The Miami Hurricanes ended their home slate on top, beating Virginia Tech 38-26 to clinch bowl eligibility in the 2021 season.
Miami honored 23 seniors before kickoff, including quarterback D’Eriq King, wide receivers Mike Harley and Charleston Rambo and defensive tackle Nesta Jade Silvera. The seniors that were healthy made plays against the Hokies, leading to a victory that was headlined with heart and passion for the program.
“It was a reward for the older guys, for the seniors,” head coach Manny Diaz said. “We’ve had guys here in the past that have chosen and they’ve not always finished what we started.
