CORAL GABLES, Fla. — New Miami quarterback Cam Ward is a legitimate Heisman Trophy candidate who transferred in from Washington State after flirting with the NFL this past spring. He's already the ACC's preseason player of the year. And he hasn't thrown a pass yet for Miami, but it's already his team. He threw for 311 yards per game last season and in his four college seasons he's piled up 13,876 yards and 119 touchdowns. The only quarterback in college football entering this season, at any level, with more career yards is Oregon transfer Dillon Gabriel, who has 14,865.
