There is no quarterback controversy in Coral Gables according to Miami head coach Mario Cristobal.

"We are honest about the fact that Tyler has played great football here for a long time and you don't turn on your quarterback because we had a bad day," he said. You have to install things and work on things that the quarterback and the supporting cast like.

In the Week 3 loss to Texas A&M, Miami's offense was stagnant, and in the first game against MTSU, Van Dyke struggled. He completed less than half of his throws with one touchdown and two picks over the two games.

Van Dyke, who threw for at least 300 yards and three touchdown in each of his final six games of the year, was pulled midway through the MTSU game. The quarterback completed just 10 of 19 passes for 169 yards. He acknowledged that Van Dyke deserved to play through struggles, even though he thought he did a great job.

Saturday's game between Miami and North Carolina could be a crucial one in the conference. Despite back-to-back losses, the Hurricanes are still the favorites to win the division, according to a metric by the sports network. The state of North Carolina is second in percentage. The first conference game for Miami will be this one.

Over the course of the season, Van Dyke has completed 59% of his throws with four touchdown passes and three interceptions.

Competitors are able to bounce back after a bad day. "He is going to attack every opportunity that he has and that we have as a football team." "We have an unbelievable opportunity on Saturday, and it is either you come together and you work at it and you improve and move forward, or you collapse and fall apart." That is not allowed in the program. Tyler has done a great job of making sure we improve, and we have done a better job of communicating and making sure we do things that fit our personnel at the moment.
