[FONT=Georgia, Droid Serif, serif]VT's schedule ranks 76th one spot ahead of Minnesota at 77th the lowest of the power 5. Miami schedule ranks 44th by comparison, neither very good.
[/FONT]Miami’s 17 completions this season of 30 yards or more rank second in the ACC to Wake Forest[FONT=Georgia, Droid Serif, serif]’s 19. Bud Foster tends to under perform in games when teams hit deep balls. Throw in the fact VT is not sacking QB's very often this year
[/FONT]The Hurricanes average a stout 5.2 yards per rush, but only 3.8 in the three games since losing Mark Walton, the ACC’s best running back, to season-ending ankle surgery. Miami will average less then 3.8 vs Bud Foster.
Miami is fourth nationally in sacks per game at 3.4, sixth in turnover margin at plus-1.4 per game. Virginia Tech ranks second in scoring defense (11.5 points per game) and opponents’ completion percentage (44.9) and third in third-down defense (24.0 percent).
Vegas priced Miami at -3 to open the public rushed into VT. Miami now getting points +2 1/2
I found these stats for Rosier and Jackson. Identical, yet VT has played a much softer schedule
Rosier: 143-252 2071 yds 17 TDs 4 INTs. 12 sacks
Jackson: 149-239 2032 yds 17 TDs 4 INTs 12 sacks
Both have been sacked 12 times, both have a 17/4 TD/INT ratio. Jackson does have a slightly better completion percentage and YPA.
Heck, even running they're quite similar...
Rosier: 69 att 211 yds 2 TDs
Jackson: 67 att 193 yds 2 TDs.
