The ending of Friday’s game between the Virginia Tech Hokies and Miami Hurricanes will be remembered for years. And for the ACC, that’s probably not a good thing.
The Hokies led the No. 7 Hurricanes throughout the night in a fun, high-scoring, and competitive game. If not for some coaching mishaps — we’ll get to that another time — the game may not have ended like it did.
Let’s quickly set the scene: Virginia Tech, trailing 38-34, with three seconds remaining, and quarterback Kyron Drones drops back to pass and throws the Hail Mary into the back of the end zone where several players — from both teams — waited.
