So, who’s the quarterback now?
The No. 16 Miami Hurricanes came to Charlottesville on Saturday with redshirt freshman N’Kosi Perry, after two starts and a stunning comeback against nemesis Florida State, considered the young man who could bring Hurricanes football to new heights.
But it took two ugly overthrown disasters picked off by the Virginia Cavaliers in an equally ugly couple of first quarters to change the fans’ perceptions — and apparently, Miami coach Mark Richt’s as well.
In came former starter Malik Rosier, who also struggled, as Virginia upset the Hurricanes 16-13 in front of a homecoming crowd of 42,393 that rushed the field at Scott Stadium in absolute ecstasy.
