Before looking forward to Black Friday’s matchup against Virginia Tech, we have to go through this Saturday’s slate, which features a pair of games worth paying attention to. Though they might not be as important as what will go down next week - at least for UVA - both could provide a nice barometer for what to expect in this year’s commonwealth clash.
Sure, UVA cannot change their standing within the Coastal standings this weekend, meaning, ultimately, they’ll have to beat Virginia Tech next Friday in order to ensure a berth in the ACC Championship game, but that doesn’t make Saturday’s game meaningless.
