Virginia Tech vs. Miami Full Game | 2021 ACC Football

parchment last saturday in tallahassee that ultimately set up a travis touchdown and meanwhile virginia tech in what ended up being the final game of justin fuente's tenure rolled duke 48-17 at lane stadium so borgalas will kick it away and keyshawn king who's averaging 25 yards of return is deep but we'll watch it sail over his head and here comes braxton burmeister from la jolla california making his 15th career start with the hokies he's eight and six as a starter yeah and he's a guy that that i'm interested to see how he performs justin fuente was such a big part not only as the head coach but as on the offensive side of the football working with the quarterbacks how does burmeister respond he's coming off a performance last week against duke that was one of the most efficient of his career so i'm really looking for braxton burmeister to perform well in this game here's the first down play and that is trey turner who is wearing the jersey tonight of frank beamer the 25 at that wide receiver and he gets nothing on the play it is handled out there on the perimeter by miami so it is second and ten and the hokies with a little bit of tempo here to start burmeister another quick throw and this will be the tight end nick gallo picking up two or three and very quickly third down is tyrique stevenson makes the stop for miami virginia tech a couple of quick passes early they've been so good running the ball the last few weeks that that has to be part of the game plan but we'll see what they go to here early on the third down well raheem blackshear who had a 100-yard day last saturday against duke is in the backfield with burmeister and all of a sudden we have a stoppage of play [Applause] and dwayne height is the referee on the field is a completion the previous play is under further review [Applause] so we'll step aside under the hood on the second snap tonight in south florida [Music] zaxby's boneless wings meal couldn't possibly get any better i stand corrected the great eight boneless wings meal with your choice in motion that's tavion robinson [Applause] here's burmeister and he will run with it here and slide across the 30 to the 32 deandre johnson the tennessee transfer gets him on the ground over in front of the hokey bench miami did a nice job dropping eight on that play covering up all the receivers braxton burmeister actually had a receiver on the far side fall down when he started scrambling that way and virginia tech not able to convert on third down miami looks like they forced the puck and here is peter moore who is fourth in the acc and better than 44 yards and he hammers one at jacoby george who's averaging about nine yards of return and skips the 15. shakes he got 20. here's george cutting to the near sideline and to the 45-yard line as jacoby george finally tackled on the play by the left tackle luke tonuda who drags him so down touchdowns three interceptions he's a big guy with the big arm i think their ability to be explosive with him in the game is which changes miami offense the rooster jalen knight with him in the backfield van dyke going to spin it on first down and deep and it is caught charleston rambo's tear continues this is one of one of the most fascinating match-ups in the entire game today charleston rambo against jermaine waller as miami goes tempo here is knighton's first carry and he slips down it'll be a loss of one on the play maybe two to the 18 another look how about this catch battles through that ball is perfectly thrown fading away from jermaine waller and you can't throw it any better the coverage is actually pretty good you'd love to see waller turn around and play the football but i'm not sure you could play it much better than jermaine waller just did the throw just beat him and just as we got done saying the ability to throw the ball down the field be explosive get those chunk plays tyler van dyke does it daddy is franklin's coming the ball game and a play faked by van dyke back across the middle that's rambo that will push him i believe above a thousand yards he had a 39-yard catch to start the ball game that one goes for right at about nine here and that'll cover the 45 to become the fifth miami receiver all time with a thousand yards or more receiving in a season in the first since alan hearns eight years ago incredible you know there's been a couple of things that have sort of melded together for this miami offense to push them to where they are now one the quarterback position with tyler van dyke two the return of jalen knighton and quarter at running back it's made them more explosive and then three the transfer charleston rambo getting more comfortable in the office third and short here from miami virginia tech pressures van dyke gonna flip it for mallory in the end zone touchdown miami will mallory comes across he's going to run a little out and up on the sideline and on the out the defender starts to look in the backfield when he turns it up there's nobody near him he gets on amari barno the defensive end nobody around tyler van dyke flips it to the back pylon and miami hot out of the gate boy you're not kidding four plays 55 yards in 145 and virginia tech jumped into the neutral zone mallory's last four games in a possession roddy 15 catches 222 yards and now four touchdowns but mallory has certainly been on fire and that's a tough assignment for anybody to draw will mallory and one-on-one coverage especially down in the red zone it's especially tough for a defensive end like amari barno a guy who's used to rushing the passer gets put in pass coverage on a third down miami makes him pick so the kane strike first and strike quickly offside defense with contact half the distance to the goal we will have a try [Applause] we'll get everybody all square taiwan garbage with that extra yard and a half i kind of like to see miami go for two man you turn the volume up early here at look you've been you're hot out the gate it's a yard and a half for two points now i mean a lot of times you see guys do it in the nfl in the league they do it for galas for the point and it will stay in 7-0 despite the concerns of jones up here early van dyke has thrown his 20th touchdown pass of the year and then a heartbeat in 7-0 miami that's the thing about claims you see they don't happen well mallory's granddad was one of the finest gentlemen college football's ever seen indiana's finest football coach ever bill mallory and uh the late coach would be proud of will the way he's been playing here lately and the tear continues on a touchdown catching point tvd was special roddy dvd's been special for most of the season really with the exception of the first quarter against florida state outside of that i mean the guy has been fantastic yeah and certainly here he's powered this offense to an explosive start i thought manny diaz chronicled it very interestingly yesterday when he said well he's made it look a lot easier than it really is now look as a guy who played as a redshirt freshman i can attest to that he's thrown his 20th touchdown pass of the year perfect on the drive three for three 56 yards his 15 touchdowns now in the last four games in a possession and here is keyshawn kane on the kick return and he will slip down right around the 20-21 yard line the drive for 25 is a campaign slogan for virginia tech athletics but tonight taylor it means something different double meaning if you will yeah for wide receiver trey turner not the typical travel day for him down to miami while the team took a flight he actually had to do the drive with two trainers from blacksburg due to an upper body injury he suffered against georgia tech earlier this season their concerns that the cabin pressure of flying will affect his respiratory system infection so guys here's blacks here tyler he'll only get a couple of yards gang tackled by the keynes tyrique stevenson go ahead well the tweets for trey turner ronnie he kind of took you on a social media ride yeah he absolutely did look it's a long drive from blackberry it's really a long drive from anywhere to miami but certainly from blacksburg you see the tweets of what he was going you know we we had to we had we sort of asked some he some of his teammates what do you think guys we're listening to in there that's a long time i just wonder if they had that new adele here's connor bloomberg going and he'll pick up the first down blumrik returning to the hokie lineup for the first time since the notre dame game cashes in on a 13-yard run and a first down for virginia tech before avonte williams makes the play interesting that we see conor blumrick this early in the game certainly a big running threat on the year passing wise a little more limited emotion is gallow blumber could transfer from texas a m out of pearland texas malachi thomas into the ball game quick toss into the boundary side thomas will try and get the edge turned and he got chased down by jafari harvey taylor i want to wrap the story here with turner on the driver that he had to make here i know he had two guys driving right from the training staff yes alex black and zach moss two trainers that drove him i i saw pictures on twitter it looked like he was in the back seat have to imagine he took some naps i have been told they stopped at five guys that was a request of turner's and that adele was played roddy you'll be happy to hear let's go let's go they went easy on me with the adele stuff early on but uh now we have confirmed yeah 30 was in the car tavion robinson was not quite sure adele would have been played and now we got well we got both sides that might have moved here a little bit see what dwayne hate has for us delay a game disconcerting signals number 17 defense five yard penalty results in a penalty first down wayne steed the linebacker the vaulted disconcerting signals here's the tweet that turner sent out when they arrived and i'm guessing that's zach and his buddy in front we had to walk a long way in the parking lot you'd think they'd valet that thing yeah you would think after that kind of ride the thing that no one's talking about is he used to drop back after this game that's correct yeah took them a couple of days a day and three quarters to get here first and ten for the hokies trying to get something going with the freshman thomas who played for rance gillespie at hart county high school in hartwell georgia which is an awfully awfully good high school program riding a lot more guys playing fbs power five football from hart county than one might think yeah malachi thomas has certainly been a great addition to this backfield that's really run the ball well the last four games this miami defense the most stingy they faced in that time though so here is burmeister slipping through and into the open field against the cage goes braxton burmeister for another virginia tech first down so the combination of blubrick and burmeister roddy has uh has posed some problems that's a 20-yard run the common thread is the quarterback run you can see him reading the defensive tackle there pulls it gets up field gets a nice block down field from a couple of players conor blumrick looks like he's back in the game with the rain west you'd have to imagine that the rotation of these guys they're going to keep it on the ground in this drive half so far robinson in motion here's blubrick on the keep again follows a block and we'll be close to another first down jared harrison hunt out of the miami defensive line made the stop it looked like kate moore was his lead blocker there quick snap and here's thomas and that'll be a first down to the 16 of miami you know this sort of the the quarterback reads that they've run the last few plays the few plays before the last one i like that that they're not counting on their offensive line to block the interior of miami they're reading those defensive tackles to take advantage of some of the aggressiveness inside those guys are tough to handle nesta silvera jarrett harrison hunt guys are a load inside here's burmeister back in the game gonna make the long throw turner the catch tried to stay in bounds and i think he tiptoed out around the 12. and that's where they'll spot the catch for trey turner big playing trey 36 start of his career tonight he had 187 yards in the win in atlanta against georgia tech fifth best single game effort by hokie and receiving yards and you see ticketed for the reese's senior bowl and a well-deserved honor rodney absolutely i mean he has been when they've utilized him down the field he's been as good a jump ball receiver as there's been in this league and there's certainly some good ones eighth in the acc at 70 yards a ball game that's robinson his mate in motion here's burmeister a little throwback trying to get it to thomas and a sensational defensive play by ragone rigoni rather ryan rigoni a sophomore from houston and a transfer from arkansas state the ryan rigoni just completely reads this screen see him at the top of the screen now fights through the blocks and is able to bring down malachi thomas seems like the game plan early on for virginia tech quarterback run utilizing the screens trying to take advantage of some of the aggressiveness of miami but this defense has done a nice job so far so here is burmeister with blacks here in the backfield with it a lot of guys hanging out around the line of scrimmage question how many are they going to bring third down and seven blitz coming burmeister on the move he'll keep it and be close to the first down got banged out of bounds by gilbert fryerson and j.c price welcome