It is the first time since 2007 as a top #20 team.

Virginia football is ranked in the top #30 in the country in turnover margin, fewest sacks allowed, and fewest penalty yards.

The Hoos are the only ACC team in the top #30 in each.

Clean football.

Thought about it. But we already had plans. We had been there for Octoberfest. Weather on Sunday didn’t look great.

11 different UVA sports teams have started their seasons.

The Hoos are currently nationally ranked in 10 of those 11.
