This is a solid team we're going up against. UVA has played UCLA, Richmond and Louisville.



They held UCLA 3 points below their scoring average. Richmond and Louisville were 35.5. and 27.5 respectively below their averages.



They held these opponents 49.5, 175.5 and 148.5 rushing yards below average.



On total defense, UVA held opponents 118.5, 162, and 187.5 total yards below average.



And UVA's PER defense is stout as well. Holding opponents 43.9, 63.0 and 60.3 PER points below normal as well.



UVA does struggle somewhat on offense and are somewhat hit and miss.



UVA was held 6 points below what UCLA usually gives up. But they were 31.5 and 6.0 points above what Richmond and Louisville allow.



UCLA shut down the UVA run game holding them 25 yards below UCLA run defense. But UVA did run on both Richmond and Louisville being 34 and 58.5 yards above average.



But both UCLA and Louisville did defend UVA's PER offense hold them to 15.6 and 21.9 PER points below their PER defense. But the Cavaliers did throw all over Richmond at 59.6 PER points above average.

Good stuff.

But one of their most impressive stats is UVAs turnover margin. Isn't it like +3.5?

If BYU avoids turning over the ball! it wins this game. Pure and simple. UVAs D is very solid, but won't stop BYUs O altogether. It would help if our D could create turnover or short field.

Agreed. I think UVA might be tough on defense, but I don't think they'll be able to do anything offensively. If we can create some short fields and/or turnovers, this game could really turn into a rout quickly.



Which is what I predict will happen. BYU 48 UVA 13
