The Virginia football team’s season-opening 34-13 victory against Richmond, while not what could be called a statement game, certainly was an efficient effort for a program coming off back-to-back losing seasons. This could be labeled as a sound performance and hopefully will be something the team builds on this weekend in Winston-Salem and beyond.
