We have reached the midpoint in the 2014-15 college football season, and Virginia sits at 4-2 as it enters its bye week. Thus, with no game to preview, we here at Cavalier Daily Sports thought it would be fun to break down various position groups performance through the first six weeks of the year. So with that, members of this fine University, I have the high privilege and distinct honor of presenting to you the State of the Hoo-nion Address.

This Saturday evening, when the Virginia football team (3-2, 1-0 ACC) takes on Pittsburgh (3-2, 1-0 ACC), Scott Stadium will be the place to be. Following a third-quarter coast to victory over non-conference opponent Kent State, Virginia recognizes that a win Saturday versus an ACC coastal division foe would be an even bigger step in the right direction.
