At the start of the 2021 season, second-year freshman quarterback Tyler Van Dyke wasn’t expected to be battling the premier quarterbacks of the Atlantic Coast Conference.
But from one Top 20-ranked opponent to the next, Van Dyke led the Miami Hurricanes into battle for every ounce of momentum on Saturday.
On the road against the ACC’s leader in scoring offense, Van Dyke threw for a career-high 428 yards and three touchdowns to lead Miami (4-4, 2-2 ACC) past No. 17 Pittsburgh (6-2, 3-1 ACC) in a 38-34 win at Heinz Field.
“What an extraordinary football game,” Miami head coach Manny Diaz said.
