The Virginia football team put itself in position for a possible upset at Louisville last week, but ultimately came up short in 31-24 loss. It was the Hoos’ final road game of the season as they wrapped up a 1-4 record away from home or 1-5 if you can’t the neutral site game against Tennessee in Nashville.

Interestingly, the Cavaliers finished with a 63.3 average overall grade per Pro Football Focus (PFF) in those six games. If you throw out the opener, it climbs to 65.26 in true road games. That’s an average grade in the PFF data. For offense, the five-game score is a 65.72 (average). For defense, it’s 59.46 (below average).

On the opposite end, the Hoos have generally performed better at Scott Stadium with an average overall grade of 71.95 in four home games to date. The offense and defense have home averages of 67.65 (average) and 67.92 (average), respectively. With two homes games remaining, Virginia hopes to keep raise those numbers or at least maintain in order to give itself a chance to win vs. the Georgia Tech bummer.
