Homecoming weekend left a lot of Virginia alumni with more questions than, “Where was I Friday night?” Virginia did prevail over the hapless Duke Blue Devils, but the details weren’t always pretty. For the most part, I was impressed with the play of the ‘Hoos, but thanks to injuries on the offensive line, the hobbled play of Wali Lundy and the absence of Ahmad Brooks , there were causes for concern.

Maryland is coming off a solid victory over pesky Wake Forest and is clearly the best team the Cavs will have faced to this point. Add to that the fact it’s a rivalry game at the opponent’s home field and we’ve got a recipe for a very tough matchup. Let’s take a look at the keys to the game that, if executed, will give the ‘Hoos a win on the road at Maryland.
