The Miami Hurricanes will kick off their ACC play this week, hosting the Virginia Tech Hokies on Friday night at Hard Rock Stadium. UM (4-0) is off to a strong start and aims to maintain their momentum in conference action, while Virginia Tech (2-2) is coming off a narrow loss to Rutgers.

In the latest edition of *Through The Smoke*, InsideTheU’s David Lake and Gaby Urrutia break down the upcoming game. They discuss key Virginia Tech players, Miami’s matchup against the Hokies, and important areas to watch during the game.

Momentum in college football can shift rapidly. After entering the season with high hopes, Virginia Tech is now struggling at 2-2, having lost tight games against Vanderbilt and Rutgers, and facing a formidable opponent in Miami.

The Hurricanes are in a strong position, fueled by three years of elite recruiting under head coach Mario Cristobal, including significant contributions from the transfer portal. Miami has signed 40 four-star and five-star recruits in three seasons, outpacing Virginia Tech’s total signings since 2014.

This matchup poses a considerable challenge for the Hokies, who must play a clean game, create turnovers, and manage possessions to have a chance against Miami’s potent offense. The pressure is on for Virginia Tech, as a loss could lead to a further decline in their season, especially with a tough road game against Stanford looming next week.