to decisions quickly trots the field goal team all the field kind of tried to to goad him into telling us what he was going to do see braxton burmeister banged up and they proved we'll see we'll see how he's doing he's been banged up a lot this season but we tried to ask him how are you gonna go for it on fourth down this is obviously not one of those scenarios fourth and three john parker romo's missed four times in 17 tries this is 25 yards and the kick from romo is good hokey's on the board following the miami touchdown price's team marches the field kicks a field goal we cut it to four in south florida frank you're the big hurt why do you need new chicks after 40 a guy loses free testosterone even me i couldn't stay in shape like i used to interesting all the highlights yes all the analysis and all the breakdown and who knows that no ties and rarely sucks hand over in kick and it will be run out by restrepo xavier restrepo 20 coming near side here's rastrepo a little bob and weave gets into midfield 49-yard return by restrepo roddy and here goes miami again and look if this miami offense where they've been at their best it's been chunk plays down the field that have powered them the deep throw from tyler van dyke to charleston rambo and then the touchdown this may not count it to chunk bled when you got a tight end wide open in the end zone it goes on the reel what virginia tech has to do is prevent that make miami drive 10 plays over and over and over because rhett lashley does such a good job of scheming guys over look at this look one to the boundary four to the wide here for van dyke who's perfect so far and here is rambo on another catches third already of the ball game and that'll take him for five yards taylor it'll be second down yeah roddy you're exactly right that big completion from van dyke to rambo that set up the touchdown you feel like you want to bookmark that one i talked with tyler van dyke this week he calls him spark players he said it's been a focus this week to get one early over the course of this season when they have those early they're able to start fast capitalize on that momentum that was a goal of theirs coming into this one feels like it might work again well maybe going too fast there and a penalty on miami fall start offense number 60. five yard penalty second down zion nelson the left tackle making his 31st start tonight [Applause] still listed as a sophomore remember you got a swing on the house yeah of course everybody did and look to taylor's point with the with the explosive plays first drive last week against florida state three and out second drop interception really wasn't able to get that offense going here's van dyke and just behind mike harley mike harley comes into the ball game tonight guys just a couple of catches behind stacey coley he's third all-time in receptions couple three to pass coley and he's in line for reggie wayne by the way the all-time leader in receptions in miami now harley introduced the senior here tonight out of fort lauderdale to the powerful st thomas aquinas program third down the full 10 for van dyke underneath here's the rooster knight's first catch of the night and a first down boy dax holifield finally slowed down jaylen knighton 11 yards well another thing that jaylen knight has brought is a great receiver out of the backfield and they utilize him so well both down the field and there just a little angle route he sticks the linebacker out comes underneath easy completion easy first down another throw harley the catch that time pulls it in at the 25 and a first down shamari connor the nickel was there coverage for the hokies let's take a look at this first off it's a good job on the rpo secondly let's take a look at this hit i don't know wes i think you stop this one and look at targeting i mean that's a defenseless player you got forceful contact to the head and there's the whistle there's the headlines with the whistle buzz down for a first down the previous play is under further review daley is the guy you're talking about here i think a big loss for virginia tech so three and a half to go and rhett lashley and his group are going to huddle during the break here i think letter of the law that's targeting his defenseless player he lowers that shoulder and makes forcible contact to the head or neck area remember that's all you need for a defenseless player wow so we'll see you know these different views you have to confirm all aspects of the target i don't think there's any question the contact is first to the helmet he's forcible he's lowering of the helmet or lowering of the shoulder to hit to get there second time you and i've had this discussion today about letter of the law and targeting we saw in the virginia pit game with cervasi that was a different one don't get me started on that one okay i mean look survive okay this it's a different game surpassing dennis to me was was was shoved with the hands and i get letter of the law but that one was pretty weak this one seems to be okay much more cut and dry you got a receiver going to the ground these are the hits that you're trying to take out of the game i thought the cervasi dennis one was a little more that was a little less marginal would i think this one's pretty clear unless they determine that it's not forcible contact or that there's not an indicator of targeting when you lower the shoulder like that into the helmet i think you're gonna get one and it looked like connor was on the way to making the play and daley could have held up here one could argue and here's here's the judgment part of it in the judgment of the replay official is this a situation where the first contact was to the shoulder pad and then it came to the helmet i don't know we're about to find out after further review it was determined it was targeting personal foul targeting number 17 of the defense half the distance to the goal automatic first down number 17 has been disqualified for the winner of the game well taye daley who came over from vanderbilt three career interceptions for the commodores has 59 tackles and is coming off a 10-tackle game against duke last week is done for the night here in quarter one yeah he is and look the coaching point there is layoff on the hit when the guy's going down he's clearly going to the ground it's unfortunate for this virginia tech defense van dyke after the penalty gonna flip it for rambo did he get a foot down didn't hang on if he did incomplete that is going to be a battle all night long because when miami gets one-on-one with charleston rambo they love to go to it jermaine waller though just fights the ball out the ball's in rambo's hands wallet does a good job of raking it out so now second and ten for the 13th and you've got will mallory split out by himself up here to the top van dyke quick throw trying to get it tonight he could hang on for tisdale right there and amari barno was chasing van dyke for the hokies he tried to clear out with will mallory slip a little screen out to jalen knighton but alan tisdale all over him sets up another third and long the earlier third one they go to jayla knighton out of the backfield on a little angle route mallory and rambo look like they're going to be on the same side of the formation at the top of the screen both of those guys up here those the go-to receivers snap to van dyke hokie's only bringing three van dyke to the right and the throw there's mallory the catch a spin inside the three first and goal waller the play for virginia tech what boys number nine has roddy yeah well look they're going fast now but virginia tech had this thing covered [Applause] there's knight trying to get to the edge and he's taken down we had a flag across the way in the end zone and a match up between waller and the strep-up offside defense number two half the distance to the goal first down look at this so so here's the round combination you get a post and a curl and will mallory just floats out they've got it covered alan tisdale puts his eyes in the backfield loses track of mallory who's wide open there on the sideline tyler van dyke wisely floats out of the pocket delivers the ball down the field the poise on that one was really impressive high formation now first and goal after the penalty here's knight left side touchdown for the hurricanes jalen knight his sixth rushing score of the year and the big thing on this two third and ten conversions for miami it's nice blocking up front gets a lead block plunges into the end zone jalen knight has been the everything back since the injuries to cameron harris and obviously don cheney got hurt early on in the year so since his return but all jaylen knight puts the ball in the end well rostrepo's 49-yard kick return put him at midfield eight plays later tonight in the score and boragalus makes it a 14 to three lead and a marker down on the play looks like hollifield might have run into the kicker personal foul roughing a kicker defense number four the tries good the 15-yard penalty will be enforced on the ensuing kickoff so with 2 42 to go doc's solifield not happy no he certainly not [Applause] i would say he has reason to not be incredibly happy some embellishment but let's talk about jalen knighton and the difference that he's made since he's joined this miami team since he's come back suspended the first four games but chunk plays are what it's been all about the ability to take a little crease against pittsburgh get up the field and show the speed down the field he's done it in the past game as well that one against nc state this one against north carolina his ability to make them explosive from the running back position is something that they thought they would have at the beginning of the year with don with he and don cheney and not that camron harris didn't have some of that but those two guys are different cheney hurt early knight and suspended early his return to this lineup has helped him be more explosive which is helping out tyler man well van dyke by the way seven of his first 10 for 97 yards knight gives him the second touchdown and from midfield for galas top spins one through the end zone i like the idea from boragalus of squibbing it so they can't bear catch it but you can't do it that hard you gotta you know a little more dribble to it well there's someone saying you're trying to kick it off somebody right don't you try and aim it at somebody and make it a live football i just figured you wanted to you want them to return it so you can run down there and tackle them before they get to the 25 and get advantageous field position but you know i guess so maybe you're aiming it at somebody here's a braxton burmeister we'll keep an eye to see remember now they alternated burn meister and blumrick at the quarterback spot in their second possession here's braxton quarterback sweep to the boundary side and he will reach i think past the 25. raheem blackshear the running back with a very nice block on the edge to free his quarterback for about six or seven yeah luke turnu is out there the big offensive tackle caleb smith the receiver all thrown at once there's burmeister quarterback draw all the way he will slide right around the 40-yard line and that's another first down all right brad cornelson the offensive coordinator has found something here ronnie yeah with the quarterback run and really with taking advantage of the aggressiveness of the defensive tackles in particular of miami jordan miller jared harrison hunt in right now as conor blumert comes in and if you're in miami you're thinking quarterback run all the way if he's going to beat you you got to make him beat you over the top with his arm they are seventh for 65 combined blobrick and burmeister and that handoff for keyshawn king goes nowhere in fact it loses a couple back toward the 38 at virginia tech's into the field as we count down the final minute and change of this opening period [Applause] caleb smith is going to join a group that features robinson and turner from lumbrick over here to the wide side of the field another wonder when you're gonna see a password along with right we'll keep it here on the left side follow the block of the perimeter and get toward the 44. dj ivy played in the south dade high school program makes the stop so second and the third not seven roddy brockton burmeister will come back in for the third down snap so the things that that virginia tech is calling to on third down the screen has been one of the big ones tried to set it up a couple of times i thought they go through here but miami showing them again a lot of guys around the line of scrimmage that's smith in motion [Applause] and caught by turner it will be short of the first down trey turner was wrestled to the ground by to corey couch at the 46 and a half yard line offense number 70. that penalty has declined resulted in play fourth down [Applause] parker clements now a little bit of a switch in the offensive line tonight for virginia tech that brings clements to right time yeah there he is silas janzi had to move to left guard because lucita smith out just slams down deandre johnson was coming around the edge but the shuffle is real clements has played a lot at that right tackle spot this year but gets black there five plays and a punt coming for the hokies [Music] and peter morial jacoby george who had a season best 28 yarder in his first one tonight surpasses a 22 he had at chapel hill against carolina in other words jacoby george likes seeing us there's the snap from oscar shadley and george gonna let that hit and it will hop into the end zone and that will be the final