The Virginia Cavaliers kicked off the 2020 football season on Saturday afternoon, welcoming the Duke Blue Devils to Charlottesville. Virginia overcame some sloppiness offensively to notch a 38-20 win, aided by stifling defense. That Virginia defense forced Duke into seven turnovers — five interceptions and two fumbles — as the Hoos beat Duke for the sixth straight time.
Virginia also added five sacks and 11 tackles for a loss, and the five interceptions tied the Hoos single game record. This has been a recent trend for the Blue Devils as they have turned the ball over 24 times over the six-game losing streak to the Cavaliers.
