The Virginia Tech Hokies , with a current record of 2-2, are gearing up for a formidable challenge. They are set to face the undefeated 4-0 Miami Hurricanes on their home turf. The Hurricanes, led by the exceptional quarterback Cam Ward , are riding high on an impressive performance in Week 4's 50-15 win over South Florida. Ward's record-breaking performance, throwing for 404 yards and three touchdowns, made him the 13th player in NCAA history to reach 15,000 passing yards and the first ACC player in the past 25 years to achieve at least 300 passing yards and three touchdown passes in each of the season's first four games.
Virginia Tech is fully aware of the challenge ahead as they prepare to face Miami. To upset the undefeated Hurricanes and hand them their first loss of the season, Virginia Tech must bring their A-game. The stage is set for a thrilling battle on the field.
Staff writes: "The Hurricanes have a 91.7% chance to claim victory in this game per the moneyline's implied probability. The Hokies have a 12.7% implied probability. Miami (FL) has won three games against the spread this season, while failing to cover once. Virginia Tech has covered once in three matchups with a spread this year."
Troy Perlowitz writes: "But with all due respect, Miami is on another planet compared to those schools and should prove that on Friday. Though the Heisman Trophy candidate is going against the second-best pass defense in the ACC, Ward will have an opportunity to show why he belongs in that conversation and take some deep shots against an untested Hokies secondary."
Jason Ence writes: "Virginia Tech’s ability to make up some ground late in defeats also helps. The Hokies scored 24 second-half points against Vanderbilt, and 16 points in the fourth quarter last week against Rutgers. Miami has no problem running up the score, and there is no love lost between these two programs. Virginia Tech will post some garbage time points like it did last week, and that will push the total Over."