play of this first period well mike at miami gardens in particular acc network primetime presented for you by geico second quarter to come now from hard rock miami 14 virginia tech three great to be ready to beat with uh roddy jones and taylor davis adam carpenter producer nick young our director we go to quarter two with tyler van dyke in the canes from their 25 and not a lot there for thaddeus franklin [Applause] on the first snap of the ball game or the quarter i should say franklin had eight for 91 on the campaign most of it against central connecticut state the interesting thing with the running back position at miami right now is it's really been jalen knighton i mean this guy had 32 carries a few weeks ago against georgia tech and then at 190 pounds really it doesn't matter what your statute is you want another guy to split that low second and ten here's van dyke looking to throw big shot downfield caught in stride jacoby george across midfield to the virginia tech 48-yard line on a 32-yard throw dorian strong the tackle just a post route he does a nice job with jermaine waller who has inside leverage making him flip his hips to the outside cutting back in and creating separation against number two here goes the tempo again van dyke gonna sail another one into double coverage and a lot of contact will bring a flag harley was the intended receiver take your pick nasir peoples and also shimari connor were there defending for virginia tech pass interference defense number one 15-yard penalty first down [Applause] let's take a look at the pass interference down the field van dyke actually has george open on the right side but connor had his hands all over him comes in late knocks him down five penalties rowdy 46 yards now on virginia tech in this opening yeah justin hamilton's defensive unit is on their heels i mean miami's ability to get chunk plays on the first drive convert third downs on that last drive and now in only a matter of a few plays because of a chunk play they're in wetland virginia perimeter inside the 20 toward the 17 jordan williams playing that last year at virginia tech after playing most of his career clubs at the start of the stop 16-yard throw van dyke's having a wheel of the night by the way at least earlier look this is one of those formations that's sort of unique to miami while they're getting out of the now they had three players to the boundary had a lot of space open to the field now they've got two by two with stacks on both sides and franklin in the backfield and here his van keeping and i think he slipped trying to turn the corner before connor hit him i don't love tyler van dyke running the football i don't think tyler's a big fan of him based on the hobble certainly not after uh but i mean after tyler mann died they have no depth in that quarterback room i mean they like ryan but jake garcia who was competing with van dyke is the backup is injured he's not playing i mean there's a couple of positions that miami can afford to lose a player quarterback being the primary one this is technically their second here's van dyken flipping into flat and to work goes richard smith toward the pylon and he is ruled out at the one on the people's hit perfect timing ronnie yeah i love the cross action in the backfield frees up the shark smith out there in the flat and again ashley has just been all over this virginia tech defense keeping the pressure on sure has first and goal now for the keynes here's knight and boy got hit right at the point of the time keyshawn artist the sophomore from chesapeake banged in there lost it at least a yard so very quickly second and goal after a loss of at least two here's a look at big artists 240 pounds on a six-foot frame from oscar smith over in the chesapeake area in virginia here's tonight and trying to break away gets to a stack and they push him into the end zone are they going to call it short no it's a touchdown here on the near side for jaylen knight [Applause] the official scurrying from the top of your screen wasn't so sure it took the official on the near side roddy to rule for the score check out the strength by jalen knight jordan williams has him wrapped up the core strength the leg strength not only to be able to get off of that tackle but to hold himself up when he's contacted the second time to allow himself to be pushed into the end zone by his teammates jalen knight showing hey 190 pounds maybe 190 pounds of pure strength and muscle touchdown run for night seventh of the year his second tonight mori galas to make it three for three touchdowns to possessions for miami and the try is good [Applause] my goodness what a start for manny diaz's team winners of three of their last four trying to get to six tonight five dollars for the best hall of fame had their own campus ceremonies for one of the finest linebackers in miami history dan morgan who was a real problem in the late 90s and early 2000s honored here now the front office of the carolina panthers and he's with taylor davis thank you very much for that introduction they just called you a real problem back in your playing days

turner dan morgan now this is ronnie this is 2 000. he was the unanimous all-american first team all big east defensive player of the year in the big east he won the buckets the nagerski and the baton eric an incredible career an incredible player one of a litany of great players on those miami teams of the early 2000s there is walmart on the keep they got by emmy block and connor bruverick finds his way on the weave for the first down keante smith playing at that weak side linebacker spot shoves him out of bounds yeah watch the blocks the the teamwork by tenure and gallow out there on the edge to seal it off and then blomberg able to get up the field you just wonder if your virginia attack on offense when is blumbrick going to throw the ball down the field now try and hit one of these chunk plays that have evaded them so far meister back in the ball game he'll take the shotgun snap here comes the pressure the throw is too high for tavion robinson julius was the giant motion a moment ago at the tight end spot trying to set the perimeter edge for well you had the last two throws were basically in the same part of the field conor blumrick threw a ground ball then you got a braxton burmeister air mailing it into you know the third row almost so maybe they are better off just running the quarterback well you saw jc price with his arms folded here's a throw and robinson a leaping catch at the miami 40 and into hurricane territory goes tavion robinson sophomore from virginia beach this is some kind of catch now that's who he is it's a good delivery too a little bit up down robinson goes and gets it when we get the first down thomas gets about six on first down two on the run for the freshman so second down and maybe five coming up here it's been all miami three possessions three touchdowns and with the way miami's moving to football virginia tech needs many touchdowns not only points out of the track you got to put in the engine that's right burmeister stays on the field here for the second down shot thought about it pauses steps out of the tackle cuts back first down braxton burmeister gives the hokies first and goal at the eighth [Applause] boy took a big lick on the back end for marcus clark yes he did but his ability to escape was impressive you got man-to-man on the back end a little bit of a blitz to get out of the tackle of jafar and harvey a little bit of help it was a little bit of a block throw by avonte williams he missed the tackle threw a block on a guy coming from from defensive line level and burnt like a big play lumber's come back in the ball game thomas stays with it [Music] rolling right and he will throw it out of bounds under the pressure of smith so there's your pass from connor glover you've wondered about we've gotten a couple and neither one has inspired confidence so question how do you how do you manufacture offense down here now second and goal from the eight do you go back to the run with plumbrick you go back to some of that inside run game reading those defensive top [Applause] [Music] he'll push down to maybe the six now you're going to get bracks the burmeister back in the football game right and i think if you're a virginia tech you get it down inside you can get a few yards here get three yards get down inside the three to the two then it's four down territory but if not he's probably kicking the field goals he's just a positive yardage 11 point in the drive kane's coming on the pressure throw for turner in the end zone did he hang on to it he did what a catch by trey turner what a catch [Applause] this is absolutely incredible pins it against his leg look he's got it the ground cannot assist him in making the catch i'm not sure he had control and bounds to be completely honest wes is certainly going to be reviewed it's called a touchdown on the field for turner he spent a day and a half getting here and he's got the gold star player of the game so far yeah he absolutely does go ahead and get on the text thread the wide receiver you thing the exclusive club that decides it are you saying this is not wru well this is a great catch let's see if he maintains control i don't know if he ever establishes control before he hits out of bounds but ronnie what do you see is their indisputable video evidence well the ball hits i don't know if you can consider the ball resting in his lap when it's kind of pinned as he's falling i don't know if that's control the question is indisputable video evidence for it to overturn for it to be overturned it's certainly moving as he's falling out of bounds but if nothing's touched out of bounds then then he's good brian perry the head linesman is watching it yeah it calls the touchdown i i think it stands i think it ends up standing because there is an indisputable video evidence to overturn thank you it's a heck of a catch man it's a heck of a catch as taylor told us he spent a day and a half getting here that's incredible he deserves to have something right all states that he covered won't be stopped you know jacksonville brunswick you know you probably you know the route better than i do this is some kind of catchphrase it's incredible and we saw the bicycle kick catch against richmond on the back line after further review ruling on the field stands touchdown yeah and it's a good call by you not enough to overturn it there certainly even though look this is a testament to our camera crew our camera crew made it tough on them because we've got every shot jc price has got to be fired up with his crew because you're able to get a big play when you need it on a third down you throw a fade ball to your excellent jump ball receiver one of the best in the conference there's nobody better certainly [Music] [Applause] [Music] and he does well trey turner left after practice on wednesday and makes a heck of a play on a saturday night for j.c price all right here we go miller in motion what wait is that a baby on the field it looks like it craig and the defensive lineman are playing peek-a-boo i've never seen anything like that before harris now appears to be burping the baby uh that's a great moment right there ref going to the rule book here well wait a minute harris is off to the races we don't need any more trick players touchdowns but we could all use more ways to save are you kidding me that's got to be a long bus ride home for the defense switch the geico for more ways to save oh yes yes oh uh jared uh i'm gonna need you to stay a little later tonight you know some overtime on your overtime did you bring dinner because i did welcome back to hard rock stadium virginia tech gaining some momentum right before the break and for interim head coach j.c price handling that emotion as a head coach is something he's tasked with here tonight i've been watching him on the sideline keeping his composure for the most part but guys he just couldn't help himself after that last ride some fist bumps some excitement look he told us this week as a defensive line coach you wear your emotion on your sleeve you show that passion and you play with it now as a head coach he's trying to remain even keel but uh he had to let it go that time i don't blame him well and you know he's already had to make a couple decisions here is romo to kick it away restrepo and smith are deep there'll be no return by miami so the canes who were three for three touchdowns to possessions but when you get to know jc bryce you get to know a guy who is a part of the very first lunch pail defense that butt foster started in fact that's the original lunch pail in its first year after they beat texas in the sugar bowl rodney yeah he was telling us that hey that was a loaded texas team the bmw backfield that included ricky williams said they were really good he said yeah they're really good but not that night we were better that night now that bleeds yep virginia tech and absolutely loves this institution i thought it was interesting this week too he talked about his conversations with frank beamer of course who he played for and served as a g8 here's van dyke on first down [Applause] smith will house it tyler van dyke once again making virginia tech pay bad eyes in the backfield for sharksmith started out lined up next to tyler van dyke ends up in the end zone in 10 seconds tyler van dyke swipes momentum from virginia tech it has been an absolute offensive onslaught from this miami team rhett lashley has been all over wow 16 touchdowns in the last four and a half games now for van dyke roddy he's been