The Spartan running attack has been pathetic all season averaging just 2.7 yards per carry. Only once has this team broken the 4 ypc barrier, and that was 4.1 ypc against Northwestern. The passing game was adequate the first two games but since then this team has thrown for 180, 167, 131 and 227 yards. In those last four games the Spartans have totaled 48 total points, just 12 per game. Now it takes on a rejuvenated Penn State squad.
The Nittany Lions lost the turnover battle in each of its first five games. Tough to win and cover when you can’t hold on to the football. But the last two games turnovers were even and Penn State won both contests by a combined score of 50-24. On the season the Nittany Lions have a whopping +87 first down advantage when compared to the Spartans. This team made every mistake imaginable early, but the talent is now shining through.
These two programs are going in different directions. UVA has been hot under coach Bronco Mendenhall while Va Tech under Justin Fuente has struggled with injuries to QB's as well as Covid issues.
Virginia was able to win last year after going 0-15 the previous 15 games. However, UVA blew the game and lost in OT the last time at Blacksburg.
Take the points even though I think Virginia wins outright.
