Well that was unexpected.
The Virginia Cavaliers brushed off ALL THE THINGS on Saturday, racing to a 35-7 lead and hanging on for a 45-31 victory against Ohio. In doing so, they pushed their record to 2-1 and remained on track in their quest for the postseason. They also made a number of fans (myself included) look a little silly for all of our fretting. There may have been a few nervous moments early in the fourth quarter Saturday, but the outcome was never really in doubt.
As a result, Virginia’s postseason picture looks pretty good at the moment.
