Miami to make quarterback change, start true freshman Emory Williams against FSU

After five interceptions and no touchdowns for Tyler Van Dyke the past two games, Emory Williams gets the ball against FSU.

The Miami Hurricanes will make a quarterback change on Saturday with true freshman Emory Williams slated to start against Florida State instead of veteran Tyler Van Dyke.

Williams, a true freshman, started against Clemson and led the Hurricanes to an overtime win over the Tigers three weeks ago. The true freshman completed 24 of his 33 attempts against Clemson for 151 yards with one touchdown and one interception. ESPN gave him a QBR of 82.3 for his efforts.

Van Dyke started the season strong with 11 passing touchdowns and a single interception in his first four games, completing 74.7% of his passes for 10.5 yards per attempt. He shined in an early upset over Texas A&M with 374 yards and five touchdowns.

He’s struggled in his last four games, however. The Miami quarterback has lost three of his last four starts, the only exception being an overtime victory over Virginia, with five touchdowns and 10 interceptions.

In the two games since Van Dyke took back over after the Clemson win, he has completed 60.3 % of his passes for 4.9 yards per attempt, no touchdowns, and five interceptions

The Hurricanes kick off against the Seminoles at 3:30 p.m. ET.
