A Virginia Tech Fan's Guide to Surviving Miami

Miami is good. The Hokies are...we'll be nice and say "finding themselves". This is the comprehensive guide on how to get through the next three hours.

Congratulations!

If you're reading this, you're already preparing your mind, body and soul for whatever horrid things are going to happen to your favorite football team this Friday. And you know what they say, preparing for annihilation may not prevent it, but it might make it feel slightly less bad.

As the Virginia Tech football team heads down to Miami after a disappointing 2-2 non-conference record, I can't make you feel better about what's waiting for the Hokies down in Coral Gables. The Hurricanes are a legitimate top-10 team (for real, this time) with a QB who lives up to every bit of hype surrounding him (no...for real this time) and a roster that actually might be too talented to beef it (no, no, no, no I get it, but like...actually this one is legit).

Miami has punted four times in four games. They're third in points per game (52.3), despite not playing a cupcake schedule — say what you will about Florida but last I checked they haven't been asked to go to the Sun Belt yet. Cam Ward is the second highest graded passer per PFF. They have more 10 and 20 yard completions than anyone else (read: efficient) and are tied for first in passing touchdowns.

Now you might be thinking to yourself, they must be one dimensional! No team can put up numbers like that and also play well on defense!

Lol nah dawg.
