Piece of cake: Kaaya throws 4 TDs, Miami tops FAMU 70-3

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- The student section sang "Happy Birthday" to Brad Kaaya before the game, and there were a slew of text messages awaiting the Miami quarterback afterward. All that was nice, but all he really wanted was what was on the scoreboard. Kaaya threw for four touchdowns on the day he turned 21, Miami scored a school-record 42 points in the third quarter and the Mark Richt era began with an easy 70-3 win over Florida A&M on Saturday night. "This is the only birthday present I wanted today, honestly," Kaaya said. "All the other things are cool and stuff, but this is what the day was about." The Hurricanes (1-0) had three backs -- Joe Yearby, Mark Walton and Gus Edwards -- all top 100 yards, the first time a Miami trio has done that since 1987. Yearby ran for two scores, Walton and Edwards each ran for one, and seven other Hurricanes reached the end zone.
