The many previews of the Virginia Tech Miami football game have focused on the fact that the Hokies are coming in wounded. That includes Hurricanes head coach Manny Diaz. Diaz said not to expect the same team every week no matter who Miami is playing. Although consistency is what separates the great teams from the good ones.
Entering the game with identical 2-2 records Miami versus Virginia Tech is still a marquee game. The 3:30 Eastern Time kickoff on ESPN indicates that. This is a huge game for Miami’s quest to win its second ACC Coastal Division title in three seasons. A Miami win over Virginia Tech gives the Hokies their third ACC loss this season.
