The Tale Of The Tape For Today’s UVA-Richmond Game:

Welcome to “The Tale Of The Tape”, a look at how the Wahoos and their opponent each week stack up against each other statistically.This will be a regular feature here on JerryRatcliffe.Com on game day, but as is the case in every first game of the season, the previous year’s stats don’t really mean that much other than the stats of key returning players. But they do offer a hint into how tough an opponent is on either offense or defense, as while the players may change, the offensive and defensive schemes do not.
