We do this after each game of a UVA Football season – take a deep dive into the stats, like snap counts, details in the passing game, how the lines did their jobs.
There was a lot to like in the 34-8 win over NC State on Saturday.
The data come from Pro Football Focus.
The organization comes from me.
