MIAMI - It's back to the gridiron for Miami (Fla.) after a week off following an unexpectedly narrow 17-12 victory at home over non-conference foe Central Michigan.
"(Head coach Justin Fuente) wants to find an identity, but we want to be known like what we say: Hard, smart, tough," Hokies offensive lineman Lecitus Smith told reporters.
Bud Foster's defense (352.3 yards per game) gave up scores (six TDs, one field goal) on seven of Duke's final eight possessions last week.
The Hurricanes have played in three games decided by five points or fewer, winning just once (against Central Michigan).