absolutely fantastic richard smith hold up subway logo wait i'm out of time the solo stove bonfire is the hottest new reason to get outside acc network you're home for men's basketball double dip coming for you monday night georgia tech starts things off at seven hosting charleston southern and mccain pavilion then we'll take you to cameron indoor stadium we're number seven duke and mike czychevsky hosts the citadel right here on acc network the espn f one half and one tap and the hokies there was a look like he called for a fair catch so that's why the whistles blew but keyshawn king started north all right so so you get charleston rambo on the post richard smith is right here he's just going to run a little go around out of the backfield tyler van dyke a little flash fake and look here tyler van dyke knows he's throwing the football because wes if i'm even i'm leaving ball was perfectly placed down the field for sean smith runs right by two defenders and it's a foot race to the end zone and look number 12 is not going to lose that one richard smith to colby george part of that excellent recruiting class from a year ago making a monster impact in this game four possessions four touchdowns and they've had the ball less than eight minutes in this first half there's dulies the tight end are nick gallow 86 the tight end making his presence felt on the first down play of about six yards look i mean it was never the case for me right fast people say it all the time they do that is a fact coming up on seven to play boy hill just gets a little steeper for virginia tech after the great catch by turner here's the throw and another grab by turner a sensational catch inside the miami 40 and he's shaking up on the play 31 yards roddy this is an incredible catch thrown in double coverage and who comes down with it it's the normal number 11 today he's number 25 one of the highest honors in the virginia tech program well we're going to stop it you play as they check on turn [Applause] fuel your grind with gatorade's proven formula and the right blend of electrolytes to help you on your bigger fries bigger drink just 80 cents more with any meal only at zaxby's and see ghostbusters after go he's had this touchdown catch it's remarkable then there's this ronnie i didn't love the decision from braxton vermice where trey turner makes him right by snagging it falls thrown between two miami defenders and his receivers the one that comes down again it's a it's an excellent put it on the text list too all right here is connor some wru candidates out of this game oh man [Applause] oh it keeps on king in the backfield they're going to try and sneak king here to the left side and miami there's silvera who's a handful anytime he plays he certainly is when you talk to many diaz about the improvement of this team he really points to play the defensive tackles he's done a nice job those two guys did a nice job really that rotation done a nice job of being more stout against the run as you see trey turner leaving the field now remember turner has an upper respiratory condition that prevented him from flying that's why the whole trial occurred and he wondered if he had the wind knocked out what did that do here's tamion robinson who thought about the throw and then was taken out of bounds and [Music] looked like for a moment miami might have had him around the top of the jersey yeah this point looked like it was it was doomed a couple of times tavion robinson gets around he's definitely going to throw the ball and not a horse collar tackle kind of grabbed the neck and brought him down he didn't grab the shoulder pad to the back of the jersey so no flag a good call sets up a third wall all right mr jade silvera might have up tavion robinson's pass attempt two by the way yeah it goes well covered down the field too they check black sheer out wide to the top of your screen this is third and a dozen furmeister spins in what another leaping catch for the first down and that's jalen jones a freshman from richmond playing in his third game this year this is some kind of catch of 15 yards it's a great catch from a freshman coming over the middle not only does he go up and catch it but he holds on to it through the contact that's his first catch of the season yeah talk about doing it the hard way boy gilbert fryerson hammered in two on the back end but these receivers have helped out braxton burmeister taught on this drive burmeister another one underneath that time to about the 20-yard line and they throw blackshear back to the pile does it marry carter five tackling five in the game the ball came out after the whistle had blown for forward progress blackster ended up with it and uh virginia tackled a little bit of momentum on the last two two drives offensively remember that j.c price was the d-line coach so brad cornelson and justin hamilton still respected coordinators here's a little throw and overthrown was the tight end gallow burmeister had him and ronnie threw it too high yeah it's man-to-man coverage across the board you see it right there there's your man-to-man coverage and it's going to be man coverage on the outside too gallo just pauses and goes up the sideline braxton burmeister gets out outside the pocket that puts pressure on the defender defender commits you got to make that throw those are the layups only the second in completion for burmeister who's 13 to 15 tonight in the first half third and five for the hokies [Applause] are going to keep it and boy what a nice open field tackle that is from corey flagg the hurricane's leading tackler makes an important stop there it will be fourth down axon burmeister's been slow to get up a couple of times as the rain starts to come down once again it's miami defense and corey flax done a nice job this season a steadying that mike linebacker position a position it was really a struggle for miami a year ago both linebacker spots he and wayne and steve have done a nice job so this is going to be a 36 almost 37 yard field goal from john parker romo who hit earlier tonight for 25. [Applause] and the kick is just inside the right upright for roma so with three and a half to go here in this first half romo kicks a 36-yarder virginia tech back on the board but still trailing about 15 and roddy time to check in with sideline meteorologist tyler davis well good timing because it is officially raining the hardest it has all game but guys the weird thing about this weather conditioning i guess the challenging thing about this weather is the inconsistency of it all game it will start pouring and then it will completely stop i'm noticing these teams are having to adjust game plan on the fly depending on what the weather is doing there's really no way to adjust and also the field a lot of guys are starting to say they're struggling to get good grip and then when the rain stops it's a little sticky so i actually think the inconsistency of this is making it tougher well welcome to south florida the south floridians have told us this is uh it's pretty hard for the course there'll be no return here by the canes so they'll start from their 25 and what a night it's been for tyler van dimes i love it down the field going to charleston rambo and the thing is when he's got dogs open he's hit him i mean that's the biggest thing some of the throws he's made have been absolutely perfect but brett lashes did an excellent job of scheming up guys open you saw the will mallory on will mallory one right there richard smith on the long touchdown the one play drive on the last drive this has been an explosive offense and virginia tech is kind of living the nightmare of allowing miami to be explosive on offense so they bring knight and they'll put him in the right pocket of van dijk first down carry is jalen knight and he'll get three to the 28 as the reign keeps falling on the artist title here's the thing about tyler van dyken manny diaz i thought the compliment paid was this when he said he makes it look a lot easier than it really is but when i asked him what didn't he know about tyler van dyke he said well we probably didn't understand how much boxing he could play with yeah because as he said you just don't know until a guy's out there you know he's more of a quiet guy as most freshmen are but his ability to not only jermaine waller almost had his fifth pick of the year and his second touchdown well on the other side braxton burmeister just missed the layup this one's a layup too i mean this is this is every pre-game drill every starting drill in practice breaking back to the ball catching the football it's it's eerily similar to the one he ran back 26 yards against notre dame yeah it really was except for that it went through his hands correct knight cannot turn the corner that time artists again point artists has shown up big here ronnie came into the ball game with just 13 tackles on the year 18 in his career yeah number 15 right there he's going to come right through the line he's going to read that read exactly what miami wants to do and make the tackle in the backfield virginia tech's got a lot of time now miami gets the ball first in the second half timeout called now so ginny tech with an opportunity to shrink this lead now mother nature certainly has made it more difficult for them so it's a so don't forget coming up at the break the pnc bank halftime report jordan cornett eric mclaine ej manuel coach rick pittsburgh congratulations to pat garduzzi and his team clinching the coastal and clemson i'll tell you what clemson's offense today was as good as it's been all year especially with their ability to run the football and we talked all week the difference was going to be or that the key was going to be can wake block clemson up front and we got that answer earlier he's in five sacks in the first quarter first time we've seen lou headley the aussie is semi-finalist for the ray guy award and they putted away a flag will come out on this tavion robinson was moving into position to field the kick when to corey couch tackled him and that'll be a flag on miami for kick catch interference he got there like a half second two pick catch interference kicking team number 23 15 yard penalty first down he almost times this up perfectly but just before the ball gets there he contacts steveon sound robinson a guy might have run down there once or twice no no no no that was the one special team i was never on one team i don't want me anywhere near that all the the other three i was on that one kept me on the sideline all right here's connor virginia tech operating with two timeouts another three to go and he got knocked down on the play with the weather conditions and the way braxton burmeister's been banged up a couple of times i would not be surprised if this is connor blockbridge drive and you're just going to say hey look we got to do this we got to do this one on the ground taking on robinson we've not seen return to the game it is pouring out there [Applause] here's bloomberg on the keeper and he'll be a yard shot of the first down at the 46. man it's coming now he absolutely is and by the way sir you're gonna need a bag of rice for that phone if you're not careful you you expect that to work here's glomeric you'll get the first down as we go inside in two minutes all right so what's the adjustment that miami makes while plumrick's in the game [Music] absolute torrential downpour you've [Applause] it's been kind of like a delayed blitz and that time ryan regoni just read the play yeah he did and it i think the question needs to be asked if your virginia tech thinks we're going so well with warwick in the game at least continue to do that a little bit longer it almost becomes predictable when you put him when you put braxton burmeister in the football game you saw rigoni come off the edge though you were ryan i think he was reading what was going on in the backfield the action and we saw saw the opening he took off he's got a quarterback tackle for loss and a sack in this first half i believe we're going right there jeff simpson and the reason the reason that i think you question going to the past there for virginia tech is with with the with the rain and the weather the way it is you're just looking for positive place or at least not negative plates correct because now you have to throw the football in order to get this back are you really counting on in this weather being able to throw the ball down the field so now second and 18. burmeister with blackshear in the back here and now miami just cutting it loose and burmeister flips it and here's raheem black's here and he'll be tackled or pushed out of bounds into the mighty venturi no flag there and the clock stops for third down chase smith is the guy that helped him out of bounds freshman from palm bay florida who's looks like might have been shaken up on the play a little bit it's a really nice play though by burmeister to invade pressure and double teams running down [Applause] dooley is the tight end in motion 89 i saw he looked like he was going to get a corner blitz from marcus clark down here now he's going to play off burmeister still looking and we'll throw it out of bounds and he got hit by couch he has been beat up tonight but roddy that's kind of the story of his season that's it that's a really good point i mean they he's having to run the ball so much he's been banged up baton that was one of those situations on the check for me where after the initial clap for miami looked like they were gonna show pressure they end up dropping eight you try and roll out restricts the field there's nowhere to go with