After two games on the road, the Virginia Tech Hokies are heading back home. Virginia Tech and the Miami (FL) Hurricanes will face off in an ACC battle at 12:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at Lane Stadium/Worsham Field. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.
The Hokies received a tough blow last week as they fell 45-29 to the Pittsburgh Panthers. Virginia Tech's defeat came about despite a quality game from RB Malachi Thomas, who punched in one rushing touchdown.
Miami (FL) lost a heartbreaker to the North Carolina Tar Heels when they met last October, and they left with a heavy heart again last week. It was a hard-fought game, but the Hurricanes had to settle for a 27-24 loss against UNC. Miami (FL)'s defeat came about despite a quality game from QB Tyler Van Dyke, who passed for three TDs and 496 yards on 57 attempts. Van Dyke's performance made up for a slower contest against the Middle Tenn. Blue Raiders three weeks ago.
Virginia Tech is expected to lose this next one by 7. Now might not be the best time to take Virginia Tech against the spread since they've let down bettors for the past four consecutive games.
The Hokies are now 2-4 while the Hurricanes sit at 2-3. Virginia Tech is 1-2 after losses this season, Miami (FL) 0-2.
