A look at the defense of the Virginia Cavaliers before the UCLA Bruins take them on at the Rose Bowl on Saturday afternoon.
Last season the UCLA Bruins entered their first game against the Virginia Cavaliers as a top 10 team. Led by Brett Hundley, the expectation was for the offense to handle the Cavaliers fairly easily despite the fact that center Jake Brendel was going to miss the contest.
That was not what occurred. What happened was an offensive disaster.
The Cavaliers had a good defense last season, ranking in the 30th-50th range in most categories of importance on defense.
