The Hurricanes (2-3, 0-2) faced the Virginia Tech Hokies (3-2, 1-2) on Saturday in what turned out to be an exciting display of offense after a very poor first half showing.
Miami quarterback Jarren Williams started cold, throwing interceptions on three consecutive drives to start the game. The Hokies were able to capitalize and took a commanding 21-0 lead in the first quarter.
Backup quarterback N’Kosi Perry was then given the reigns and tasked with leading the Hurricanes to a seemingly impossible comeback.
“We felt like the way that Jarren started the game, that N’Kosi had a chance to come in and see if he could do something to light a spark,” said head coach Manny Diaz after the game.
