Let's reflect on how Virginia beat us last time:
1. Strong front-four on the defensive line broke through our O-line on nearly every play.
2. Late game turnovers and opportunistic scoring.
UVA's front four is at least as strong as last year. Our read option works great when you get 1-2 beats to let it develop. When you have guys busting up the middle, it collapses quickly. Same goes for our passing game.
We're not immune to turnovers and mistakes either. We nearly handed the game to Houston--at home--by the exact same formula.
Our biggest hope is that the Louisville game was a wakeup for our Cougars that they need to take UVA seriously. This is a team whose strengths play right into our weaknesses. Last year was not a fluke, and we'll be fortunate to win again this year.
