It took awhile to get here, but the Virginia Cavaliers finally got to play a football game in 2020. The Hoos overcame slow starts in both halves as they ended up dominating the visiting Duke Blue Devils, 38-20. Virginia’s defense forced seven turnovers in the game, coming up with five interceptions. The run defense was stifling, allowing just 56 rushing yards, but the Hoos were vulnerable in the air — especially through the middle — as they gave up 286 passing yards.
Brennan Armstrong had highs and lows in his debut as a starter, finishing 24-for-45 and 269 yards in the air with two touchdowns.
