The way in which the Cavaliers' game plays out on Friday against Florida State will be telling. This is shaping up to be the most challenging game of the season for both teams thus far.

UVA head coach Tony Elliott highlighted the primary factors that will put his program to the test:

"One cut guys. So it looks like the offensive line is creating a lot of space. The backs understand where the aiming points are. They can find the air in the defense, and then they really challenge you with their speed sweeps and ability to get the ball on the perimeter. They got a lot of decide plays, they put different players in conflict so they're just, I mean,they're doing what Gus [Malzahn] has always done and he makes you defend every inch of the field from sideline to sideline, from end zone to end zone and he's got a quarterback that can make all the throws when he needs to."

The outcome of the matchup will largely depend on which defense can drive its heels in the most. There are little to no doubts regarding he offensive units on either side — both programs are equipped with consistent and reliable offenses. The uncertainty has more to do with the defense than anything.

Virginia has welcomed back some of their greatest defensive assets, namely Kam Robinson, who will certainly aid the team. With that being said, the remaining players will need to step it up in order to support Robinson in his role.
