Carson Beck throws 3 TDs, No. 16 Miami rolls to 41-7 win over N.C. State

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) --- Carson Beck passed for 291 yards and three
touchdowns, two of them to Malachi Toney, and No. 16 Miami --- looking to climb
in the College Football Playoff rankings --- rolled past N.C. State 41-7 on
Saturday.
Beck completed his final 13 throws to cap off a 21-for-27 day for the
Hurricanes (8-2, 4-2 Atlantic Coast Conference). Miami now has five wins by at
least 25 points this season, the most in a single year by the Hurricanes since
the 2002 team had six such victories.
Jakobe Thomas picked off two passes in the first quarter, running one of them
back for a touchdown for Miami. And Girard Pringle Jr. more than doubled his
season rushing total for the Hurricanes; he ran for 116 yards on Saturday, one
more than he had in his first four games of the year.
Miami took a 41-0 lead before substituting liberally in the fourth quarter on
Senior Day, the last regular-season home game for the Hurricanes. Miami
outgained N.C. State 581-149.
CJ Bailey completed 17 of 30 passes for 120 yards for N.C. State (5-5, 2-4).
The Wolfpack --- with Miami playing reserves on defense at the time --- got on
the scoreboard on a rushing touchdown from Bailey with 2:18 left. That extended
N.C. State's streak of not getting shut out to 144 games; its last time being
blanked was Oct. 4, 2014.
Miami was 15th in this week's CFP ranking, the highest of any ACC team.
The takeaway N.C. State: The Wolfpack have now allowed 36 or more points in four consecutive games, the first time the program has done that since a four-game stretch late in the 2013 season against Duke, Boston College, East Carolina and Maryland. Miami: The Hurricanes finished their eight-game home schedule with 510,673 tickets distributed, a Miami single-season record. The average of 63,834 per game is the second-most in program history; the Hurricanes averaged 69,539 in the 2002 season. Up next N.C. State: Hosts Florida State on Friday. Miami: At Virginia Tech on Nov. 22. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here and here (AP News mobile app).
