Miami Hurricanes quarterback Tyler Van Dyke left Saturday’s game against Duke after landing on his right shoulder while being tackled.

Miami had the ball down 14-7 in the second quarter against the Blue Devils. Van Dyke was looking to pass but felt pressure on his blind side and started to scramble. He was tackled from behind and lost a fumble that was recovered by Duke. He also landed on his throwing shoulder during the strip-sack.

Van Dyke has had an up-and-down season for the Hurricanes. Although he has played in all six games this season, he has been benched in favor of Garcia at times.
