That number improved slightly against Virginia Tech to 2.5 yards per carry, but it’s far below where Golden wants it to be – and where Miami will need it to be against Clemson. We’re young, and that’s part of maturing and part of growing. He came on in relief of struggling quarterback Brenden Motley in the second half Saturday against Miami, but Brewer’s attempt to rally Virginia Tech fell short.

Michael Brewer will return as Virginia Tech’s starting quarterback this week against Duke, coach Frank Beamer and offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler said during their press conferences Monday.
Brewer returned last week, but coaches were confident in backup quarterback Brenden Motley after a strong performance the week before in a win over N.C. State.
Extra point: Miami last won a bowl game on December. 31, 2006 in the MPC Computers Bowl, a 21-20 triumph over Nevada in Boise, Idaho.
“Unfortunately it wasn’t enough”, Brewer said. “We’re angry. But we can’t feel sorry for ourselves”, Motley said Saturday.
Alright, time to put you on the spot: Who wins on Saturday, how do they do it, and what what will the attendance be in Sun Life Stadium? It’s just a play here or there that can change the whole outcome of a game. “We’re just praying for him at this point”, Golden said. “We’ve just got to get back on the practice field and get this bad taste out of our mouth”.
The Hokies finished the game with 361 yards of offense. The speed and get-off up front from linemen Luther Maddy, Dadi Nicolas, Ken Ekanem and Corey Marshall could neutralize Miami’s best weapons, QB Brad Kaaya and RB Joseph Yearby. He completed 19 of 30 for 296 yards, with two touchdowns and no interceptions. Their most unsafe weapon is sophomore Isaiah Ford, who leads the conference with 421 yards and six touchdowns in six games.
Miami’s secondary will be up for the task as cornerbacks Artie Burns and Corn Elder are two of the best in the ACC, while opposing offenses have been wise to stay away from veteran safety Deon Bush. In a toss-up game between two second-tier ACC programs, take the team with the better quarterback situation and the home field edge.
Tech appeared to be in great shape heading into halftime, tied with Miami at 13.
Another week and another disappointing day from Virginia Tech’s pass rush. After losing starting middle linebacker and senior captain Raphael Kirby, the Hurricanes have lost someone in the two-deep at three of the four linebacker spots.

The Canes’ offense was on fire early against the Huskers-scripted plays working to perfection and Miami building a monster lead. “Then the other one, I can’t really explain it. It’s just what we do”. “At the time, I wanted to make them punt and get something off a possible blocked kick”. The Hokies are 7-1 against the Blue Devils in Blacksburg with that one loss coming on October 26, 2013.
