It strikes me as a crazy low point spread, especially given the way Mendenhall's defenses have swallowed up and expectorated our offense in recent years...
Someone has to start the game thread so I’ll bite the bullet. Virginia has won five straight in the series and is currently a five points favorite in Vegas.
Discuss the game here.

Coach Cutcliffe met with the media today (via Zoom most likely), here is Jim’s take:

Lots of ball security talk.

I’m trying to be excited. I’m not there yet. Saturday hurt.
UVa (& Va Tech in 2 weeks) will line up in press man coverage and blitz the heck out of Brice. He's going to have to make good, quick decisions.
DT Ben Frye and WR Jake Bobo met with the media. Here is Jim’s take:

Both players remain positive despite the 0-2 start.

Just heard on CNBC that the Wake - Notre Dame game scheduled for this Saturday has been postponed because 7 ND players tested positive. Damn, that's ~10 days after playing us.
Ozzie, your paradigm of optimism!

After how we played against the perennial football powerhouse Boston College, color me not too optimistic about a win over Virginia.
Football is a contact sport, played best with some material level of aggressiveness. We lacked that against BC, and based on the comments from coaches and players since the game, they seem to focus more on a lack of basic execution. Coach is the expert, so whatever. As a fan, the unbearable part of that game was not the turnovers as much as the fact that BC wanted it more than we did.
