Despite Virginia’s 0-2 start to the 2016 campaign, the Cavaliers showed signs of improvement in its loss to Oregon, giving fans reason to believe that there’s more to this team than what they saw against Richmond. Still, a look at Virginia’s season statistics — admittedly with a two-game sample size — give fans pause. Here is where UVA stands at the moment:
- Virginia’s defense is allowing an average of 578 yards per game, which is dead last in the ACC and 125th out of 128 FBS schools.
- Both the passing and rushing yardage on defense are dead last in the ACC and ranked 115th or worse nationally.
