The Virginia football team’s four-overtime loss to Miami last week was devastating and, at times, flat out ugly. UVA simply could not get the job done offensively, failing to score a single touchdown, and walked away with a 14-12 ACC loss.

With the loss, Virginia’s bowl game aspirations have likely been squashed. However, Hoo coach Tony Elliott still has four games left to show the world what he can do. And, in what could be Brennan Armstrong’s last season with the Cavaliers, he needs to take advantage of this final month.

This week, Virginia will host its toughest challenge yet: the North Carolina Tar Heels. Ranked 17th in the nation, the 7-1 Heels are white hot, leading the ACC Coastal Division, and ready to roll over a 3-5 UVA team. However, this oversight could play to the Cavaliers’ advantage. Let’s take a look at this week’s matchup with UNC.
