Miami’s Mario Cristobal Preparing Three QBs to Play vs. FSU

As Miami prepares to play host to Florida State on Saturday, the Hurricanes’ quarterback state of affairs stays in flux.

Tyler Van Dyke missed Saturday’s recreation vs. Virginia with a shoulder harm, and whereas head coach Mario Cristobal stated Van Dyke is “enhancing,” he wouldn’t decide to the redshirt sophomore because the starter on Saturday.

“He’s wanting higher and higher each single day,” Cristobal stated, by way of Susan Miller Degnan of the Miami Herald. “We enter this week with making ready him to play, with making ready Jake [Garcia] to play and making ready Jacurri [Brown] to play.”

Garcia began in Miami’s 14-12 win at Virginia over the weekend. Brown, who’s listed third on the depth chart, is principally used as a run-first choice on the place.

Van Dyke has been Miami’s major starter all yr, totaling 1,728 passing yards with 10 touchdowns and 4 interceptions in seven video games. Garcia has performed his justifiable share in reduction, accumulating 595 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions in 5 video games. Brown has but to finish a cross this season, however he has rushed for 54 yards on 10 carries.

If Van Dyke progresses in his rehab, Cristobal hinted that he may very well be named starter towards the Seminoles.

“As TVD continues to enhance, we’re very optimistic,” Cristobal stated Monday. “He seemed nice yesterday. He seemed nice right now. So we’ll hold pushing that envelope, and we’ll see the place we’re at come Friday and Saturday.”

Nevertheless, if Van Dyke has a setback, Garcia seemingly will get his second consecutive begin. The Hurricanes (4-4) host the Seminoles (5-3) at 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at Exhausting Rock Stadium.
