Virginia Vs. Miami Final: Cavaliers Upset Hurricanes, 28-21
The Hurricanes couldn’t do enough defensively to slow down the Cavs, but got another wonderful game from the much maligned Jacory Harris. Harris ended the night completing 21 of 30 passes for 311 yards and 3 touchdowns. Harris didn’t have many of his typical gaffes and penchant to turn the ball over.
Miami’s defense have up too many big plays, which ultimately doomed them. All three of the Cavs touchdowns came from plays of 37+ yards. Rocco connected on 11 of 19 passes for 226 yards and 2 touchdowns. The time of possession and total yards for each team were nearly identical, but the Cavs were able to eat clock by rushing for over 200 yards on the ground. Miami falls to 4-4 on the season, 2-3 in the ACC.
