old and linebacker Max Valles both
opted to enter the NFL Draft early af-
ter combining for 16 of the team's 34
sacks in 2014. The strength is the sec-
ondary with sophomore safety Quin
Blanding, a five-star recruit.
The offense returns six starters but
must replace top running back Kevin
Parks and wide receiver Darius Jen-
nings. Quarterback Greyson Lambert
has thrown more interceptions (13)
than touchdowns (11) and has mi-
nus-61 rushing yards.
SUMMARY: The Cavs can be thought
of as this year's Purdue on the sched-
ule. The Boilermakers are usually out-
manned, but have a knack of playing
at a high level against the Irish. We
expect the same from Virginia on its
home turf.
10. AT TEMPLE (6-6)
REVIEWING 2014: Highlights included
the opening game 37-7 thrashing of
Vanderbilt and a 20-10 upset of East
Carolina, which had put up 70 points
Safety Quin Blanding, a five-star recruit in 2014, led Virginia in tackles (123) as a freshman.
