Handing out letter grades to break down Virginia's 48-31 loss at No. 10 Clemson.
on Saturday afternoon, falling to 4-3 overall and 2-2 in ACC play. As we break down what we saw from the Hoos in their loss at Clemson and what it means moving forward, let's hand out some report card grades for various players, position groups, and other categories to help evaluate Virginia's performance in week 8.
One administrative note before we begin: we're not going to go overboard on downgrading UVA's performance on Saturday. Despite the Cavaliers taking a 10-3 lead in the second quarter, there really wasn't a chance that they were going to walk away from Death Valley with a win. These programs just aren't close to being on the same level right now and that's okay.
Muskett's productivity against the Clemson second and third teamers in the last few minutes of the game inflated the stats, but Virginia's receivers struggled to get separation throughout the game, even on short routes, and Colandrea faced consistent pressure from Clemson's pass rush so long-developing deep routes weren't really an option. 12 different UVA players caught a pass, but there were no standout performances.