the football right here's moore to punt it away george stands at the 10. and we'll let it go and well into the inside so knowing miami gets the ball to start the second half in 71 seconds left how aggressive do you think that brain trust wants to be here 100 percent aggressive i mean the way the offenses perform the weather maybe maybe mother nature is a little bit of a miami fan right now because the weather has lightened up from miami getting the football in a second you've got three timeouts we're up here dry as a bone you're calling the if taylor taylor may be the one to confirm whether or not it's actually let up or not well i mean we can see it i mean i can see it's not raining it's hard it's still wet yeah can't confirm that heck of a performance over van dyke in this first half no no two ways about that 11 to 15 235 and two touchdowns gonna be content to take it to the locker room and you know what maybe that play that jermaine waller missed a second ago maybe that looms large in the head of manny diaz your quarterback you just saw a ball go through the hands of a defensive back that could scare a head coach away from from punching the gas you got three time out 71 seconds i thought yeah you know why not at least try and pop a run hey virginia tech's going to have the ball 10 more minutes than miami in this first half and be trailing by 15 points it's not about how long you have but we don't keep score with that score how many times you put in the end zone miami has done it quickly and that'll do it that'll take the team to the locker room here at hard rock well mccain scored four touchdowns in their first five possessions and tyler van dyke sensational in the opening 30 minutes of play winner gets bowl eligibility j.c price brings this football team that he was tasked with roddy it's a lot of passing and some rushing for virginia tech principally the quarterback run yeah it has been we've seen a mixture of braxton burmeister and connor blumrick the rush yards for miami though negative three in that first half but look let's be honest the running has been an afterthought to what they've been able to do down the field tyler van dyke will get the ball first here in the second half has been tremendous for manny diaz and offensive coordinator rhett lashley i think restrepo wants a crack at this and takes it from the gold mine xavier towards the corner and he will get toward the 25 and that's where miami sets up shop taylor well guys i spoke with interim head coach j.c price coming out of the locker room at halftime i asked him his takeaways from the first half and they were all defensive he said braxton burmeister is finding his rhythm we want to continue that but defensively we have to tackle especially on these miami chunk plays he said we're giving them momentum he also said we have to eliminate missed assignments there's been several of those now guys i did ask for an update on wide receiver trey turner he said he is fine they x-rayed him all as well but he did say they will be precautious he didn't say his availability for the second half but he reiterated we will be precautious all right thank you and here is jaylen knight on first down for a yard he's kind of into a scrub to be honest with you on the first snap trey turner had a sensational touchdown catch and then had an upper body injury of some sort of another great catch later in the night yeah and you know that it goes back a few games that upper body injury that had them concerned about a bubble that was in his upper respiratory area that needed to dissipate so anytime you have one of those hard hits after digging the ground certainly are going to beat the causes here's van dyke flipping it a little flat pass and this will be close to a first down and should be a first down chamari connor knocked him over dax holifield had an opportunity at jalen knighton and because of the rain that we've seen looks like it's made it a pretty slippery track we've seen a number of players slipping earlier in the game and the rain's still coming down lightly but enough to keep the grass wet so here is van dyke and mccains with a fresh set of downs just inside their own 35 quick throw that catches rambo who got off to it fleury early big 39-yard catch set up the first score connor again the stop for the hokies your virginia tech the adjustment in the second half j.c price mentioned tackling the taylor but if i'm the defensive staff you're forcing miami to throw underneath passes and to beat you running the football no more of these chunk plays over your head throwing the flat this is mike harley and he got taken down by waller roddy this is a heck of a play by a guy who has had a really good season for virginia town yeah he has jermaine waller has been one of the top defensive backs one of the top corners in the conference defeats the block of charleston rambo is able to tackle mike harley and it is uh it's coming down yep the rain has resumed here on this opening possession here we were before the game you might avoid it yeah pocket weather van dyke under duress cuts it loose i think rambo was the intended target but goodness jalen griffin the defensive end from rome was in the neighborhood pressuring van dyke here yeah the pressure causes this one you're going to see it come from the top of the screen the three comes right through lorell pollard you got griffin joining him there but the pressure up the middle doesn't allow tyler van dyke the time to throw the ball down the field they wrap up the football on to the field comes clay james to snap it to lou henry really going to drive this one across the field from right to left and it will be touched up around the 22 yard and maybe kind of slapped at it in that neighborhood and that's where virginia tech would go back to work just the uh that's the third straight possession roddy miami who had the four touchdowns to start the game with punt and two snaps to end the first half and now five plays in a punt here to start the second half but the hokies have to take advantage and here's burma and that's the key the hokies have to take advantage they're dealing with the same adverse weather conditions that may have slowed this miami offense some but certainly that defense playing better not allowing the chunk plays early in drives that we've seen when miami's gotten going blackshear the running back saw caleb smith come by here to the near side there's robinson in motion he'll get it on the sweep tabion looking for a scene around the edge and he will pick up six to the 28. marcus clark got an rm in there the freshman from winter park he's one of a handful of guys there there was a number put out there today that miami roddy has played better than 2 000 snaps with true freshman this year on the field well it's been the number of freshmen and the amounts that they've played here loose miami's recovered in zach mccloud got in there to knock it away from braxton burmeister and i think marcus clark is falling on it zach mccloud does such a good job here not only defeating the block but you see that second arm that left arm come around once you secure you punch at the football watch this left arm punches the ball gets the ball out from burmeister and gives his team great field position talks about the defense for virginia tech stepping up offense had to capitalize they're not able to do it now it's back on the defense to keep them in the football game ball sits on the 20-yard line in virginia tech territory for van dyke it's an all-weather turnover clark puts the jewelry on and again tonight and he will hit about a five yard gain off the left side before the hokies arrive jalen knighton comes into the ball game tonight's just his seventh game nearly 500 yards of rushing averaging about 82 yards a game he's got two touchdowns tonight to give him seven on the year he's got two mouthpieces too you see the black one in and then the white one hey he's got a backup there now you're gonna have to tell me what that's about i got no idea i mean you can't use both of them so taylor davis investigative reporter why does jaylen knight have two mouthpieces here is knight and he will get down to about the 12 maybe the 13. still going to be about three shy on third down and kane to just three out of five on third down didn't have any third downs in that four possession flurry that started the game no they didn't they didn't need third downs [Applause] there's a quick toss knight trying to turn the corner hollyfield got him and dropped it good play by docs talked about the depth issues at the running back position for miami they lost don cheney early let's take a look at the snap they've lost don chaney as well as cameron harris tyler van dyke really bob without a chest pass to jail tonight thumbs down very good chess match is that the key there that's erica and here's boragalus to try a 30-yard field goal i always wonder about these shotgun teams going under center in rainy conditions headley will hold and the try is away by borgelis and perfect timeout on the field just better than five minutes gone here in this third period miami tossed buffalo sauce hot honey flipped boneless stepped buffalo dazzled hot honey five dollars well the next update of the college football playoff is tuesday night right now it's a 31-13 lead from miami andres borgalis field goal to 30 yards get the scoring underway here in the second half and the beat goes on as the rain keeps coming [Applause] will hammer this one there'll be no return and the hokies will scrimmage from their 25-yard line so the fumble that was recovered by clark creates a field goal and now the hokies go back to work here really nice stop by the virginia tech defense after the sudden change now virginia tech can you can you find anything offensively in the rain you know the the drives that they've had had great catches down the field not a little less likely so conor blumrick the transfer from texas a m is coming and he's going to keep it to the right side and push it across the 35 and a first down to the 37 before corey flagg makes the stop a couple of really nice blocks including one by malachi thomas for running back down the field that's really been some of their best offense all day certainly the most consistent without the acrobatic catches by trey turner jalen jones in particular [Music] so first down in ten for blumrick who appears tonight for the fourth time remember he got injured in the notre dame game and back on october the 9th and it was expected to be somewhere in the neighborhood of six weeks and that's about right we draw the timeline on his return to action they've used him wisely here tonight and here is malachi thomas so back-to-back runs roddy of basically 12 yards for virginia tech to start the possession yeah miami sent a blitz from the edge virginia tech able to take advantage of it creating that crease in the middle and malachi thomas just on an inside zone it's a nice block my big number 60 silas janzi there in left guard that springs malachi thomas so ball out near the 48 yard line bloomberg's got a little bit of momentum going here in the ground game [Applause] gotta think they're just trying to figure out which run they're gonna go through [Applause] and he will keep it again after faking the sweep and here's bloomberg open field 25-20 connor takes on a man at the 10. it'll be first and goal for virginia tech [Applause] that offensive line virginia tech it's a power read he's reading the outside man on the line of scrimmage able to get through the line and then it's in the open field he gets a block and a lot of excitement out of connor bloomberg big number four is giving him a spark and he runs for 44 and it's first and goal at the eight oh popo thank you moses welcome to center now with the wet ball yeah and thomas and the freshman can't get much going there by the way blumrix over 100 yards now on 10 carries in the ball game and you saw malachi thomas get stopped after just a marginal gain maybe back to the line and not much more and here's raheem blacks here to fill his spot [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] big hit and that's carter amari carter a senior from riviera beach in his final home game and making his 26 start here tonight the thing that you get down near the goal line that you don't get in the open field with runs like that quarterback sweeps the outside you don't typically get the safeties involved that quick and certainly not the guys on the back side but when the field is constricted it's so much harder to get these things going now what do you go with with connor bloomberg in the game third and goal you throw it right i don't think you do i think you you try and find your best run maybe get some action going across the formation get bloomberg going north and south here is bloomberg looping for the end zone and it is pulled in for the touchdown caleb smith [Applause] wes it has not been a high volume day for these virginia tech receivers but they have made an impact this is a great catch by caleb smith who lets the defender run by positions himself almost like a basketball player going up for a rebound the box out skies up brings it down with two hands he said you shouldn't throw it warm rick shows it when he does he can be effective how about that caleb smith on the back end his second touchdown catch of the year and nary a glove to help [Music] [Music] 3120 our score here in south florida acc network primetime football presented tonight by geico fun to spend saturday night in south florida with roddy jones taylor davis is uh dodging raindrops she may be having a little