No. 1 Miami, in its first game atop AP poll since 2002 season, rolls past Pitt 52-23

Malachi Toney had a school-record 16 catches, Dariah Mensah threw for 387 yards and four touchdowns and No. 1 Miami rolled past Pitt 52-23 on Saturday in the Hurricanes first game as the nation s top-ranked team in nearly 24 years. Toney finished with 194 receiving yards and three touchdown catches, while Javian Mallory rushed for two scores and Mark Fletcher Jr. moved into the No. 2 spot on Miami s all-time list with the 33rd rushing TD of his career. The win should keep Miami (7-0, 5-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) atop the poll when the AP Top 25 is updated Sunday — ending what has been a three-week run of the No. 1 team dropping in the poll after a loss. Texas was No. 1 before losing to Oklahoma, then Georgia was No. 1 before falling to Auburn. Miami native Blue Hicks had five catches for 149 yards and a touchdown for Pitt (5-3, 2-3), which dropped its third straight game. Holden Geriner got the start at quarterback and completed 18 of 32 passes for 268 yards and a touchdown
