Even with Miami (FL) football quarterback Cam Ward ready for a big game, his performance against California football was one he would like to forget. One of the frontrunners for the Heisman Trophy, he told the Miami Herald there is nothing to celebrate about his comeback performance.

“I would probably say middle,” Ward said. “I missed a lot of plays that I would like to have back. That’s something I’m starting to realize that every game I get is an opportunity to take advantage of. We just need to stop abandoning plays as a whole team. I think the sooner we can do that – hopefully we do that on Saturday – both sides of the ball can ultimately play our best brand of football.”

Ward makes a strong point. Miami (FL) football trailed California 35-10 at one point in the game. However, Ward’s wizardry came out and he ran for the Heisman Trophy. He helped his team defeat California 29-3 in the final three and a half quarters. From designed runs to execution on the deep ball, Ward did everything he could to secure another conference win.
