QB in the last 25 years with at least 600 yards passing in the season’s first two games.
