The last game against Duke didn’t go so well, but the Deacs finished out their three game homestand with a 2-1 record, so that’s still pretty solid. Now the Deacs return to the road for a couple of games, starting with the Virginia Cavaliers and their staunch packline defense. The Deacs haven’t beaten the Cavs since 2013 and have lost 9 straight against UVA in that time. Virginia stumbled several times early in the season with some bad losses, including Navy, James Madison, and a 20-point blowout loss to Houston. That being said, the Cavs seem to have started getting things together, and sit at 4-2 in ACC play. We know UVA is going to try to slow the pace way down and take the life out of the Wake Forest offense, so the Deacs need to get out and run every time they get the chance. Let’s go get the W. Go Deacs!
