Mario Cristobal and Miami took care of business on Saturday, as the Hurricanes dominated the Pittsburgh Panthers to the tune of 52-23.
After the game, Cristobal and Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi met at the center of the field, and the two had a frosty exchange as they both patted each other on the back repeatedly.
Here’s a clip:
It was another clinical day for the Miami offense, as quarterback Darian Mensah showed why he has a great chance to go to New York for the Heisman Trophy presentation. He finished 31-of-37 for 387 yards and four touchdowns.

His favorite target once again was Malachi Toney, who had 16 catches for 194 yards and three touchdowns.
Narduzzi made headlines when he called out the AP voters for not having the Panthers in, but this is the third consecutive game they have lost. A big part of that has been the loss of quarterback Mason Heintschel due to injury, who threw for 1,304 yards, 14 touchdowns and only one interception in the first five games.
Up next for Miami is a road game at North Carolina, with a huge game the following week at Notre Dame looming. The Hurricanes have been dominant all year, but that No. 1 ranking will be challenged a lot over the next two weeks.
