Max Chadwick of Pro Football Focus stated that the "matchup to watch when Miami (FL) has the ball" is "Miami's offensive line against Virginia Tech’s pass rush." Chadwick noted Miami allows pressure on 16.5 percent of dropbacks in 2025, which is the lowest rate nationally.
Miami quarterback Carson Beck has an 83.5 percent adjusted completion rate when he is kept clean. That is the sixth-lowest rate in the Football Bowl Subdivision per Chadwick. Miami is sixth nationally, allowing 3.3 tackles per loss per game and eighth, permitting 0.9 sacks per game.
Chadwick expects Virginia Tech to present a challenge to the Miami offensive line.
