Miami has benched starting quarterback Tyler Van Dyke.

The Hurricanes are going to Jake Garcia midway through the 3rd quarter as they trail 31-10 to Middle Tennessee at home.

Fans cheered when Garcia ran out onto the field, per multiple reports.

Van Dyke was having a nightmare game. He threw 2 interceptions in the first 5 minutes of the contest, including one that was returned for a pick 6.

He also missed several open receivers and was not able to move the ball on Miami’s first 2 drives of the second half. He completed 16-of-32 passes for 138 yards before he was pulled.

Garcia was also a highly-touted prospect coming out of high school. He was a 4-star player in the class of 2021. He’s completed 20-of-23 passes for 250 yards, 2 touchdowns and 0 interceptions in his career.

Miami entered this game as more than a 3-touchdown favorite over the Blue Raiders.
