Last week was not so fun for Virginia. The Virginia Cavaliers fell to the N.C. State Wolfpack 35-21 in a game that was a hot mess all across the board. Virginia’s offense struggled as the Wolfpack shut down the team’s run game, limiting both QB Bryce Perkins and RB Jordan Ellis—two of Virginia’s best offensive weapons — while N.C. State had a field day on the ground against Virginia’s secondary. This isn’t to say everything was bad. Special teams had a pretty solid day, Perkins and senior wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus got the ball moving a bit to keep the Cavaliers in the game and we saw a few guys step up when needed (looking at you Tavares Kelly, Joey Blount and Germane Crowell).
