#GoACC Power Rankings: Week 12

By Fritz Metzinger | November 19, 2013

Considering that drawing conclusions may count as premature and that every conference sport endures a #GoACC week every now and then, we’re devoting one last edition of power rankings to the wacky tragicomedy that is 2013 ACC Football. If we’re going to wallow in the stench, anyway, we might as well do so while discussing the way “Duke controls its own destiny in the ACC Coastal” and “Virginia Tech has to cheer for Virginia this week” are real and true things.

Mediocre Kombat

By Kerry Mitchell | November 13, 2013

Another week, another loss. Another football season all but gone down the drain, and the fans are screaming for the coach’s head. This sounds familiar. Before Mike London’s arrival in Charlottesville, Virginia fans were equally outraged with then-head coach Al Groh.

Virginia, impact freshman relish UNC challenge

By Kristen Cauley | November 6, 2013

Searching for a silver lining amid a six-game losing streak might seem futile as the Virginia football team travels to Chapel Hill to face North Carolina this weekend, but it is not impossible to find. Although the Tar Heels (3-5, 2-3 ACC) just registered a 27-19 victory against NC State, they lost senior quarterback Bryn Renner to a season-ending shoulder injury.

Watford, receivers let loose in loss

By Zack Bartee | October 26, 2013

The Cavaliers tested Georgia Tech deep early and often, with David Watford slinging the ball around the field after weeks of conservative, run-heavy play-calling. They may not have hit on all or even most of their attempts, but the important part was that they were trying, right?

Reeling Virginia hosts Homecomings game

By Jacob Hochberger | October 23, 2013

In the midst of a four-game losing streak, increased attention is perhaps not what the Virginia football team wants. But with their Saturday game against Georgia Tech falling during Homecomings, the Cavaliers will have to attempt to right the ship in front of expectant alumni.

A tired script: Virginia football MadLibs

By Kerry Mitchell | October 22, 2013

Week in and week out, our team treats us to the same performance, and we sportswriters treat you, the audience, to the same coverage. The season is not even over, but it looks to be — what a surprise, more of the same.

A tale of two teams

By Zack Bartee | October 20, 2013

It was the best of teams, it was the worst of teams. We had everything before us, we had nothing before us. I’m not sure if Charles Dickens was trying to warn Virginia football fans about the trying times they would face in his — slightly paraphrased — opening line of “A Tale of Two Cities,” but the immortal words seem to fit the situation quite well.
