suffered its first loss of the season on Saturday night, falling to Maryland 27-13 at home. The Cavaliers had the upper hand for much of the first half, but struggled mightily in the second half, particularly offensively, and the Terrapins outscored UVA 20-0 after halftime to secure the road win.
As we break down what we saw from the Cavaliers in their first defeat of the season and what it means for the rest of the year, let's hand out some report card grades for various players, position groups, and other categories to help evaluate Virginia's performance in week 3.The highs and lows of the Anthony Colandrea quarterback experience. There was some evidence in the first two games that he had improved in his decision-making and ball security entering his sophomore year.
Late in the first quarter, a 45-yard pass to Trell Harris gave the Cavaliers first and goal from the 6-yard line. Kobe Pace ran the ball for four yards to the 2 and then the Cavaliers attempted two passes, both falling incomplete, before settling for a 19-yard chip shot from Will Bettridge. On their next drive, the Cavaliers again reached the red zone, but more immediate pressure on Colandrea forced a throwaway and another short field goal.
