Breaking news:Damien Martinez’s terminated his contract with hurricanes and announce his departure..

Damien Martinez’s biggest play so far with the Miami Hurricanes came at the most opportune time on Saturday.

With the sixth-ranked Hurricanes holding onto a one-score lead late in the fourth quarter against Louisville, Martinez took a handoff and ran forward. Martinez, a stocky 6-0, 232-pound running back, barreled his way through a pair of Cardinals defenders and then carried a third and fourth into the end zone for a 30-yard rushing touchdown.

That touchdown ended up serving as the game winner as Miami held off Louisville’s comeback with a 52-45 win at L&N Financial Credit Union Stadi

um.

The offensive line did their job. The tight ends did their job blocking and creating the hole — I just did the rest,” Martinez said. “I’m coached to get to the spot in the second level [of the defense] and then do what you do.”

The Hurricanes have been waiting for Martinez and the run game as a whole to do what it did on Saturday for some time now.

With Cam Ward playing at a Heisman Trophy-worthy level, the lack of production when it matters sometimes gets pushed to the side.
