Frank Beamer has been the head coach at Virginia Tech since 1987, and has coached against some incredibly talented running backs, especially those that Miami has produced over the years. Beamer believes that the one that ran all over his Hokies on Thursday night may be the best of them all. Miami’s Duke Johnson was magnificent against Virginia Tech, going for 286 total yards and two touchdowns against the vaunted Virginia Tech defense. In doing so, Johnson broke the Lane Stadium single-game rushing record.

After the game, Beamer was asked about Johnson’s performance, and the Hokies head coach wasn’t afraid to praise the Miami star.

Beamer asked about Duke Johnson being best RB he’s seen this year: “Not only all season. Forever.” #Hokies — Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) October 24, 2014

Miami fans were not thrilled with the decision to keep Johnson in the game as late as head coach Al Golden did, but luckily, he seems to have avoided injury, despite a few scares.

Miami is now on a two game winning streak, outscoring Cincinnati and Virginia Tech by a combined 85-40. The Canes face off against a porous North Carolina defense next week, so don’t be surprised if Johnson breaks out for another monster performance.
