Miami ? Randy Shannon’s debut as coach of the Miami Hurricanes was a breeze. Javarris James ran for two touchdowns, Tavares Gooden and Calais Campbell had interceptions to set up easy scoring drives, and the Hurricanes recorded six sacks while beating Marshall, 31-3, Saturday.

Graig Cooper ran 12 times for 116 yards in his first college game, James rushed for 99 more and Kirby Freeman completed nine of 21 passes for 81 yards and a touchdown as Miami (1-0) won its final season-opener at the Orange Bowl.

Bernard Morris completed 16 of 27 passes for 162 yards for Marshall (0-1), but was intercepted three times.

Unranked entering a season for the first time since 1998, Miami looked at the opener as its first chance to prove this isn’t the same sort of team that stumbled its way to a 7-6 record last season.
