Miami Hurricanes vs. Virginia Tech Hokies: Info, Odds, Where to Watch, and More
The Miami Hurricanes are back in action on Saturday, trying to secure their first conference win of the season. They'll have to do that on the road, where they also have yet to win in 2022. Canes quarterback Tyler Van Dyke looks to be over his early season hiccups so this might be the game where Miami finally tears the lid off.
As for Virginia Tech, the Hokies are close to the bottom of the conference totem pole. They've given up 40-plus points in both of their last two games and that's a good sign for this typically lackluster Miami offense. If the Canes win here, it'll be a big step towards getting back on track.

The Rundown
For Miami, this may not be a do or die game but it still holds quite a bit of weight. They may not have a realistic shot at the ACC title game, but the Canes still should deliver seven or eight wins this year. If they're going to do that, the Hurricanes essentially have to win here. Be on the lookout for a determined Miami squad, but not a desperate one.
The Hokies defense has been mediocre at best, but so has the Hurricanes offense most of the time. Miami made some big strides in that department against North Carolina. Now, they just have to turn that offense into points and wins. Scoring in the red zone will be a focus for the Canes today, and they'll need to get seven out of those trips rather than three.
Knowing Virginia Tech, Miami will need to stay on their toes when on special teams and keep a lid on their turnovers. Miami needs to avoid mental mistakes at all costs in Blacksburg on Saturday afternoon. If they can control the ball and do the little things right, the Canes should get their first conference win here.
