For the third straight week, the Hurricanes managed to execute a fourth quarter touchdown drive and grind out a win, this time over Virginia Tech.
With Covid-19 threatening to cancel or postpone the game, Miami, with 13 unavailable players, came together and found a way to overcome an 11-point deficit with a 25-24 victory Saturday afternoon in Blacksburg, Virginia.
“We we’re on the brink,” Miami head coach Manny Diaz said after the game. “The players attitude was the most telling. They wanted to play and we were right on the brink at some position groups. It makes it hard to practice, it makes it hard to do anything.
