Virginia Tech
Dalton Keene had a big game for Virginia Tech against the Miami Hurricanes. (Jon Fleming)

I had a good feel for this game with the exception of quarterback play, but that’s a minor whiff, right? And boy, is it nice to be wrong. This match was packed full of big plays and shifting tides, so let’s look at things chronologically. In general, the first half brimmed with big plays for the Hokies, and bad plays and near-misses for the Hurricanes. If the refs had been less charitable, or if a few Miami plays had gone better (I’m thinking of Brevin Jordan’s stumbling catch) it might’ve been a tight first half. Instead, Tech dominated.
