Virginia 32 Duke 24. Virginia 34 Duke 20. Virginia 28 Duke 21.
Those are the scores of the last three Duke-Virginia football games, a disturbing trend after David Cutcliffe won six of his first seven meetings with the Cavaliers.
The last two Virginia wins have come under Bronco Mendenhall, lured away from BYU to replace Mike London, dismissed after going 27-46 over six seasons.
“I turn on the tape and it’s a Bronco Mendenhall football team,” David Cutcliffe says. “They tackle well, they block well. They play the kicking game well. They’re aligned well. It is just a staple of really good football.