less fun that's that would probably be right adam coppinger our producer nick young our director and our great crew great to have you with us tonight ball game's been interesting miami's fast start is literally the difference right now roddy because virginia tech is kind of hung around and they've gotten great play from bloomberg and braxton burmeister yeah that offensive line on the last one little shenanigans the ball is low still chasing it the hokies go for the onside kick and they've got it at the miami 41. how about jc price the interim head coach dials it up james shebas is the special teams coach and the hokies recover the onside kick and honestly jc price told us i'm going to let my coordinators coordinate that means justin hamilton on defense on often brad cornelson and shebas dials it up miami has a chance but a wet ball and starts going bouncing around and virginia tech comes up with it what a job by them on special team stealing a possession from miami keandre ko looks like he's the guy that recovered the onside kick at the miami 41. [Applause] is the quarterback with malachi thomas connor going to dump it to lofton here on the near side and he will not make it back to the line of scrimmage i'm not quite sure that might have been lateral may have been conor blumrick missed the shot down the field though he had caleb smith on the post they faked fake the screen pass looking to take a shot down the field plumber came off it a little too quick lofton lost two a score here and it's gonna get really interesting here's bloomberg and he will crash to the original line of scrimmage jafari harvey made the tackle when you see big number one silvera step out of the stack too all right what do you go with here through virginia tech to take advantage of this momentum that you've got after the surprise on side stopping one brick throw the ball down the field jump ball to caleb smith smith's going to be singled up to the bottom so i've not seen trey turner into the game davion robinson in the slot he's got to be your guy right here's bloomberg here's robinson trying to fight back up the middle he'll get tackled at the 37. gilbert fryerson some pursuit from the defensive line as well jc price the decision to make here do you go for it so leaving the offense on the field i actually think you punch them all the way your defense is playing well you have an opportunity to flip the field although that honor peter moore has kind of been putting through the back of the end zone so the difference in position may not be all that much virginia tech he's 101st nationally on fourth down they're five for 12. looks like an anime coverage on the backhand pressure coming bluntler going to take the shot downfield and it is caught lofton holds on to it inside the 10. jafar williams the receivers coach from virginia tech has to be fired up about what his guys have done you talk about helping out your quarterback it's a great throw by plumbrick they caught miami with too many middle on the field too and he will crash inside to the 5. it is just the third catch of the year for the freshman from fort worth texas dewine lofton look you and pack do a little think on wru on mondays you can just run the highlights of virginia tech players from this game it's been incredible the catches that they've made we've seen jalen jones get on the action caleb smith trey turner and now dwayne lofton so the grab by lofton just his third catch of the year second and goal at the five all this after the onside kick the snap is low the whistles blow and more sliding tackle it's a yellow west in front of smith false start offense everybody except the snapper five yard penalty second down love that one but watch watch the watch that's the slide tackle off the edge right that's a late challenge i'll get you a yellow across the pond it's an immediate booking quick going to the to the pocket on that one yeah so blackshear has come in hokies are backed up near the tent you know connor bloomberg is going to have to make some plays down the field with his arm and in inclement weather he's done an excellent job especially in the second half of doing that [Applause] clock down to two one they getting snapped here goes blubber cuts back at the five and pulled down at the four and perhaps a touchdown saving tackle from jordan miller coming from the backside just barely able to get his arms around hunter blumrick's legs it's still a good enough gain to get you just barely inside the five-yard line it looks like what do you like here you're in two down territory you've already keep going i keep going back to the quarterback run but it seems like every time i do they throw it down the field and you have a circus catch thomas's return to the game he's in the backfield you've got caleb smith plenty of room to come to the outside down to the bottom here goes blumrik pushing right going to throw back on touchdown virginia tech lofton on the back end of two great grabs this one for the score well the wet field plays into it for miami watch as they try and sort these routes out get a little slip on the outside looked like that was marcus clark who's supposed to drive on that route to dwayne lofton it's a good pitching catch for blunrick offense staying on the field it looks like for virginia tech trying to make this a three-point deficit the card says down five go for two j.c price is going by the car here she is that's thomas flexing out to the right here's blumert going to flip the end zone and misfires looking for smith at 6-2 who caught the touchdown pass earlier in the quarter but nonetheless the onside kick riding pays off for jc price certainly does jc price dials up the surprise on side that carobs around a little bit the kickoff team jumps on it and then connor blood brings through the air to dwayne lofton the true freshman brings them within a score [Music] with a little beamer ball on the on-side kick resulted in a touchdown now the hokies will kick it away in the cage slip down for the turf is really becoming an issue as uh as the night wears on don't forget we got basketball for you coming up wednesday night seven o'clock it follows a volleyball quadruple header and then florida state boston university at seven o'clock as part of the jacksonville classic and then scottie pippen and vanderbilt take on john huley and the pit panthers finishing off the day so a quadruple two volleyball and two basketball for you right here on acc network you know wes it's interesting you said obviously when you when you get special teams plays in virginia tech you think beamer ball frank bieber saw this team off there's van dyke throwing on first down he's being flushed out of the pocket by jalen griffin along with hollifield j.c price told us that frank beamer saw this team off when they left blacksburg and we were chatting with him before the game he mentioned just a number of people who really embody virginia tech he said look if virginia tech's not frank beamer if it's not these other guys that have been around the program then what is it right beamer ball coming in huge yep van dyke on second in the full 10. wants to cut it loose and deflected and almost caught on the back end by rambo [Applause] ruling complete it looked like jamari connor was getting ready to deliver an interception and rambo almost still made a great catch the second time virginia tech had an interception going through their hands this time jabari connor would have made would have had to make an acrobatic catch not quite able to haul it in but this miami offense virginia tech prevented the big plays miami still tried to take him but it's put him behind the sticks last four drives only 16 yards here's van dyke and he'll gun it to rambo and that's a first down that's their best play ronnie offensively and probably four possessions yeah i would agree with that i mean tyler van dyke shows a lot of poise has time in the pocket rambo just finds a little soft spot in the zone and look at that the first four drives 260 yards four touchdowns last three 16 yards this virginia tech defense has done an excellent job of settling down especially after the fumble early in the half this third quarter's moved along but this game feels like it's got a lot left in it oh yes it does van dyke little double reversal here is van dyke flags down they'll throw from mallory who makes another great catch and breaks away now remember markers down as mallory steps away and scores [Applause] the penalty is on miami and it will negate a 72-yard touchdown throw from van dyke to tight end will mallory if i'm not mistaken it's the same play that will mallory scored on against pitt you get the handoff the reverse the restrepo and then dan dyke throwing it down the same sideline to will mallory they're able to hit it but the hold brings it back for rhett lashley the offensive coordinator of the kane's completely fired up let's look and see if we can find it oh it's on the left tackle nelson yeah it's a great run after the catch by will mallory though sure is so here's knight and a little sprint draw toward the 25 yard line takes us into the final minute of the third hollow field and artists make the tackle for virginia tech who has battled their way back outscoring miami 13-3 here in this second half to cut it to a five-point game [Applause] second down at 15. tyler van dyke started this game and he was electric now trying to flip the switch if you will back inside jacoby george and we'll get to the 30 and that will likely be the final play of the third so we'll flip ends and here in south florida go to the last 15. big thing there virginia tech stopping miami after the fumble keeping him to three allowing them to get back into this game otherwise holding miami out of the end zone this virginia deck defense win babcock looking on tonight here at hard rock stadium who made the change with justin fuente on tuesday ronnie and at the time of the announcement tuesday afternoon thumbs up from whit he presented a considerable list of things he was looking for in the next head coach at virginia tech he's got like the effort of the spirit you've seen from jc price as his interim head coach tonight as tyler van dyke begins the fourth with a pass from mallory just short the first down looks like from that angle would touch the ground he's leaving its offense on the field oh boy this is an interesting one because you're in your own territory it's a long one you're gonna hand the ball to knight and he's hit right at the line and turn back and it's gonna depend on the spot keyshot artist who's been a terror tonight at the linebacking spot looked to be one of the first guys in the maroon helmet there he's absolutely going to depend on the spot interesting miami's had zero success running the football today 10 yards rushing so far deciding to go with the handoff nice job by amari barno he got a pretty smart connor yeah it did look like he got a very thick very good spot i think he's going to have it based on the spot but wayne hey brings him from the far side to see if they review this if he does indeed i mean not by much third of the ball [Applause] let's watch where he's hit i mean look he's hitting behind the 30 he's hit way behind behind the uh what's at the 38 yard way behind and he doesn't go forward anymore so this this needs to be reviewed the ruling on the field is a first down the previous play is under further review typically without the shot right down the line it's tough to see what well dwayne hates going to take a look we'll come back see what we have after this [Music] fuel your grind with 18 including older to order all right so the line to gain is the 38 yard line right here and i know my line isn't official nor is it particularly straight but i this is clear he does not reach the line to gain i think there is plenty in this replay to overturn it move it back a half yard and it would be a turnover on downs for miami the play on the field stood but wes these are the ones that really get me because you see the replay and you have the ability to look at it in slow motion he doesn't go forward after he's contacted at the 37 yard line so you have to overturn that i don't understand how it doesn't get overturned i really don't connor makes a stop on nightin on the first down play that is a five-yard game for night and it's a five-point game we're a minute into the final period in a game where it looked like miami was going to take virginia out back here in the first quarter and virginia tech's defense has responded in the second half including on that fourth down a very favorable spot in my opinion a questionable stance call has miami with some momentum virginia tech's defense once again has to battle the person here comes the pressure van dyke trying to escape the puck and he will just throw it out of bounds before norell pollard can get there the big defensive lineman who was chasing tyler van dyke to the bench well this has been quite a ball game miami led 21-3 before braxton burmeister threw a second quarter touchdown pass on a sensational catch by trey turner yeah and then van dyke threw to richard smith 75 yards it was just a flirt most of it belonging to miami in the half but here in the second half the hokies have scrapped back here's van dyke put it in the air from mallory broken up incomplete the seer people virginia tech's leading tackler in coverage and once again i don't think you can give enough credit to what this team has done on the defensive side of the ball this is a team that's gone through adversity all week your coaches dismissed on tuesday of this week wes after they had