Virginia's run-first formula will be tested by passing demands.
Context
Virginia ran the ball relentlessly, used play action, and asked Pribula to throw only about ten or eleven times. That is a coherent way to win when the offensive line and defense are controlling the game, and Week 0 showed why the formula is attractive.
The concern is sustainability. If Pribula is also the primary running threat, he will take repeated hits, and a better opponent will eventually make Virginia prove that its passing game can create answers. The show's current Virginia posture is bullish on the identity but conditional on keeping Pribula available and expanding the offense when needed.
