The Miami Hurricanes have flirted with disaster against ACC foes all season, and Saturday was no different.
Fresh off a 41-8 drubbing of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, the third-ranked Hurricanes stagnated early before they woke up and downed the Virginia Cavaliers 44-28 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, after falling behind by 14 points in the third quarter.
But thanks to safety Jaquan Johnson's pick-six, several clutch plays from quarterback Malik Rosier and a stout second-half showing on defense, the Hurricanes improved to 10-0 and further solidified their status as College Football Playoff contenders in 2017.