the meeting with whit babcock they had to go out to practice and practice to get ready for this miami team miami came out throwing haymakers big plays down the field j.c price and his crew steadied the ship and now they're going to get the ball back with an opportunity to go ahead mainly because of what this defense has done lou headley the aussie hangs it high and robinson tried to field it at the 15 and right there were the canes defensively to corey couch covered the punt nicely acc network college football prime time is presented by geico save even more when you bundle home and car insurance [Music] well 23 miami seniors were recognized pregame here tonight on senior night and head coach manny diaz said we may not be making the trip to charlotte this year for a conference title but when this program gets there this senior class will have had a part on it he said they are all leaving their position rooms better than when they found it he said a lot of these guys could have gone to the league but they chose to come back for this year they've thought through every bit of adversity and they've all really enjoyed this final game here tonight even in spite of the ring guns well and now it's one they're gonna have to earn ronnie yeah it certainly is kind of got them on their heels takes off silvera scoops him up and drops him at the 17-yard line you know what i want to touch on something that the taylor relay that manny diaz told her about guys not going to the league you look at the last five or so years there's a lot of guys that had eligibility left for miami that decided to go to the league that were third day picks fourth through seventh round and the guys that decided to come back after 2020 manny diaz is certainly hoping that that the example that they said becomes the norm where if you're not a first round pick first round big second round big goat if you're not come back for another year and improve this program that's part of changing the culture of this miami team yep and for whatever it means in the recruiting circles another expected class a good class it's a small class right now right [Applause] and as we said at the top the parting of ways between the university and blake james an outstanding athletic administrator on monday just ramped back up to speculation about the future of matty diaz as the head football coaches but there were some other lines of thinking as well here is blubrick and he will be sacked he dodged the first threat from mccloud but could not get away from the second threat and that was jordan miller and then harrison hunt also fouled in there big 81 on the play zach mccloud coming off the edge is the one that creates this one of those guys that walked on senior day one of those guys that admit so much to manny diaz mandy diaz was in that position when he was a linebacker as a true freshman and you can tell just over the years how much zach mccloud has meant to this program he's the one that forces him up and causes the sound so hang it high for george back at the 41 tries to get started marker down on the block in the back against the kings [Music] and we get a huddle at the 37 at the hokies into the field flag in the backfield as well yeah yeah i think you can get him you're certainly going to get a flag there during the return there are two fouls by the receiving team holding number nine that penalty is declined illegal block in the back number 37 that penalty will be accepted and enforced on the spot of the foul first down kind of had him turned around there a little bit that was the block in the back that's avery huff here's tonight's geico player spotlight correction there we go we had it for you tyler van dyke's our geico player spotlight roddy and should be yeah he's been fantastic most of that done most of that damage done in the first half i shouldn't just tyler band get it going here in the second half much different feel to this game after halftime [Applause] the the ability to open the field up and then have the guy slip up field for about five maybe well he's starting to slide after three so it'll be second to seven enough well you're the one to tell me he's got the straight line speed manny diaz used that term with us earlier in the year he does i mean excellent straight line speed that time he was going in a straight line indeed he was for three yards second and seven it's a two by two look for the poker really starting to throttle up the pressure van dyke escapes first down slides again at the so that'll be plenty there on a pickup of right at 10 in the first down yeah they're about third gear here even at the rim but up at all it's great coverage on the back end by virginia tech but the pressure gets a little above tyler van dyke and andrew hokey in the background looks like we'll step aside a break in the action in miami i chose smile direct club for my daughter when her adult teeth grew in my plane head coach pat narduzzi stops by after dark it's not gonna be at 10 30. not gonna be 10 30. sorry boys boys it's not ever at 10 30. we'll keep promising 10 30 but it won't be tonight those guys are great oh man it's the best one they've been there all day and they're ready to roll here's van dyke looping for rambo just beyond his reach hokies had dorian strong in coverage and he was following rambo all the way across the field and now second and ten i would have taken a really good throw to complete that one dorian strong right on the back of charleston rambo but in the in the defensive backfield and keonta jenkins falling down really slick back there so if you're miami and you want to take these shots or virginia tech for that matter the double moves making these defensive backs make those quick adjustments might be the way to go van dyke on a straight drop here gonna crank it deep and that is [Applause] it's been tough sledding for this defense but you get a two on one on the safety you're asking dax holifield to carry mike harley up the middle of the field to help out that cover two safety and kiante jenkins tyler van dyke shows that he can put it on the money absolutely great so gorgalas the touchdown or the kick following the 55-yard strike tyler van dyke to mike harley and the uh the beat for the canes continues here in the fourth quarter yeah well like i said it depends on sledding this virginia tech defense has done such a good job of setting the ship particularly in quick change situations after the fumble after the the fourth down that that virginia tech wasn't able to hold miami but miami exploding showing just how dangerous they could be once again they are always capable of that type of explosion well jc price is delivered against you know some odds getting the job on tuesday tonight his team played with that grit the effort the intensity the pride that he expected he's gonna they're gonna need it now now you're in a situation where miami's been able to extend the lead so how can you find that stop that score and then another play down the field they've had the ball in their hands a couple of times on defense haven't been able to come up with the crucial interception so can this jc price team this virginia tech team that's gone through so much adversity can they find it here as we get late in the fourth quarter so mike harley's 55-yard touchdown moves him into second all-time in catches in miami [Applause] that's history you come back as a senior to have your name etched at the top of these records hokies will start from their 25 taylor well guys as we're seeing another great showing from quarterback tyler van dyke tonight i talked to him this week and i think i lost count of the amount of times he said the word confident but he knows how key that is in this role he now has for this miami program and he said it goes back to the second half of the unc game that was really when things clicked for him he also attributes a lot of it to his relationship with offensive coordinator rhett lashley the two spend a lot of time together on the sideline throughout the week and game prep i've seen their communication here tonight and it really seems like it's been pivotal in his bro [Music] he'll turn the corner in one hit wow keiondre smith almost turned bloomberg's lights out roddy yeah an absolute blow delivered by smith like a good hard legal hit and it looks like this is conor mcluhan's game down the stretch sure does we saw burmeister hobbling early in the second half and here's malachi thomas fryerson might have saved the big run there as thomas stretches it out to the 38-yard line say what if i'm virginia tech i'm living with with stuff like that inside zone power reads these plays that they've had a lot of success with against this miami defense it's mainly come up the middle [Applause] first down and 10 at the 38. [Music] here's bloomberg and he'll be sacked there's a flag down on the plate johnson the tennessee transfer drops him holding offense number 68 that penalty is declined second down [Applause] all right so you're going to get number 68 right here he's going to have to block 13 deandre johnson off the edge see him kind of grab johnson around the neck doesn't matter tennessee transfer fights through tackles counter blood break that's a heck of a sack right there by the way miami nine tackles behind the line tonight they were seventh in the nation coming in averaging seven a game [Applause] about a quick throw and ops for the keep and we'll get maybe a yard kiandra smith to stop as ronnie jones likes to say a lot of guys after this game are going to need a cold tub and a hug colton hook mean [Music] [Applause] [Applause] intended for smith i believe at the bench incomplete no flag right so you see this all the time the center is in charge of snapping the football if he thinks that the defense jumps when miami flinches you're going to see the flinch off the edge but no one comes across the line of scrimmage so you get the snap by johnny jordan and everything's just through bar at that point so you got to throw the ball away well remember johnny jordan is filling the spot of brock hoffman who was questionable coming into the ball game george will take the punt from moore and jacoby george will have high step at the 15. keeps his feet 35 40 into the 41 and now miami has regained their stride if you will roddy in terms of big plays in the contest we they've got the momentum and the football up by a dozen it's the season of giving so stay tuned and find out how you can get two stick window candles firmly in place secure your holiday rugs in place without damage to floors hang this heavy wreath in a flash no miami's gonna have the ball and it's 42 as we rejoin you from the hard rock tonight in south florida cody brown has come in the game freshman from parkview high school in middlebury georgia who's got 100 yards on 27 carries and three touchdowns this season van dyke quick throw and was looking for romelo brenson who had a circus catch earlier in the year freshman from northwestern high school here in miami good break by armani chapman break that thing up well manny diaz said great energy and protect the football were the keys to the game they've delivered on the energy and the protecting the football but there have been a couple that put that in danger there certainly happened and virginia tech just hasn't been able to take advantage in games like this you have to one of them's gonna be pick six and dyke with pressure coming another throw for rambo and he almost caught it with waller defending and three flags at the back end of the play and jermaine waller hobbling here and i hope that's a cramp pass interference defense number two 15-yard penalty first down [Applause] yeah you can see i mean it's pretty clear at the end of the play as jermaine waller goes by grabs across the ramble may have started even before that yeah so waller will go out they're going to get chapman with strong being two corners now right chapman he rotates in he plays a decent amount dorian strong certainly one of the starters so it's not like you've got guys haven't played but missing jermaine waller certainly a big loss 36th game of chapman's career here's van dyke after the penalty he's going to cut it loose for brenson and overthrows did romello lose that in flight as he was trying to cut the edge against chapman yeah it looked a little strange he cut it a little less steep than tyler van dyke through at time of van dyke threw it more up the field he's cutting more across the field but the the reaction to the throw was laid so it did look like one of those that maybe he had a hard time picking up out of the hand of his quarterback van dyke is having a heck of a night 3 27 he's over 300 again and that ball dropped on the perimeter by george remember now when we talk about tyler van dyke we're talking about one of four quarterbacks in acc history with 300 yards and three touchdowns in three straight acc games and that list is tyler van dyke russell wilson jameis winston and sam howell that's the list yeah and now he's got in what five yeah four straight games of 300 coming into this one and now now fifth yeah by the way three touchdowns tonight yeah he's got a big third down here should be a massive stop for virginia pressure coming hokey's coming from everywhere van dyke hit as he throws he had to cut it loose because amari barna roddy was dropping the hammer well justin hamilton the defensive coordinator for virginia tech dialed up the pressure bringing one more that miami could block running backs out in the backfield so it's six on five marno punishing van dyke virginia tech's defense comes up with the stop it needs you're