No 11 Virginia Tech expects to have cornerback Stephan Virgil in the lineup against No 9 Miami on Saturday after he missed two games with a bruised left knee.

Hokies defensive coordinator Bud Foster said Tuesday night that Virgils return will bolster a Hokies defense that has been plagued by missed tackles leading to big plays.

Virginia Tech (2-1) normally has one of the nations top-rated defenses, but is ranked 77th in the country and has given up an average of 364 yards per game.

The Hokies are ranked 107th against the run, allowing an average of 200 yards rushing.
