Tyler Van Dyke or Jake Garcia? A former Hurricanes quarterback breaks down the choice

In 2018, the Miami Hurricanes started the season with an experienced quarterback slated to be the starter. But in the fourth game, the coach turned to a younger signal-caller to try to get a spark on offense.

Sound familiar?

Four years later, the same situation reappeared, but instead of Malik Rosier and N’Kosi Perry, now it is Tyler Van Dyke and Jake Garcia. Miami benched Van Dyke, who entered the season as a Heisman candidate, in favor of Garcia while the Hurricanes struggled in a stunning loss to Middle Tennessee State on Saturday.

Hurricanes coach Mario Cristobal reportedly did not commit to either quarterback starting Miami’s next game in a postgame radio interview.
