When Miami visited Virginia Tech in 2022, the Canes walked away with their first of three total conference wins of the season.

In a 20-14 barn burner of a game, Cristobal coaches the Canes through a gritty performance against the Hokies.

Virginia Tech isn’t the strongest team on the road, so if Miami fails to defend its home turf against the Hokies in 2024, it will spell ruin for Cristobal, the Canes, and the rest of the season.

Not to mention, the matchup with Virginia Tech will be Miami’s first home conference game of the year. In other words, the Canes need to stand on business.
