Well, well, well, how the turntables. After starting the season 0-5, your Virginia Cavaliers have come roaring back with a pair of victories including one against #10 North Carolina last week. On the road again, the ‘Hoos will look to keep things rolling against Miami today. Ahead of kickoff, we previewed the matchup with three players, two matchups, and one prediction to watch.
A major component of last week’s upset was the extremely improved offensive line play. We covered how Terry Heffernan’s group dominated the Heels in the trenches and how that performance projects for the remainder of the season.
Heading into this afternoon’s matchup, Tony Elliott has emphasized embracing a honey badger mentality and remain disciplined despite the success that they’ve had the last couple weeks.

Here are a few game notes from UVA:
INSIDE SATURDAY’S MATCHUP
• Saturday will mark the 21st meeting between Miami and Virginia in a series that was first played in 1996. Last year in Charlottesville, the two teams played the longest game in UVA history, a four-overtime affair that ended in a 14-12 Hurricane victory.
• UVA has posted back-to-back 200-yard team rushing efforts and will square off against the top rushing defense in the ACC in Miami. The Hurricanes have allowed 79.6 rushing yards per game this season and only one opponent has rushed over 100 yards this season (North Carolina). The Cavaliers haven’t rushed for more than 200 yards in three straight games since 2004.
• Virginia has not won back-to-back games since the 2021 season when it started a four-game win streak with a 30-28 win at Miami and also snapped a six-game losing skid at Hard Rock Stadium in the process.
• After a 31-27 triumph over then-No. 10 North Carolina last week, Virginia is seeking back-to-back ACC road wins for the first time since 2021 when it downed Miami (30-28) and Louisville (34-33).
• Virginia’s receiving corps is led by Malik Washington, who was named the ACC Receiver of the Week for the second time this season. He ranks top-5 in the country in receiving yards (783) and receptions per game (8.0).
• Saturday will mark UVA’s second game in an NFL stadium this season. The Cavaliers squared off against Tennessee in Nissan Stadium, home of the Tennessee Titans, to open the 2023 season. Saturday will mark the 10th game in an NFL Stadium since the start of 2018 season. UVA is 3-6 in those contests
TOP STORYLINES
• Virginia is coming off its first ever road victory over an AP top-10 opponent after a 31-27 win over then-No. 10 North Carolina last Saturday in Chapel Hill. The Cavaliers were recognized as the Cheez-It National Team of Week and head coach Tony Elliott was named the Bobby Dodd Award Coach of the Week for their historic victory.
• Miami is receiving votes in both the AP and AFCA Coaches Poll after its 28-20 overtime win over Clemson last week. Of Virginia’s final five opponents, two are nationally ranked (No. 18 Louisville and No. 20 Duke) and three have at least five wins.
• Only two of UVA’s 12 opponents this season currently have a below .500 record – Georgia Tech (3-4) and Virginia Tech (3-4). South Carolina is the only other school in the country with more opponents (12) with a current .500 or better record.
• Virginia has owned double-digit leads in four of its seven games this season. The Cavaliers have been on the wrong end of three games decided by three points or less this season. In the first 17 games of Tony Elliott’s tenure, the Cavaliers have been a part of seven games decided by a field goal or less and are 1-6 in those contests.
• Five true freshmen, CB Dre Walker, WR Jaden Gibson, QB Anthony Colandrea, WR Suderian Harrison and LB Kam Robinson have started games for the Virginia this season. A total of 10 true freshmen have seen action this year and 25 Cavaliers have made their collegiate debuts.

Virginia Basketball Holds Off Manhattan 74-65 | Key Takeaways
Virginia (4-2) got back in the win column with a 74-65 victory over Manhattan (3-3) on Tuesday night at John Paul Jones Arena. Here are our five quick takeaways from the Cavaliers’ win over the Jaspers.
Virginia was in serious need of a win after suffering those two humbling losses to Tennessee and St. John’s in The Bahamas. But a convincing and comfortable victory would have been even better and for a while, it seemed like the Cavaliers were on their way to doing just that. UVA led by as many as 15 points in the first half and opened up a 16-point advantage midway through the second half. But rather than putting the game away, Virginia let Manhattan hang around and the visiting Jaspers were in a situation where they were fouling to stop the clock in the final minutes, narrowing the deficit to as little as six points. A win is a win, but this was far from a confidence-boosting performance.
Virginia went with a new starting lineup on Tuesday night, as Andrew Rohde replaced TJ Power. Rohde has been playing very well recently, particularly with his resurgent outside shot, while Power came into this game shooting 25% from beyond the arc this season.
Power initially responded well to the benching, swishing a corner three shortly after he first entered the game, hitting the deck for a loose ball, and coming up with a steal to stop a Manhattan fastbreak. But he wound up playing only six minutes, fewest among Cavaliers who saw the floor in the game. That does not bode well for the Duke transfer.

Rohde, on the other hand, had another solid game and was perhaps the top performer for the Hoos on Tuesday night. Though he missed his only three-pointer, which was a desperation off-balanced heave at the end of the shot clock, Rohde finished with a season-high 14 points, two assists (with one turnover), two rebounds, and four steals. Rohde showed excellent feel for the game, getting exactly where he wanted to go and exhibiting some nice touch on a couple of floaters plus a short jumper off the glass. If Rohde is playing like this and his three-point shot continues to be there, this could be a big season for the former St. Thomas transfer.
The main reason why this game continued to be close deep into the second half is because UVA’s defense frequently broke down and gave up open shots to Manhattan, particularly from the perimeter. The Jaspers shot 11/26 (42.3%) from beyond the arc and and seven different players knocked down a three. A couple of those Manhattan triples were well-contested, but the vast majority of them were wide-open. That’s very concerning and shows that this Virginia defense, with its many new faces, is still very much a work in progress.
Virginia’s offense was pretty well neutralized by Tennessee and St. John’s in The Bahamas. Tuesday night against Manhattan was a small step in the right direction, but there’s still a lot of room for improvement.
Let’s start with the good. Five different Cavaliers scored in double figures, including a game-high 18 points from Isaac McKneely, who hit three of his four three-point attempts and went 5/6 from the free throw line. We still think McKneely needs to shoot way more, but we’ll leave that alone for now. Dai Dai Ames scored 10 points and dished out five assists, but fouled out of the game. Blake Buchanan made his first four shots and finished with 11 points and five boards. Cofie made five of his seven shots and finished with 10 points and five boards. The best part of the game was that Virginia had 15 assists on 29 made baskets and turned the ball over only eight times, a vast improvement over the team’s turnover issues in The Bahamas.
Virginia outscored Manhattan 42-22 in the paint. That looks like a good stat, but it’s also an inevitable stat because of UVA’s size advantage over the Jaspers, whose tallest player in the rotation is 6’8″. Still, Manhattan snared 10 offensive rebounds and scored 11 second-chance points. In The Bahamas, UVA was dominated on the glass and was simply outmatched from a physicality and athleticism standpoint. Nothing we saw from the Cavaliers on Tuesday night did anything to alleviate those concerns.
Up next, Virginia remains at home for another (supposed) tune-up game against Holy Cross on Friday at 4pm at John Paul Jones Arena.
