A half that seemed to be going according to plan fell apart in the last four minutes for the Virginia Cavaliers. UVA leads 10-7 at the break. Our quick thoughts on this game so far:
Running game bounces back
After gaining just 81 yards on 24 designed rushes against Illinois (with Jay Woolfolk’s garbage time 31 yarder carrying that total), the Wahoo rushing game has bounced back in this first half with 26 total carries for 142 yards and a solid 5.5 yards per carry average.
UVA’s been using a running back by committee approach with Perris Jones, Xavier Brown, Cody Brown, and Mike Hollins all getting carries.
