Virginia Tech Looks to Bounce Back

Virginia scored 23 points against Rutgers, but it wasn’t enough as the defense gave up 26 points. Virginia Tech outscored Rutgers 16-3 in the 4th quarter, but it wasn’t enough as they gave up three points and that was the difference.

Miami vs Virginia Tech Prediction
Virginia Tech isn’t going to put up much of a battle here. Miami has run up the score against everyone and even against Florida they scored 41 points. Miami has an elite quarterback in Cam Ward who might take home the Heisman Trophy home when it’s all said and done, and he’s going to have a huge game here. Virginia Tech is going to have no answer, and the Hurricanes will get the job done here with ease. Back Miami to win this game and cover the spread.
