Cam Ward now has the most passing yards in a season of any Miami quarterback, passing Bernie Kosar who set the record in 1984 and has stood for 40 years until now.
Ward’s 13-yard completion to Damien Martinez with 1:27 left in the second quarter gave him 3,643 yards for the season. The team settled for a field goal on the drive against Wake Forest and headed into halftime with a 20-14 lead.

The pass to Martinez that broke the yardage record was Ward’s 254th completion this season, putting him eight away from Kosar’s single-season Miami record of 262, also done in 1984.
Ward is also on pace to break even more records set by other quarterback from previous years.
Ward is completing 67% of his passes this season, and if he finishes with this mark, the Heisman candidate would break the Miami single-season mark of 65.8% set last year by Tyler Van Dyke.
Ward has thrown for 18-23, 219 yards, one touchdown, and one terrible interception. The game is right in front of the team and will have to perform at a higher level to finish off the Demon Deacons.