down it doesn't but that's the first step in getting into getting back into this ball game blue headly for tavion robinson and hedley going to hang it high end over in robinson a fair catch call for and made at the eight well about halfway through quarter four let's take a look at our bojangles big bow moment of the game a lot of them big big plays this one down the field to bashar smith tyler van dyke just slinging it down the field mike harley got in on the action very recently that went in the second half fifth straight game 300 past yards three touchdowns 327 on the day again we've said it over and over but the ability to strike quick for this miami offense has really been the game changer when they haven't been able to do that they've struggled consistently but luckily for them they have been able to do it for this black sheer picking up about four on first down by the way wes did you remember that thing i said earlier about mother nature being on miami side miami just punted that ball away and it is pouring it was not raining on third down on fourth down it's poor you are hardly the one qualified to answer this and talk about rain tonight with the work that taylor davis has put in here is blumrik first down beyond the 20 to the 24. tyler would you like to comment on the queuing of the rain when virginia tech took the football i just love when you guys comment on the weather from the cozy booth up there you know i have changed shoes i have yeah man i gotta protect them you know what i mean so i swapped them i'm committed to a ponytail i mean we're just we're fighting the elements down here but you guys enjoy your uh snacks up there you know [Music] the ball it was a downpour every time virginia got it happens man somebody in the stadium has the button that they press that came in 2009 remembered for a couple things here is uh and a little juggled and dropped by caleb smith the online georgia tech virginia game was played in a full downpour by the way and anthony allen ran up a bunny hill after a touchdown capping an 18-play drive and the acc player of the year jonathan dwyer stiff arms well you can see how the wet ball is affecting catching the football i mean that's a catch caleb smith skied over two defenders earlier to catch a football but that one the ball's so wet his hand's so wet not even bring it [Applause] i think it was intended for smith robinson was also kind of in that area but it was well overthrown with both players yeah no whoever it was intended for broke off the round connor bloomberg expected him to go deep but again the pressure is what really forced the miscommunication so jacoby george will wait on another punt here from peter [Music] moore that ball will bounce george will let it hit and it will be touched up right around the 25-yard line well our congratulations tonight for pat garduzzi and pittsburgh they have clinched the coastal division meanwhile roddy we've got some math in the uh in atlantic there's no map for wake forest winning you're in lose and you're probably not in because if you get here's here's how it works out if you were to get a wake forest win obviously there in nc state they need to win against north carolina next week and then wake forest lose and clemson obviously it's both of them so if wake forest loses nc state wins we've gotten confirmation from the league office that the tiebreaker would then go to nc state based on first the division records the records in division that would eliminate wake forest from the race right because in division they would have two losses and then the head-to-head nc state beats clemson nc state's in the championship game everybody's alive for those three going into into the last weekend about that huh finally the atlantic coastal's got it all wrapped up early in week 12. yeah so there you have it and again congratulations to pittsburgh yeah what a performance by then today it was a great game that played against virginia brennan armstrong cutting performance as well coming off the rib injury yep sure was heck of a day for george addison too here's charleston rambo having a heck of a night an over-the-shoulder catch against dorian strong for rambo it is difficult to look up into the raindrops track the football and not only does charleston rambo does do that got away with a little bit of a shove on the defensive back not called fades away from the defender and makes the catch seven catches 116 tonight for rambo [Applause] what a year he's had here and a slow start to roddy look charleston rambo if you were to give out if you were to have given out half or mid season all acc awards i don't think charleston rambo is a first-team all-acc receiver he's played himself into that in the second half of the year and the carry for franklin and manny diaz said that charleston rambo is the guy who personifies the emergence of their offense i would go van dyke and rambo but betty diaz says you get a guy like rambo who came in here as accomplished as he did from oklahoma that guy's delivered the goods for us yeah and i think we just assume that these guys are going to come in they're going to fit in perfectly from day one and make the type of impact this is an offense that remember at the beginning of the year derrick king was coming off of the knee injury right got banged up in the first game trying to figure out who they were going to be at multiple positions including at receiver where charleston rambo just got more and more comfortable not only with this offense but with his quarterback as well only throwing that they really did going into fall camp was in off sessions here king didn't participate in spring that's tyler van taking those reps and that really helped van dyke and and rambo's uh their their chemistry ronnie what about the week for manny diaz i mean blake james has let go on bundy uh that just re-starts some of the conversation about his tenure here everybody in south florida has an opinion on that one that's correct and i don't think there's a fan base that that is more vocal with how they feel on either side than this miami fan base in the acc his ability to steady his team his team's ability to block out the noise because they heard it and you have no choice but to it's been impressive here today second and seventh the injured player was keyshot artist by the way with virginia tech and blakelock winding down and so is this fourth quarter clock and miami gonna work on that a little bit here yeah you're now in four-minute offense territory yep you're second down you're kind of getting to that four minute mark draining clock virginia tech needs two possessions that's harley in motion van dyke and hands to franklin and he'll turn the corner he's short he is short of the first down by about a yard chaplin to stop taylor i imagine the cage are pretty happy they sure are but guys you know what i really have to give credit to both of these teams down here on both sidelines throughout the game the energy has been there consistently the communication hyping each other up dancing at the start of the fourth quarter i mean when you think about what both of these teams have had to handle coming into this week knowing bowl eligibility was on the line with with this game i'm just really impressed with the response that i've seen from both teams throughout tonight yeah well it speaks to a little bit of the journey here's franklin he'll get the first down and inside the 35 before he's thrown back taiwan carbon led to tackle parade for virginia tech before that carry excuse me now 36 yards rushing on the ground but let me tell you the next 10 are the most important you just want to end up with at least 46 at the end of the night because that'd be able to put the game away virginia tech has all three timeouts jc price electing not to use one before the first down play [Applause] so franklin stays in the backfield here and he'll get the call again there's the tackle at the 30 and now timeout is taken with 225 to play well this will be the final game in a week 12 that has seen pittsburgh clinch clemson post rodney their biggest win of the year their best offensive performance of the year by far yep 48-27 at wake forest here's a look at the schedule roddy and matt berry will be at carter finley stadium on friday night at seven o'clock for the tar heels in the wolf pack nc state a 41-17 winner uh tonight in raleigh late this afternoon devin leary by the way roddy put 303 on 17-24 today for the wolfpack after a little bit of a slow start right it took a while to get points on the board but then they absolutely exploded so the thing is if you're wake forest you're rooting for an nc state loss on friday night that clears up the picture a little bit for you you didn't need obviously a win no matter what but still syracuse has lost two straight roddy pittsburgh comes there knowing they're going to charlotte yeah yeah and look syracuse after the buy and it's been a little bit of a tough road for them the last couple of games sean tucker did have a hundred yards today on 13 carats he's been great this year sure has and here is franklin loading it up for this young freshman from west park florida well over 100 yards now in the campaign he's looked good here in closing down the show ahead of uh two minutes to go now it's the fun time of the broadcast we get to do the clock match well and here's the other part i want to add this as you see franklin pick up the first down j.c price will go from this game to the commonwealth cop next week and remember this about the commonwealth cup virginia tech has won 16 of 17 and 20 of the last 22. and it'll be for bowl eligibility yes it will like it was a few years ago virginia tech went in for bowl eligibility i believe that was 19. when they had the streak and bryce perkins fumbled the ball in overtime right is that the year we're talking about no that was it 19 was a year 18 yeah it was 18 where they were going in for bowl eligibility and were able to get the win there's another timeout taken by the hokies so when you talk about the job here's the thing jc price has done everything you could have hoped as an interim head coach tonight who got the job tuesday morning from web bathtub it's been a tumultuous week i've been in those those locker rooms those meeting rooms when your head coach is dismissed and it's a it's a gut punch to the team even when like it was with justin fuente you've been wondering about it for a while those guys had to go back out to practice on tuesday jc price really had this team ready and prepared during this game they took the initial blow from miami performed well but credit to manny diaz in miami for rebounding that's the point i was going to talk about there may be no team finishing on an upward trend more than miami roddy i mean a win tonight is four of your last five and a chance to make it five of six at duke himself and look let's look at let's look at all the conference games miami has played two-point loss to virginia where you miss a field goal at the very end a three-point loss to uni to unc where you're in position to kick a game tying field goal and you have an unfortunate interception on a tipped pass then you go to florida state and the florida state loss backed up florida state as they hit a big play fourth and 14. so literally you changed three plays right in miami's conference games they could be undefeated in conference now it's in buds i get it nuts but when you when you look at what manny diaz has done with this team a team that quite honestly was in transition look at the number of freshmen that have played look at what you had to do with the quarterback position and where this roster was quite honestly from a talent standpoint it is upgraded now and there is a lot of hope for the future so look i don't know what's going to happen with manny diaz but there's a lot of people that see what i just mentioned and support him being here for the future and seeing this thing out here is uh van dyke now and franklin with one more carry and he'll be tackled close to another first down at the 11 by fuga virginia tech will be five and six playing that game next weekend and charlottesville by the way the national side oregon has lost tonight 38-7 a lot of people said it was a trouble spot for oregon i didn't think it was that much of a trouble spot although there will be some interested parties in south florida a little happier than oregon's taking one yeah in a weird way this is kind of the that manny diaz is celebrating down below with mr silvera and his seniors that's what this was about tonight too right a class that kind of took miami out of the clouds of some of the allegations and sanctions from the nevin shapiro and the ncaa stuff and this is a group that is kind of grown this program back if they want as many as they wanted to no but very few do right yeah i mean you can point to very few classes that that have the sort of aspirations that are met but i think when you look at what it means guys sliding on the field they're just having a great time this is what football is about wins and having fun and we often lose sight of what wins like this on senior day mean you know everybody remembers our senior day game i didn't win mine and it'll stick with me for the rest of my life these miami guys did that and it will stick with them certainly forever in the rain too heck of a performance tonight tvd tyler van dyke 19 of 33 357 and three more touchdown passes my goodness of a string of incredible performances for the freshman manny diaz certainly has to be happy you can see it he's with taylor and we've got a camera there let's
