Week 4 Tale Of The Tape: It Looks Like UVA Could Have An Edge

Well, it’s Friday morning, game day is tomorrow, so it’s time to look at the tale of the tape between Virginia and Louisville.

Weather should be close to perfect (partly cloudy and 78 degrees and game time) and the stats seem to favor the Wahoos. They’ve gained considerably more yards on offense than Louisville, and given up fewer yards and points than the Cardinals. Both teams are 2-1, but as Hootie pointed out in an earlier piece, the explosive Louisville offense of the past is not the same one they will be bringing to Charlottesville. Could be a great opportunity for a third win for Virginia.
