After a close loss to Louisville in which they had a lead in the fourth quarter, Virginia football will look to rebound Saturday when they travel down to No. 10 Clemson.

This game will be a herculean challenge for Virginia — but if the defense continues to thrive and the red zone offense steps up, then the Cavaliers stand a fighting chance. This contest is pivotal — especially as Virginia inches closer towards bowl game eligibility.
