It may have been eight months since the Virginia football team’s 28-0 blowout of South Carolina in the Belk Bowl, but the Hoos picked up right where they left off. The Cavalier defense provided another dominant performance, the offense efficiently took advantage of every opportunity, and special teams played at a very high level in UVA’s 30-14 victory Saturday. The grades show a solid effort all around.
