It was Miami's third straight win by at least 17 points, following dominant performances against Syracuse and NC State.
On Saturday in Blacksburg, Miami looked every bit like a team that still believes it belongs in the College Football Playoff conversation. Miami went on the road and handled Virginia Tech 34-17 at Lane Stadium, riding a near-flawless day from Carson Beck and another breakout performance from freshman star Malachi Toney. The Hurricanes led 20-3 at halftime, scored on all four first-half possessions and never trailed while improving to 9-2 overall and 5-2 in the ACC.
