COL FB: Miami (Fla.) 21, Florida 16

MIAMI, Sept. 7 (UPI) -- Duke Johnson ran for 59 yards and a decisive fourth-quarter touchdown Saturday in Miami's 21-16 win over 12th-ranked Florida.

Johnson, who had 21 carries, crashed over from 2 yards out with 3:29 to play to put Miami (2-0) ahead 21-9 and give the Hurricanes the cushion they needed to withstand Solomon Patton's touchdown catch on Florida's (1-1) next possession.
