I think the key matchup in this game is UVA's D-Line vs. our O-Line.
I think that Virginia's offense is mediocre at best. The one bright spot of their offense going into the season (Parks) has struggled in the first 3 games. With our quality front seven and solid defense, I think that Virginia's offense will struggle to move the football and score points.

The one thing that concerns me for Virginia, though, is their defense. I'll discount the stats vs. Richmond because I don't think forcing 7 turnovers vs. an FCS team really means much, but they still forced 6 turnovers in their games against UCLA and Louisville (4 fumbles/2 INT's).

That being said, if we are able to get solid play from our O-Line and hold on to the football and avoid careless turnovers, I don't think their offense will be on the field much during this game. Based on that, even if they play well defensively at the beginning of the game, I expect us to eventually wear them down and steamroll them in the second half, similar to what we did to Texas.
