Five takeaways from Virginia’s disappointing 27-24 loss to Boston College
Brian Fluharty-USA TODAY Sports The Cavaliers started strong, but once again collapsed late and weren’t able to earn their first win in Chestnut Hill The Cavaliers looked the part of a winless football team in their 27-24 defeat at the hands of Boston College in Chestnut Hill. Tony Muskett returned from a shoulder injury to toss three touchdowns and the Cavalier defense forced four turnovers, but self-inflicted mistakes doomed the Hoos to yet another close loss. For the first time since 1982, Virginia fell to 0-5. Here are our five takeaways from the disappointing...

Three players, two matchups, and one prediction for Virginia football at Boston College
Photo by Ryan M. Kelly/ Previewing Sunday’s matchup between the Eagles and the Cavaliers. As you probably know, the Virginia Cavaliers are 0-4. They aren’t good, but at least these last three weeks have all been relatively close games. The Wahoos haven’t been blown out. The Maryland game looks like a blowout, but was a one possession game in the fourth quarter. It feels like they’re close to getting a win. Just need to catch a few breaks. Going on the road is often not a great way to end a losing streak. However, going on the road to face a struggling team can...

Why Virginia football needs to be more aggressive on fourth down
Reggie Hildred-USA TODAY Sports Inconsistency and poor execution cost UVA on fourth downs against NC State There’s never just one reason a team loses a football game. Against NC State on Friday night, the Virginia Cavaliers could blame three personal fouls in the final 36 seconds which ranged from “not a great choice, but forgivable” (Anthony Colandrea’s pose after completing an 18-yard two-point conversion to Malachi Fields to tie the game) to “what on Earth are you thinking?” (Ty Furnish’s headbutt after Virginia’s TD cut the lead to two, the reason...

With that, we’ve got four observations from the first 30 minutes of play. Virginia’s offense continues to live and die on big plays Through three weeks, Virginia’s offense relied heavily on chunk plays to put points on the board while the ‘Hoos were tripped up by strings of small errors when the plays downfield didn’t come together. That trend continued in the first half against the Wolfpack. A 28-yard completion to...

Three players, two matchups, and one prediction for Virginia football vs NC State
Photo by Lance King/ Breaking down the matchup between the Cavaliers and the Wolfpack. At 0-3, the Virginia Cavaliers badly need a win before this season completely gets away. You could argue that the Wahoos aren’t that far away from being 2-1, as they have led by double-digits in both of the past two games. But overall, the play simply has not been good enough. As a team, Virginia currently ranks 120th in total defense and 113th in total offense. That’s how you end up 0-3. Based on ESPN’s SP+ rankings, Virginia ranks 94th. NC State currently ranks 46th, better...

His performance in College Park marked his second...
