Take a look at what RJ Schaefer had to say about a potential upset for the Hokies tonight.
Be explosive
This seems too simple, but there is a method behind this madness. In the Clemson upset above, Syracuse utilized some of the best play calling of the entire 2017 season, with every touchdown drive except the first one ending in four plays or less.
How can Virginia Tech do this? It’s very simple, use the key players! How Brent Pry and his staff get Beischl Tuten open in space They have to figure out a way to get Jaylin Lane open and find a way to run the ball with Kyron Draughn. ”
Will Virginia Tech be able to contain Miami’s offense? The Hurricanes started the season with one of the best offenses in the country, but despite their talent, Virginia Tech wasn’t great on that side of the ball. Miami is explosive in the passing game, so Dorian Strong and Mansour Delaine will need solid games tonight.
Offensively, I think the Hokies should try to control the ball and keep it away from the Miami offense. The best thing about the Virginia Tech offense so far this season has been the running game, but Miami has been very good against the Miami offense. This year’s run. The Hokies may want to run the ball, but Kyron Drones will have to be able to make plays through the air at some point tonight. He has had a disappointing season so far, but will be a key player tonight.
