Following a solid Week 1 win over Duke, the Cavaliers have stumbled to three consecutive double-digit defeats. Poor execution late and turnovers have felled this club, which is still better than its record indicates. Virginia should be desperate and focused against a Miami club that beat Pitt last week despite a demeanor that suggested it was going through the motions. The Hurricanes will be in trouble Saturday if they overlook Virginia.

Virginia has had trouble defensively, giving up far too many big plays. Miami is coming off a solid win against Pitt, in which the Hurricanes bested the Panthers in all three phases of the game. It was a really good showing after their embarrassing loss to Clemson. Look for the Canes to put the clamps on the Cavaliers' offensive attack.
