Marcus Forston, Marcus Robinson and Olivier Vernon all notched their first sack of the season in the first quarter. Vernon tallied a career-high 3.5 sacks for a loss of 36 yards. Josh Holmes added a sack for a loss of eight yards in the first play of the second half. Miami's eight sacks tonight are the most for the 'Canes since they posted nine in a 24-14 win over Duke on Sept. 29, 2007.
Harris completed 12 of 15 passes for 210 yards and three touchdowns before sitting out the second half, and the 13th-ranked Hurricanes got their first shutout since 2006 by beating overmatched Florida A&M 45-0 to open the season Thursday night.
