This will be the first time both teams have
faced each other in football.
The Cavaliers are 17.5 favorites in this
game. The Cougars last week lost to
Ole Miss by only three points on their
field who were favored by a larger
amount. Anything is possible however
it is hard to play a close game two weeks
in a row against a ranked team and come
up with a victory in the second game
after losing so close. The odds are against
it. If you are a betting man it might be
a good idea to put money on the Cougars.
I wouldn't put as much though on this
game. Whatever you can afford to lose
that is.
Virginia is averaging 45 points a game.
If the defense can do as they did against
Ole Miss 24 points anything might happen.
The Cavaliers are led by senior quarterback
Chandler Morris who is on his fourth team.
He is completing 69.9percent of his passes.
He is averaging 238 yards throwing with
11 touchdowns in six games and four
interceptions.
What makes the Cavaliers offense hard
to stop is they are averaging 217.5 yards
a game as well. That is almost 100 yards
more than their defense is giving up on
the ground. They are led by senior running
back J'Mari Taylor who is averaging 77.5
yards a game on 15 carries and has 8
touchdowns. The Cavaliers have four other
running backs who are averaging at least
four carries per game.
At receiving they are led by Cameron Ross
with 28 catches on the season for 329
yards and two touchdowns. Trell Harris
has 26 catches for 384 yards and three
touchdowns. They have three other
receivers with double digits of catches.
The Cougars defense will be up for
another tough game on the road.
Let's see how they respond this time
too. The Cougars offense is primarily
in the passing game however it is
important to get off to a good start
running the ball especially if they
get the ball first to keep the Cavaliers
offense off the field as much as possible.
Go Cougs!
