Miami controlled the action at Lane Stadium, defeating Virginia Tech 34-17 behind Carson Beck's four-touchdown performance. The Hurricanes built a commanding 20-3 halftime lead with Beck connecting on early scores to Elija Lofton and Mark Fletcher Jr. Despite a brief Hokies comeback attempt with rushing touchdowns from Jeffrey Overton Jr. and William Watson III, Miami sealed the victory when Beck found Malachi Toney for a 20-yard strike in the final minute.
