The Miami football team will face one of its toughest challenges this season defending the Virginia passing offense and quarterback Brennan Armstrong. Armstrong leads the ACC in passing yards per game, is second with 13 touchdown passes and third in passer rating and completion percentage.
Only Kenny Pickett of Pittsburgh is ahead of Armstrong in the ACC QB rankings published by Brad Crawford of 247 Sports on Tuesday. D’Eriq King of Miami is ranked as the ninth-best QB in the ACC by Crawford. Virginia has four qualified receivers who are averaging over 14 yards per reception.
