A look at the final stats in Virginia Tech’s 28-10 loss to Miami and it’s pretty clear the Hurricanes dominated the Hokies in all phases. Miami finished the game with 429 total yards, although Bud Foster’s defense did force three turnovers. Unfortunately for the Hokies, those turnovers led to many empty trips down the field on offense.
Speaking of the offense, it looked like a unit that was listless and overmatched from the start. Offensive coordinator Brad Cornelsen did very little to get freshman quarterback Josh Jackson comfortable. Early in the game, the Hokies were too content running the football straight into a pile of defenders.
