UVA seems to save their best games for us. I think we end up around 500 total yards, but I’m not sure of the mix

The last time we played them at home, we had 1 or 2 long plays, but outside of those we averaged 2.0 yards per carry. Virginia has a good defense against us. I think we’ll do much better than that, but it’s going to be tough. That 2.0 carey year was 2016 with JT and MJ, who were no slouches.

Liberty ran for 205 yesterday. Last year we had 179 yards passing and 220 on the ground. UVA is very thin on the dline. I was flipping between their game and another and I think I heard Wes say they're down to 5 play ready guys. If we can get them on the ground early and often they'll be exhausted before the half. I think if we play like we have the last 2 weeks we put up just over 400.

I couldn’t watch that game for very long.

Looks like they also play a 3-4. They don’t seem to have much DL depth.

Season to date, they’re a top 30 defense, but they didn’t look like it when I watched them yesterday.
They beat Miami 16-13, Duke 28-14, and UNC 31-21. They don’t seem to score much or give up much. Opponents are averaging less than 20ppg.
Their rushing defense is top 40. Their passing defense seems stronger. By S&P+, they have the #33 overall defense and the #38 rushing defense. Miami has the #9 overall defense and the #48 rushing defense (Miami gets a ton of sacks and turnovers). Clemson has the #2 defense and the #1 rushing defense. Duke is #36, and #48 rushing defense.
Compared to Miami, UVAs defense is (was) more consistent. I think they’ll be like Duke. Keeping two hands on the ball is crucial. Virginia is down one of their best players at linebacker.
We only got 229 rushing yards against Duke, and 231 against Miami. UVA gave up that much against Liberty and 254 against Pitt.
I’m going to guess about 325 yards rushing and 100 passing.
And a week of practicing with two hands on the ball.

How does UVA’s defense compare to Miami’s statistically speaking?

Senior night
Looking at depth chart - dl looks young.
The qb runs a lot and passes well to one g very good w r .

In think this will be our best game.

They still seem very slow compared to miami.

We roll.

i think GT is going to run well this game. Three weeks ago I would have had a very different answer.

Of the 5 primary DL they expected to use at the beginning of the season 3 of the 5 are gone (injured) and a 4th is playing injured. They are having to start 2 true FR on the line now.
This is a very different defense than what it was 3 weeks ago.

Mendenhall is a really good defensive coach and has been excellent against TO teams his entire career but I think defensive injuries have really hurt UVA the last couple of weeks.

Their rush defense numbers have gotten significantly worse over the last 3 weeks compared to the season as a whole.
