After Miami's 34-17 win at Virginia Tech on Saturday, an ESPN recap graphic labeled the result as the Hurricanes surviving a scare, and that quickly made the rounds on Instagram and X with screen grabs and plenty of eye rolls from Miami fans. For Miami fans, it probably caused more drama than the actual game did, with all due respect to Virginia Tech.
