The Virginia Cavaliers football team got off to a good start on Saturday afternoon as they won their season opener against the visiting Duke Blue Devils, 38-20. There were a lot of things to like as the Cavalier defense forced seven turnovers, the running game churned out 5.1 yards per carry, and quarterback Brennan Armstrong threw for 269 and two touchdowns.
Virginia’s brightest star, however, was first year wide receiver Lavel Davis Jr. The 6-7, 210 pound freshman had four receptions for 101 yards and hauled in two fourth quarter touchdowns.
