Darian Mensah and No. 4 Miami remain fixed on the process, even amid hot start
Mensah said Miami is still focused on the next game as the Hurricanes enter a bye week 5-0 and near the top of the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Miami quarterback Darian Mensah led the Hurricanes to a 5-0 start while maintaining an 84.2% completion rate, yet remains focused on daily improvement rather than his Heisman Trophy-contending statistics.
Hurricanes coach Mario Cristobal instills a '1-0' process-oriented mindset, pushing players to focus on the next game rather than past victories or current rankings, an approach that carried Miami to last season's College Football Playoff national championship.
Driving the offense, Mensah has thrown 15 touchdowns with zero interceptions, while wide receiver Malachi Toney leads the Atlantic Coast Conference with 604 yards on 39 catches.
Entering a bye week, Miami manages injuries to the secondary and offensive line before hosting Florida State on October 17 for their annual rivalry game.
Following the rivalry game, the Hurricanes face a potential first-place showdown with Pitt the following week, aiming to replicate the success that propelled them to last season's College Football Playoff national championship.
