1966 Liberty Bowl: Miami, 14â7 |
The MiamiâVirginia Tech football rivalry is an American college football rivalry between the Miami Hurricanes of the University of Miami and Virginia Tech Hokies of Virginia Tech. As of 2022, Miami leads the series 24â15. [1]
The last game between the two teams was October 15, 2022, in Blacksburg, and Miami won 20â14.
The Hurricanes and Hokies first met on November 13, 1953, in Miami.
Miami and Virginia Tech have met in two bowl games, and Miami has won both of them, winning the 1966 Liberty Bowl 14â7 and the 1981 Peach Bowl 20â10.
The two teams have played annually since 1992. The rivalry began developing when the Hokies became a member of the Big East Conference for football in 1991. When the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) expanded in 2004, both Miami and Virginia Tech left the Big East for the ACC. Both teams continue to compete annually as members of the ACC Coastal Division.
The series was largely dominated by Miami until 1995 when Virginia Tech won their first game against Miami in Blacksburg. Since then, the series has been largely even with Virginia Tech winning 15 games and Miami winning 12. Several of the games since 1985 have been notable, including 11 meetings when both teams were ranked in the top 25 and four meetings when both ranked in the top 10.
In 2000, No. 2 Virginia Tech lost to No. 3 Miami at the Miami Orange Bowl 41â21.
In 2003, No. 10 Virginia Tech beat No. 2 Miami in Lane Stadium 31â7, which snapped Miami's long-standing regular season winning streak.
In 2004, the first year for both schools in the ACC, both teams met at the Orange Bowl in Miami for the final game of the regular season, which became a de facto ACC championship game with the winner getting a berth in a Bowl Championship Series bowl game. No. 10 Virginia Tech beat No. 9 Miami 16â10 in that game.
In 2005, No. 5 Miami beat No. 3 Virginia Tech in Blacksburg 27â7.
In 2017, which was the last game that featured both teams meeting while both were ranked, #10 Miami beat #13 Virginia Tech 28â10.
In the last ten games, Miami has seven wins to Virginia Tech's three wins. In the last five games, Miami has won four to Virginia Tech's one.
After a one-year hiatus due to the ACC doing away with divisions in 2023, [2] the ACC announced the scheduling model for the next seven years (2024 to 2030 seasons) with the conference now at 17 teams. MiamiâVirginia Tech was restored as an annual matchup. [3]
