Nick’s Keys to the Game: Miami

I have to be honest – Saturday was perhaps the most disappointing day I’ve had as a Virginia fan. I thought if the team and coaches came out with the same aggressive attitude as they had against Florida State and Georgia Tech, the ‘Hoos had a legitimate shot of taking down the Hokies. But alas, the team came out flat and had a poor gameplan that was only exacerbated by a lack of execution. Add to that, I completely whiffed on my Keys to the Game, as the team did not execute one of those keys in a horrific loss.

Unfortunately for the ‘Hoos, this weekend’s opponent is similar to Virginia Tech in many ways, and Miami is at home. However, as Georgia Tech proved, the Hurricanes do have weaknesses and can be beaten in the Orange Bowl. Let’s look at what I think Virginia has to do to have a chance at victory.

Offense

1) Use the shotgun
