If you read our “Five Things We Learned” on Saturday about why Virginia lost to Pittsburgh last Friday night, then you already know a little bit about what UVa coach Bronco Mendenhall thought went wrong for the Cavaliers in the 23-13 setback.

Jerry Ratcliffe takes us through what we came to know from Virginia’s 23-13 loss to Pitt Friday night.

There will be all kinds of analysis, theories, and yes, even excuses as to why Virginia lost a critical, 23-13, Coastal Division home game to Pittsburgh on Friday night at rain-soaked Scott Stadium.

In a hard-hitting ACC Coastal Division clash, No. 23 Virginia gave up three Pittsburgh rushing touchdowns — all by senior Darrin Hall — and the Panthers walked out of Scott Stadium with a 23-13 win Friday night.

Host Greg DePalma and ACC analyst Jerry Ratcliffe break down last weekend’s ACC games and preview this weekend’s big ACC contests. In this one particularly, we dwell extensively on Pitt at Virginia, Boston College at Virginia Tech, and talk with guest Les Johns, publisher of the Demon Deacon Digest about Wake Forest, which takes on Syracuse this weekend.

We’re all a day ahead of schedule, with the Virginia Cavaliers and the Pitt Panthers playing Friday night in front of a national TV audience. How do the ACC Coastal foes stack up?

Last Saturday, Pitt amassed 484 yards running the football against Duke. It was the most yards Pitt had rushed for in 43 years. Not since the days of Heisman winner Tony Dorsett had the Panthers grinded out that many yards with their ground attack. That record was 530 yards rushing against Army in 1975.

Since Virginia’s upset win over Miami, the Cavaliers have been on a roll. A three-game winning streak, a 6-2 record and bowl eligible, a national ranking, are all offshoots of what UVa has accomplished in October.

For just the second time in a decade, Virginia fans woke up Monday morning able to talk at the watercooler about how their beloved Wahoos have a nationally-ranked football program.

1. Mack is Back. Junior linebacker Jordan Mack has missed four of Virginia’s eight games this season with an injury but may be back in action soon.

When North Carolina trimmed Virginia’s lead to three late in the second quarter Saturday, the Cavaliers went into the locker room knowing the Tar Heels would be getting the ball back to start the third quarter.

Virginia will wake up Sunday morning sitting atop the ACC’s Coastal Division standings, bowl eligible for the second straight season, and sitting 6-2 overall with a three-game winning streak.
