Virginia Tech doesnt have long to lick its wounds after a surprising loss at Syracuse, but the Hokies could hardly ask for a better motivator to get back to work. They face longtime rival Miami on Thursday night.The former Big East rivals have played 33 times, with Miami winning 20, including three of the last four. The Hokies (4-2, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) were 21-9 in Thursday night games under former coach Frank Beamer but were 0-3 against the Hurricanes (4-2, 1-2).

Im confident our kids will be ready to go, but weve got a long way to go and a short time to get there and a lot of work to get done this week, Fuente said Monday.Ekanem, meanwhile, wants his teammates to remember the Hurricanes last visit.You cant make it bigger than it actually is. Youve got to keep everybodys head really level, so I think we definitely owe them and weve got to be able to bring it on Thursday, he said.Getting everyone on the same motivational page will be critical, quarterback Jerod Evans said.We have to bring our own energy, our own emotion, and this is a very team-oriented sport, he said. We have most guys bringing it and some guys not, and that can lead to certain things. As far as bringing our own stuff, we as a unit didnt bring it all the way.
