For the first half of play against the Tennessee Volunteers the Virginia Cavaliers’ offense struggled to establish any meaningful rhythm. The Wahoo running backs were being stuffed at or behind the line of scrimmage on nearly every attempt, while Tony Muskett could hardly drop back without getting hit.
That was the reality of playing a team and a defense as physically gifted and talented as Tennessee. Virginia scored only three first half points, gained a mere 64 yards, and rushed for -9 yards (with two sacks from the Vols factored into that number).
But in the second half there was more life for the Wahoo offense.
