The Hurricanes and Hokies football teams first met on November 13, 1953 in Miami. Miami and Virginia Tech have met in two bowl games, the 1966 Liberty Bowl and the 1980 Peach Bowl. The two teams have played annually since 1992, and the rivalry developed when the Hokies became a member of the Big East Conference for football in 1995. When the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) expanded in 2004, both Miami and Virginia Tech became members of the ACC. Both teams continue to compete annually as part of the ACC's Coastal Division. The series between the 'Canes and Hokies was one-sided until 1995 when Virginia Tech took their first game against Miami 13–7 in Blacksburg. Since 1995, the series has been 12–6 and 6–3 in ACC play in favor of Virginia Tech. There have been several notable games in this time, including 11 meetings in which both teams were ranked in the top 25 and four meetings where both teams were part of the national top 10. In 2000, No. 2 Virginia Tech lost to No. 3 Miami at the Orange Bowl 41–21. In 2003 the number two Hurricanes had a regular season winning streak snapped by the Hokies in Lane Stadium. In 2004, the first year for both schools in the ACC, both teams met in Miami at the Orange Bowl stadium for the final game of the regular season, which turned out to be a de facto ACC Championship game, with the winner getting a berth in a BCS bowl game. The No. 10 Hokies defeated the No. 9 Hurricanes 16–10. In 2005, the No. 5 Hurricanes beat the No. 3 Hokies in Blacksburg 27–7.
