Mallory's clutch free throws lift No. 14 Virginia past Miami in Bennett tribute at JPJ

No. 14 Virginia rallied from an 11-point first-half hole to edge Miami 86-83 at John Paul Jones Arena, finishing with Chance Mallory's three free throws after a late foul on a 3-pointer as Jacari White delivered a timely 3 earlier; the ceremony honoring former UVA coach Tony Bennett preceded the game, and Virginia extended its winning streak to eight while six Cavaliers scored in a tense, 12-lead-change affair.

Darian Mensah: UM's QB Upgrade Draws NFL Praise and High Hopes

Duke transfer Darian Mensah, who finished the regular season second in the nation in touchdown passes and passing yards and helped Duke win the ACC title and Sun Bowl, has drawn NFL‑level praise from coaches and analysts. He's an accurate, pocket‑poised passer who thrives in play‑action and posted standout numbers when blitzed (65.3% on 199 attempts, 22 TDs, 2 INT); however, his accuracy drops under heavy pressure and he had eight fumbles last season. His deep‑ball numbers are uneven, but his overall skill set and leadership give UM a high‑upside quarterback with noticeable pro potential if he continues to develop.

Miami lands high-profile transfer duo: Mensah and Barkate commit to Hurricanes

Miami officially adds quarterback Darian Mensah and wide receiver Cooper Barkate from Duke, pairing a top-tier passer with a top-10 receiver to elevate the Hurricanes’ offense; Mensah has two years of eligibility (with the option to turn pro after next season) and Barkate has one, as UM expands its portal haul following an NIL-related settlement with Duke.

Mensah Saga Set to Reshape Miami and Duke's 2026 QB Decisions

Darian Mensah’s fate rests in a Thursday court hearing that could determine whether he can play for Miami in 2026, while Duke has already landed Walker Eget and positions him as their likely 2026 starter—meaning Mensah’s return to Duke appears unlikely. Mensah remains in the transfer portal under a temporary restraining order that bars enrollment elsewhere, and the ruling could force Miami to pivot or keep aggressively pursuing portal targets. Had he joined Miami, his near-4,000-yard, 34-TD season would boost the Hurricanes’ ACC title hopes, and Miami continues to add players such as Damon Wilson II, Vandrevius Jacobs, and Omar Thornton for 2026.

Abella Danger backs Mendoza as Raiders' potential No. 1 pick

Miami Hurricanes superfan and adult-film star Abella Danger weighed in on Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza’s draft prospects, calling him quick, powerful and intentional and saying the Raiders would be lucky to have him as a potential No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft; Mendoza, who threw for 3,535 yards and 41 touchdowns in Bloomington, has already praised Las Vegas as the team pursues a new head coach after Pete Carroll’s firing.

Miami Almost Executed a Trick Punt TD That Could’ve Changed the CFP Final

Miami was inches from a blocked-punt TD turning point in the 3rd quarter. A designed trick play on Indiana’s punt would’ve yielded a 95-yard return and a 14-10 Miami lead, but the punt was perfectly placed, forcing Malachi Toney to field at the 4-yard line and preventing the play. Miami then went three-and-out, and Indiana recovered the punt for a touchdown, widening the gap to 17-7 and creating a pivotal 14-point swing in the CFP final.

NIL Court Showdown Could Fast-Track Mensah to Miami

Miami Hurricanes’ bid to add Duke quarterback Darian Mensah could hinge on a court ruling: Duke is suing Mensah over a multi-year NIL contract that allegedly prevents him from enrolling elsewhere, and a judge has ordered Duke to place him in the transfer portal with an expedited decision likely by Wednesday. Mensah, a 6’3” 205-pound playmaker who threw for 3,973 yards and 34 TDs in 2025 and has two years of eligibility left, would bolster Miami’s quarterback room as Carson Beck departs and Emory Williams weighs a transfer. The dispute echoes earlier transfer-saga dynamics seen in the Xavier Lucas case.

Indiana Stands Tall as Miami’s Beck-Driven Comeback Hopes Flicker

Miami’s defense harassed Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza in the national championship, while Miami’s offense struggled early but found a late spark. A rough sequence—including a potential targeting hit and a costly special-teams miscue—helped Indiana reach a 24-21 lead, with nine minutes left. The stage was then set for Carson Beck and Miami to attempt an improbable comeback, as Indiana chose a field goal on a crucial fourth‑down instead of going for it, leaving Miami with a final-minute chance to rally.

Miami's title bid derailed by special-teams miscues, Kalter under scrutiny

Miami's national title bid ended 27-21 to Indiana after costly special-teams miscues—Carter Davis's 50-yard miss and a blocked punt for a touchdown—that swung the game and drew scrutiny toward Danny Kalter's unit. The piece argues coaching mattered on those plays, but suggests Cristobal is unlikely to fire Kalter, instead highlighting the contributions of coordinators Shannon Dawson and Corey Hetherman.
