Cam Ward and the Miami Hurricanes beat the Louisville Cardinals 52-45 in an ACC game in Week 8 of the college football season. Here's the game recap.

The Miami Hurricanes once again won a tightly contested conference game, this time a 52-45 road win over the Louisville Cardinals, to remain undefeated. And it played a part in Miami staying put in the AP top-25 poll for a third consecutive week. The Hurricanes once again checked in at No. 6 in the latest edition of the AP poll, released on Sunday.

Instead of being tied at 45 following Louisville’s fumble return, Miami’s drive continued and two plays later Damien Martinez sealed the victory with a 30-yard touchdown run. The Hurricanes, who entered the week leading all FBS schools in scoring and yards per play, rolled up 541 yards of total offense, including 222 rushing yards.
