Back in September, a 2-0 Virginia Cavaliers team faced an 0-2 ODU team that isn’t very good. After 20 minutes of game play, ODU led 17-0. Virginia managed to fight back in the second half to win 28-17, but it didn’t inspire much confidence. Many people, including Coach Mendenhall seemed to think this was due to Virginia looking ahead to Notre Dame the following week.
This week, Virginia faces a Liberty Flames team that isn’t nearly as bad as ODU. But, Virginia once again has a prime opponent the following week and need to be wary of looking ahead once again.
