With its back against the wall, Miami (2-4, 0-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) has a prime opportunity to turn its season around against No. 18 North Carolina State (5-1, 2-0 ACC).
The last time the Hurricanes and the Wolfpack stepped on the gridiron together, injured graduate quarterback D’Eriq King delivered one of the most remarkable performances in program history, completing 31-of-44 passes for 430 yards and five touchdowns to go along with another 105 yards on the ground.
The Canes will not have King in this season’s matchup, but redshirt freshman quarterback Tyler Van Dyke is confident that Miami’s offense will still produce similar results.
