REPORT: Miami QB Cam Controversy with Bold Post-Game Statement After Virginia Tech Victory
Many consider Miami Hurricanes quarterback Cam Ward to be among the top players in college football, and the odds for the Heisman Trophy seem to back that up — Ward entered Week 4 as the favorite with +375 odds, according to BetMGM.
However, following Miami’s narrow 38-34 victory over Virginia Tech on Friday — where the Hurricanes survived after a Hokies’ Hail Mary was ruled incomplete upon video review — some are questioning whether Ward and Miami are truly living up to the hype.
Despite the doubts, Ward believes the win was a defining moment for both him and the Hurricanes, reinforcing his reputation as a leading quarterback.
“I’m the best player in the country,” Ward told the ACC Network. “I say that with humility and confidence. I came to Miami for moments like this — to play with a strong offense and defense — and both sides stepped up today.
Here’s a paraphrased version of that passage: How to make everyone dislike you with just one interview,” a user quipped.Another fan added, “You’re not that guy, pal, refs saving you like they do for Mahomes.
Seriously, stop overhyping Cam. Letting the Hokies get that close is embarrassing,” a third commented.One fan bluntly stated, “You only came to Miami because you were about to go undrafted.
Another chimed in, “By the way, you’re not even the best player in the ACC.In the game against Virginia Tech, Ward completed 24 of 38 passes for 343 yards, threw four touchdowns, and had two interceptions. He also ran the ball 10 times for 57 yards, adding a rushing touchdown.
