CAVALIERS HOST SOUTH CAROLINA: After a 15-year hiatus, Virginia renews its rivalry with South Carolina this week. When the Gamecocks were members of the ACC (1953-70), this was an annual gridiron battle, but the teams have only met twice in the last 20 years.
Virginia is looking for its first win of the season after its first 0-2 start since 1987. The Cavaliers lost at No. 5 Florida State, 40-19, last Saturday. The Wahoos fell behind 33-0 before cutting into the deficit behind Matt Schaub’s three fourth quarter touchdown passes.
South Carolina opened its season with a 34-24 win at home over New Mexico State. The Gamecocks scored two touchdowns early in the fourth quarter to push the lead from 20-7 to 34-17 en route to the win.
