Mensah and Mallory lead the Canes past Duke 36-25 at Hard Rock Stadium
The 5AM Miami team
If you watched the Canes on Saturday, you saw Darian Mensah beat his old team. Miami beat Duke 36-25 and bounced back from last week's loss at Notre Dame. Mensah, who led Duke a year ago, completed 30 of 41 passes for 382 yards without an interception, and Javian Mallory scored three touchdowns.

Mensah said facing Duke "definitely did feel different," but it was "kill mode" once the ball was snapped. Miami's Xavier Lucas intercepted Duke's quarterback with 6:54 left, and Mallory scored on the next possession. Duke's Nate Sheppard had 240 all-purpose yards in the loss.

Wake Forest's win over SMU Saturday put Miami on the cusp. A title rematch with Wake Forest, whose only loss came against Miami, looks likely.
