Their ability to pressure opposing QBs has been ferocious, earning the 14th highest PFF pass rush grade in the country while allowing 18 PPG (17th).

That’s a major issue since Louisville’s defense has been an absolute wagon this year, ranking 7th in EPA/Play and 13th overall with a 35% success rate. When asked about the backup freshman’s level of preparedness, UVA HC Tony Elliott said “It’s a challenge to prepare anybody in a short week to be honest with you,” It’s pretty reasonable to speculate that Colandrea will start this Thursday, as it’s a big ask for Muskett to return on a short week with a high ankle sprain. Colandrea has shown extreme difficulty handling the pass rush, ranking 137th out of 144 FBS quarterbacks in PFF Passing Grade under pressure. He started three games earlier in the year and sports a 60% completion rate, but his ball security was too much to handle averaging two interceptions per start.

This line has steadily shot up, for good reason, after Virginia QB Tony Muskett suffered a high ankle sprain and was replaced by freshman signal caller, and progressive rock legend, Anthony “Coheed and” Colandrea (5’11/180).
