off a Duke challenge for the fourth straight year in a 34-16 win
Saturday.

opened the floodgates for Miami (8-3, 5-3 Atlantic Coast
Conference). Leonard Hankerson had career bests of eight catches
and 143 yards - including a 44-yard score - for the Hurricanes, who
scored the final 24 points to keep hope alive for their first
10-win season since 2003.
Thaddeus Lewis finished 20 of 37 for 303 yards for Duke (5-6,
3-4), taking over the school's all-time lead in passing yardage
with 9,678. Donovan Varner caught eight passes for a career-high
165 yards and a touchdown for the Blue Devils, who have now lost 55
straight away from home against ranked opponents, dating to October
1971.
