We need to get our DL and LBs back for the game.They really struggled to throw the ball against a below-average Virginia Tech team. So we gotta shut down their run game.
....and I remember all those UVA politicians fighting to get VaTech in the ACC. Be careful what you wish for.They were up and down for most of the year (sound familiar) so it's difficult to get a solid read as a casual observer. I wouldn't put too much emphasis on their last game against VT. Not only is it an instate rivalry game, but VATech looks to live rent free in their head.
How do we compare?
Not that concerned about your last question. Despite all the complaints about Muschamp this year, he has consistently won the games he was supposed to win.There really shouldn't be any concern, whatsoever, as to winning this game. UVa's only victories have come against ACC bottom dwellers and schedule filling cupcakes. Even their rival, VaTech (6-6) had to win their match up to become bowl eligible.
UVa avgs 212 yds/game passing & 170 rushing. They probably got their passing yardage over 200 yards simply because they were forced to go the air so often playing catch up. AND ... they do not play very well away from home. Hell! They haven't even played, win or lose, a team that could beat beat us ... OK, maybe NCSU, (9-3) who beat UVa by 14 points. They lost to Pitt (7-6) & Indiana (5-7). Beat No One of note.
Vandy & Arkansas would probably be the only SEC equivalents and I'd still take those two over UVa, in a heartbeat.
The REAL QUESTION is ... what happens if even they beat us???

Nothing happens if we lose. It's the Belk Bowl.There really shouldn't be any concern, whatsoever, as to winning this game. UVa's only victories have come against ACC bottom dwellers and schedule filling cupcakes. Even their rival, VaTech (6-6) had to win their match up to become bowl eligible.

Well, look for them to put it all together on Dec. 29! That's the way these things work.From my ex-brother-in-law who works for UVA athletics (and an ex-All American wrestler for UVA)
"We're good on both sides of the ball, but haven't played to an high level yet." He is pretty complimentary of Mendenhall overall.
