Even putting the final margin of Friday night’s clinical 52-17 win aside, the Virginia Cavaliers should have left Scott Stadium with their heads held high after a thorough domination in all three phases of play over William & Mary. Last week, I highlighted better pass protection, defensive preparedness, and taking care of the ball as the simplest keys to victory. UVA (2-0, 1-0 ACC), now ranked 25th in the AP Poll, didn’t look so good in the turnover margin but was otherwise in complete control. Let’s look back.
The offensive line looked great
Quarterback Bryce Perkins had a reasonably efficient game: 16-26 for 192 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions.
