Miami Narrowly Wins ACC Opener Against Virginia Tech

The No. 7 Miami Hurricanes narrowly avoided an upset by defeating the Virginia Tech Hokies 38-34, thanks to a controversial overturned Hail Mary touchdown in the final seconds. Miami's quarterback, Cam Ward, showcased his Heisman potential with 343 passing yards and four touchdowns, despite contributing to three turnovers. Virginia Tech, a heavy underdog, led at multiple points and capitalized on Miami's errors but ultimately fell short after officials overturned what would have been a game-winning touchdown pass. The victory keeps Miami undefeated at 5-0 and in contention for the College Football Playoff, while the Hokies drop to 2-3. The dramatic finish highlighted the unpredictable nature of college football and raised questions about officiating and replay reviews.
