Rueben Bain Jr. (DL) – Dominant on the defensive front, a game-changer for Miami’s defense.
Virginia Tech Hokies
Kyron Drones (QB) – Dual-threat quarterback who will test Miami’s defense with his legs and arm.

Keys to Victory
For Miami:
Protect the quarterback and let Beck operate comfortably — exploit Virginia Tech’s secondary.
Control the line of scrimmage and establish the run game to open up play-action.
Defensively, limit big plays from VT’s dual-threat QB and force them into predictable situations.
For Virginia Tech:
Make the game one-dimensional: lean on the run (Stewart, Drones) to shorten the game and control tempo.
Disrupt Miami’s rhythm by creating turnovers and momentum-shifting plays.
Special teams and field position must tilt in their favor to compensate for talent disparity.
