Stephen Morris threw two first-quarter touchdown passes to put Miami ahead, and Florida gave the ball away on four red-zone trips as the Hurricanes knocked off the 12th-ranked Gators, 21-16, yesterday.

Duke Johnson had a 2-yard touchdown run for a 21-9 lead with 3:29 left for Miami (2-0), which has won four straight dating to last season, the longest such streak for the Hurricanes since 2008.

Jeff Driskel completed 22 of 33 passes for a career-best 291 yards and a late touchdown for Florida (1-1). But he had two interceptions, fumbled once and was stopped on a fourth-down try for another giveaway.

Florida outgained Miami 413-212, had a 22-10 edge in first downs, outran the Hurricanes 122-50, enjoyed nearly a 2-1 edge in time of possession and held Miami to 1-for-11 on third-down chances.-- AP
