The early slate of games on Saturday had UNC and Miami sweating early with their slim margin of making the conference title game on the line. It’s unlikely that Clemson falls again but the possibility remains a small hope for the two.
Miami looked to have no answers for Virginia Tech’s pass rush as they came early and often scoring six sacks on the day. Miami trailed only by a point at the half but it seemed Hendon Hooker was too much for the Miami defense as they went up by 11. It would be all VT could muster though as the offense sputtered and Miami rallied back by relying more on the RPO to nullify the pass rush.
