As the Virginia Cavaliers’ receiving core has been a consistent topic of conversation since the Wahoo passing attack has been near unstoppable all season long, the depth in the backfield is starting to show itself midway through the season.
While there was a lack in production and reliance on the running backs early on, there’s been an increase in touches for those guys of late. As guys like Mike Hollins and Wayne Taulapapa have missed time, others have started to get opportunities to impress. Against Duke, it was Devin Darrington who impressed late in the game with five carries for 60 yards including a big 34-yarder and a touchdown.
