The Hokies used a balanced offense and devastating defense to rout the Hurricanes. Virginia Tech threw for 272 yards and ran for 251. They wore Miami’s thin defense down and repeatedly got to Brad Kaaya with eight sacks.
Offensively the story of the night was Tech Quarterback Jerrod Evans. Evans threw for 259 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 98 yards and another touchdown. He was backed by running back Travon McMillan who ran for 131 yards on 18 carries and Bucky Hodges who had seven receptions for 66 yards and two touchdowns.
