Carson Beck threw three touchdown passes and Mark Fletcher Jr. ran for two more to lead the host Miami Hurricanes to a 49-12 victory over South Florida on Saturday night in Miami Gardens, Fla.

The No. 5 Hurricanes (3-0) totaled 576 yards and jumped out to a 14-0 lead over the No. 18 Bulls (2-1), who earned their ranking after beating then No. 25 Boise State and then-No. 13 Florida to open the season.

Fletcher ran for 120 yards on 16 carries while Beck completed 23 of 28 passes for 340 yards and the Georgia transfer threw his first two interceptions as a Miami quarterback.

But the Hurricanes' defense rendered the miscues inconsequential as Miami beat USF for the seventh time in eight meetings all-time.
