Freshman Andres Borregales kicked a go-ahead 43-yard field goal with 2:04 remaining to lift the No. 22 Miami Hurricanes to a 25-23 win over Appalachian State Saturday night.
The game was played before 45,877 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, FL and a ESPNU national television audience.
On fourth-and-6 at Appalachian State’s 47-yard line on the ensuing possession, Mountaineers quarterback Chase Brice’s pass was broken up by UM cornerback Tyrique Stevenson — his third pass breakup of the game. Miami took over with 55 seconds left and ran out the clock.
D’Eriq King threw for 200 yards and rushed for 74 for the Hurricanes (1-1), who snapped a three-game losing streak dating back to the 2020 season.
