The Miami Hurricanes faced off in the “Thrilla in Manila.” Ok. Maybe it wasn’t the classic fight between Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali in 1975 but watching TVD vs. Garcia was a nice snap shot of a QB battle in the future.
As vanilla as spring games can be (which habitually favors the defense) both respective freshmen quarterbacks found success. Tyler Van Duke was 12 of 17 (70.5) for 102 and one touchdown. He avoided the sack and kept his offense remarkably on schedule.
It's only a 4 yard completion needed to net a first down but not all 4 yard completions are made the same.
