Mark Fletcher Jr. ran for a career-high three touchdowns to lead the host Miami Hurricanes to a 42-7 victory over the Stanford Cardinal on Saturday night in Miami Gardens, Fla.

Fletcher Jr. totaled 106 yards on 23 carries and scored all three of his touchdowns in the third quarter to help the No. 9-ranked Hurricanes (6-1, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) break open a close game by scoring the game's final 42 points after trailing 7-0 for most of the first half.

Stanford (3-5, 2-3) has still not won back-to-back games this season and dropped to 0-5 on the road.

The Hurricanes were held scoreless until Carson Beck lobbed a fade pass into the corner of the end zone, which C.J. Daniels snagged despite tight coverage for a 5-yard touchdown with 1:15 left in the second quarter.
