At 2-9, and riding a 6 game losing streak, there is only one way that this season ends up as anything but a disaster. That is, of course, beating the Hokies on Saturday. Fans will forgive the loss to Richmond, the blown opportunity against UCONN and the poor results over the past few weeks. Fans will forgive all the negatives if Bronco Mendenhall can just beat VPI&SU for the first time in 13 years.
Though the Hoos haven’t beaten their rivals since 2003, the last four games have been close. Virginia has had chances to win but couldn’t get the stops they needed late.
