In the Heisman Trophy race, it may be Gino Torretta. The senior completed 28 of 40 passes for 363 yards and three touchdowns, leading the top-ranked Hurricanes past the Mountaineers. To underscore the significance of the performance, Lamar Thomas struck a Heisman pose at the goal line after catching Torretta's final touchdown pass with 6:58 left for a 35-3 lead. In the final 3:40, West Virginia's Darren Studstill threw three touchdown passes, the first two against Miami reserves. The Hurricanes (8-0) extended the nation's longest winning streak to 26 games and earned their 50th consecutive victory at the Orange Bowl. West Virginia (3-3-2) is mired in a four-game winless streak, its longest since 1986. This article is copyright 1992 The Washington Times.
