The Virginia Tech Hokies [2-4] host the Miami Hurricanes [2-3] Saturday from Lane Stadium in an all-important game for both teams. Each team has new head coaches but faced far different expectations in 2022. The Hokies were expected to face growing pains in head coach Brent Pry’s first season, while many believed the ‘Canes would take off running in Mario Cristobal’s return to Coral Gables.
It hasn’t gone as planned for Miami, who have lost three games in a row, including an embarrassing 14-point home loss to Middle Tennessee State. Meanwhile, the Hokies have also lost three in a row, including a pair of blowout losses to West Virginia and North Carolina.
