Tyler Van Dyke leaves game against Florida State with right shoulder injury

Miami starting quarterback Tyler Van Dyke was visibly in pain after attempting a pass from his own end zone in the second quarter against Florida State. He came into Saturday night’s game dealing with a lingering right shoulder injury that kept him out of the Virginia game last weekend. He initially suffered the injury a few weeks ago against the Duke Blue Devils.

Van Dyke was grabbing at his right shoulder shortly after throwing a routine pass from his own end zone in the second quarter. The bad news got worse for Miami fans, as starting offensive lineman Jalen Rivers entered the medical tent after getting rolled up on. He was seen heading to the ‘Canes locker room with medical staff and he could not put any weight on his right leg at all.

Van Dyke was seen warming up after being looked at by the Hurricanes medical staff, trying to work through the shoulder injury. He played a few snaps after injuring the right shoulder, but then left the game again. ‘Canes backup quarterbacks Jake Garcia and Jacurri Brown both took snaps in place of Van Dyke for the rest of the Florida State game.

The ‘Canes trailed Florida State 31-3 at halftime of Saturday’s game and it’s safe to say the first half was a disaster for Miami all around.

The Seminoles gashed the Miami defense in a variety of ways–both on the ground and through the air. Florida State has shredded the ‘Canes defense for 135 rushing yards in the first half. FSU quarterback Jordan Travis threw for 169 passing yards in the first half, while tossing two touchdown passes and one interception. Florida State outgained Miami in the first half in total yards–304-76.

The game wasn’t remotely close for much of the game and Florida State won in blowout fashion. It was one of the biggest wins in series history and the ‘Noles prevailed 45-3.
