After years of futility in season openers (and most other games), the Virginia football team provided exactly what was needed Saturday: a comfortable 28-10 win over William and Mary. It wasn’t always pretty, but the outcome was never in doubt. The Wahoo defense was solid for most of the afternoon. Kurt Benkert was great, and after connecting with nine different receivers it looks like he has plenty of offensive options.
All that said, there’s certainly plenty places where the Hoos can improve. They weren’t as dominating as they should have been against an FCS opponent. But a win is a win.
