The Virginia Tech Hokies (2 - 2, 0 - 2 CONF) are on the road this week as they play the Miami Hurricanes (2 - 2, 0 - 1 CONF). Miami will be hosting this game at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, FL. Miami will be taking the field a week removed from a nice win over CMU. Virginia Tech will be looking to rebound from an absolute reckoning against Duke. Miami will be heavily favored in a game that could get out of control early.
Virginia Tech will be taking the field with a team that is balanced on offense. Virginia Tech is scoring 23 PPG on offense this season while racking up 364 yards from scrimmage per game. The Hokies like to lean on the play of running back Deshawn McClease (58 carries, 222 yards), so we expect him to get fed early. Virginia Tech is surrendering 29 PPG to opposing teams on defense this season.
The Miami Hurricanes come into this game as a wrecking ball on defense. Miami is holding opposing teams to just 16 PPG on defense while scoring 31 PPG on offense. Miami is paced by the play of QB Jarren Williams (1,027 yards, 7 TD) and he will be our player to highlight in this game. Miami should be able to put serious points on the board in this game.
