Cavalier football fans are venting on TheSabre.com today, trying to realign expectations after a surprising hot start to the season came to an end Saturday against N.C. State. The UVA football team was looking for its seventh straight win against a team that didn’t have a single conference victory prior to yesterday, but with quarterback Jameel Sewell injured late in the game, the ‘Hoos couldn’t muster a last-minute drive and fell 29-24. It’s the first conference loss for UVA (7-2), which still can win the ACC Coastal Division if the Cavs can beat remaining opponents Wake Forest, Miami and Virginia Tech.
