MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Different opponent, different week, same story for Virginia.
And that tale is a cautionary one for Miami.
The two most dramatic finishes in college football of late — maybe all season — were Georgia Tech beating Florida State on a blocked field-goal return for a touchdown, followed seven days later by Miami’s eight-lateral, still-debated kickoff return with no time remaining to beat Duke.
Virginia handled Georgia Tech when the Jackets were on their emotional high, beating last season’s Orange Bowl champions last week. And now the Cavaliers (3-5, 2-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) get the chance to take down another emotionally charged club when they visit Miami (5-3, 2-2) on Saturday afternoon.
