Divante Walker and the Hoos hope to open ACC play with a win.
Saturday provided Cavalier faithful several reasons to be optimistic about the remainder of the season; the day also left questions to be answered entering into a critical part of the 2013 slate. The defense seems to be exceeding expectations while concerns remain with the offense and special teams.
There are two ways I define a good season. First, does the team win the toss-up games? Virginia has four in the next four weeks. These four weeks likely will write the history of the 2013 season.
