Pro Football Focus provides comprehensive analysis grades for NCAA Division 1 football teams. Virginia football turned in a dominant performance at home last Saturday, crushing Duke 48-0. The shutout of the Blue Devils was the latest positive step for a Cavalier defense that had shown incremental improvement since surrendering 59 points and 699 yards of offense to North Carolina in Week 3. Steady play from the defensive line has played a significant role in the improvement.

(Note: A Pro Football Focus grade of around 65 is average. The higher the better. A grade in the 70s is above average, while a grade in the 80s and above is very good.)
