Jekail Middlebrook leads the Cavaliers with 154 yards and 1 touchdown on 35 rushing attempts.

Delaware vs Virginia Pick

Delaware has a legitimate passing attack capable of testing Virginia’s secondary. Minicucci has 2 productive receivers in Wilson and Lofton, giving the Blue Hens enough explosiveness to prevent Virginia from focusing on one target. The Cavaliers should control the line of scrimmage and produce consistent rushing yards, but covering more than 20 points against Delaware is a difficult assignment. Virginia should eventually pull away, although the Blue Hens can score enough to cover and send the game over the total.
