Miami then got a 59-yard TD on a punt return from Ginn early in the second stanza and tacked on seven more on Fasano's 17-yard touchdown catch from Pennington with 9:36 left in the half. There was no further scoring and the home team took a 17-0 lead into the intermission.

Following a scoreless third quarter, Miami upped its lead with 7:40 left in the contest.
