  Draft Scout by Conference









  Down a point at the half on the road against a team it knew it had to beat if it wanted to legitimately contend in the Atlantic Coast Conference, Virginia coach Bronco Mendenhall wondered how his players would react. The answer may have provided the foundation for what the Cavaliers hope is a breakout season. Virginia overwhelmed Pittsburgh in the second half of a 30-14 victory on Saturday night, a performance in which the Cavaliers showed Mendenhall how far they've come in his three-plus years on the job. "The program just looks more seasoned," Mendenhall said. "There weren't the wild ups and the wild downs and the crazy miscues. It just looks like we are maturing, a more seasoned program."

One that finally pushed back after largely getting pushed around by the Panthers since Pitt joined the ACC in 2013. The Panthers won five of the previous six meetings largely by manhandling Virginia when it mattered. Not this time. The Cavaliers sacked Pitt quarterback Kenny Pickett four times, picked him off twice and rarely let him get comfortable. "We knew each game was going to come down to who was more physical, who wants it more," Virginia quarterback Bryce Perkins said. "That's exactly what happened. The last few years, they were more physical than us. I think this year we made an emphasis to be more physical than them." Perkins threw for 181 yards and two touchdowns and the Cavaliers (1-0, 1-0 ACC) took advantage of a series of Panther miscues to win in Pittsburgh for the first time in program history. - AP College Football
