2. Virginia is second-to-last in the ACC in passing defense
Last week, before the game against NC State, everyone around the country was concerned with how Louisville would handle the Wolfpacks’ top-rated defense. However, what everyone failed to research is that they have the tenth ranked passing defense in the conference. As physical as the Wolfpack are up front, they are terrible in the secondary.
It was easy to see why Lamar Jackson threw for 300 yards before halftime.
We now move on to this weekend, where Jackson will be going up against the 13th ranked passing defense in the ACC. It’s pretty easy to see why Louisville will be able to have a field day with the Cavaliers’ secondary.
This feels like a James Quick kind of game. He hasn’t produced much over the last two weeks, but this could be the weekend we see him explode for another long touchdown catch.
Virginia has struggled to stop any decent offense this year, they won’t figure it out against the Cards.
