Malik Rosier is back. After spending the past two games as N’Kosi Perry’s backup, Rosier is back under center for the Miami Hurricanes’ second drive of the second quarter against the Virginia Cavaliers. The appearance is the quarterback’s first since helping Miami beat Florida International on Sept. 22.
Rosier started every game for the Hurricanes last season, guiding Miami to its first ever ACC Championship Game and an appearance in the Orange Bowl. He held onto the job in the preseason despite pressure from Perry, Cade Weldon and Jarren Williams, and started the Hurricanes’ first four games. Miami posted a 3-1 record with a season-opening loss to the LSU Tigers.
