Here's an except from today's article by David Teel (award winning columnist) in the Richmond Times Dispatch on Pitt's win at UVA.
"Just understand that while this is not a vintage ACC season, the conference has considerable quality. Moreover, Tuesday's result at John Paul Jones Arena was more an endorsement of Pitt than an indictment of UVa.
The Panthers, you see, are good, and against the Cavaliers (19-6, 10-4 ACC) they were exceptional. No one should have been stunned.
Pitt (16-8, 7-6) has won six of its past seven games. Four of those victories came on the road, two versus ranked opponents (Duke and Virginia).
Good luck finding a team with two more impressive road conquests.
Winning at Cameron Indoor Stadium is a chore for anyone, and all the Cavaliers had done was win 23 consecutive home games, the nation's longest active run, and limit 48 straight visiting ACC opponents to fewer than 70 points, streaks the Panthers emphatically snapped.
The last ACC teams to win at Duke and UVa in the same season? North Carolina and Florida State 12 years ago."
H2P!
