A brief look at each team's spring game.

Florida State
Short-handed throughout the spring, the defense rose up in the Garnet & Gold game, forcing seven turnovers for a 39-27 Gold victory. S Jamie Robinson had a pair of interceptions, and his teammates recovered five fumbles for a measure of redemption against the Garnet. On one of those fumbles, LB Nigel Bradham returned it 45 yards for a touchdown. Starting QB Christian Ponder generally had a rough day, going 10-of-19 for 118 yards, a touchdown, and those two picks. On defense, end Justin Mincey played well, making a team-high five stops and 2.5 tackles for loss.
Miami
Using a unique scoring system designed by the coaching staff, the Miami offense spanked the defense, 52-3, racking up more than 400 yards of total offense. The hero on the ground was junior Damien Berry, a converted safety, who rushed 114 yards, including a 54-yard touchdown burst. Sophomore Jacory Harris solidified his spot as the starting quarterback, going 9-of-16 passes for 141 yards on five possessions. Sophomore Thearon Collier was the preferred target of Harris and Taylor Cook, making a game-high five grabs for 65 yards.
Virginia Tech
April 25 - The Maroon-White game had a regular season feel to it, as Antoine Hopkins returned a fumble for the decisive touchdown, and the Maroon D stuffed QB Tyrod Taylor inside the 5 on the final play for a 13-7 win. Taylor finished 16-of-33 for 188 yards and a touchdown, but was upstaged on offense by young RB Ryan Williams. The exciting redshirt freshman had a game-high 86 yards on 10 carries, while catching two receptions for 66 yards and a score. Hopkins, another second-year freshman, was the hero on defense, adding five tackles and two sacks to his game-changing score.
