UVA just upset Louisville, and they beat us last year. Take a closer look, and their defense is built to cause us challenges as they're going to be solid vs. the run. We haven't been a solid passing team for a while now, especially vs. top talent. We didn't look all that great against Houston; Virginia handled UCLA's offense just fine and probably should have beaten them. So yeah, when media pundits are charged with picking an "upset special," I've got to think this game is a pretty appealing candidate.

Not that I think that means they win. I believe the Hoos find our defense is pretty good, our offense isn't quite as one dimensional and ridiculous as it was last year at their place and that there are few more athletes to keep up with than they remember. I think we win by 10-14--more if we're able to demonstrate proficiency in the passing game--but it's no surprise some media members have already circled us as an upset pick.
