What can Miami learn from their near loss against Virginia Tech?

Ward had two other turnovers in the game, both interceptions while driving deep in Virginia Tech territory. His first pick was a pass intended for Xavier Restrepo near the goal line. Restrepo appeared open, but Ward didn't see the defender shading over and perfectly anticipating the throw. This also directly led to seven points.

The second interception came while Miami was down 10 points. Targeting Restrepo again, Ward attempted to put a ball into a tight window around the five-yard line, but he threw it behind Restrepo and right at a defender.

It very well could have been a 94-yard pick-six, but excellent hustle from Elijah Arroyo allowed him to drag down former Hurricane Kaleb Spencer at the plus-17. That turned out to be a game-saving tackle. Instead of falling behind 34-17, Miami held the Hokies to a three-and-out.

Unfathomably, the Hokies attempted a fake field goal attempt, but Miami blew it up and gained all the momentum right back. From that point on, Miami outscored Virginia Tech 21-7. There's no doubt this game would not have been as close as it was if Cam Ward took better care of the ball.

With his mindset of believing he can make any play, Ward is going to make some mistakes but he needs to understand good decisions from bad ones and limit the turnovers as much as possible.
