The Miami Hurricanes have strung together two ACC victories in a row, but they’ll need to win out to make a bit more noise. Their 34-14 victory over Virginia showed that they may be peaking at the right time.

The Hurricanes ran the ball for 222 rushing yards and two touchdowns as a team. The rushing attack was led by Mark Walton, who rushed for 111 rushing yards and a touchdown in the game. It was the second week in a row Walton ran for over 100 rushing yards.

Quarterback Brad Kaaya threw for 228 passing yards and two touchdowns to lead the Hurricanes passing attack. It was just the fourth game of the season the offense gained over 400 yards of offense in a game.

Miami hopes to keep the offensive success going while they’re 3-3 in ACC play. They lost four games in a row after starting the season 4-0. Three of the games the Hurricanes lost by a combined total of 11 points.

This Week: @NC State

The Miami Hurricanes face the NC State Wolfpack this week. It is their first meeting since 2012. The Hurricanes won that meeting 44-37.
