UVA's only advantage is playmakers on D that force turnovers.
This is why the spread is "only" 2 touchdowns. If BYU doesn't turn the ball over, it could be 41-7.
The current 31-17 prediction (spread plus O/U) takes into account that Virginia is likely to win the turnover margin.

Turnovers and lack of scoring are my biggest concerns vs UVA

What about their 50% completion rate or 3.5 ypc worry you?

Like I said, not particularly worried about their offense

#7 on their D made the O-line look silly last year. He's a player.

That 'unspectacular' defense gave up only one offensive score to Ucla

UCLA has been terrible, so yes, solid but not great would be accurate

It also gave up 422 yards to FCS Richmond and 21 points at home to Louisville.

Their defense is opportunistic. It's strength of causing turnovers against

They are better than UH and we see what happened in that game.

Two or three of their players might have the sickle cell trait. Advantage BYU.

I think we win, but UVa's defense is spectacular. They are 2012 BYU.

Their D is not spectacular. It is good, it is certainly not spectacular.

They are better than UCONN, whom we beat 35-10

We thumped Texas because they have a matchup problem with us

I'd like that, but I dont see it happening

#3 is only a slight advantage made more significant by the pace of our offense.

Of course, it's unfair, just look at how Colorado and Colorado St. dominate
