Virginia might be for lovers but it's not much on touchdowns. The Cavs are not a very good football team once again, to no one's surprise. After a 42-13 win over FCS member Richmond in Week 1, the Cavaliers headed to fellow doormat Indiana last week and fell 20-16, surrendering 204 rushing yards to freshman Stevie Scott. The Cavs should bounce back this week at home against the Ohio Bobcats, who were off last week after opening with a 38-32 defeat of Howard.

Virginia's rushing game has looked strong so far this season, churning out 244 yards per game (33rd in the nation) with quarterback Bryce Perkins (38 carries, 231 yards) leading the way. Jordan Ellis has chipped in 209 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Perkins has completed 52 percent of passes for 291 yards with four touchdowns and one interception. Olamide Zaccheaus is his favorite target, snagging 11 receptions for 116 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Hasise Dubois has seven receptions for 85 yards and a TD.
Ohio turned to backup quarterback Quinton Maxwell in the opener and he delivered, completing 17 of 25 passes for 233 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed for two TDs. Papi White had a big game as well, snagging eight passes for 154 yards and a touchdown. A.J. Ouellette added 58 yards on the ground for the Bobcats. Stopping the Cavs could be a significant issue for Ohio as it allowed a whopping 645 yards to Howard, including 484 through the air.

This Virginia team could not slow down the Hoosiers offense even with the help of downpour and think this week Cavaliers have nearly as difficult time with good Ohio team. Bobcats have real shot at upset but grab the points just in case. Final Score Prediction, Ohio Bobcats win outright in upset 26-23.
