Tracking Opponents: Week 2's Final Scores, Recaps and Analysis of UVa's Competition

Virginia Tech's win over Ohio State was the attention-grabbing result of the weekend, but 11 other teams also saw action this weekend. Let's get this show started.

UCLA (2-0; 42-35 W over Memphis)

Mora's UCLA Bruins Still Can't Play Complete Game, Barely Beat Unranked Memphis, 42-35 - Bruins Nation
Bruins Nation is starting to take a long, hard look in the mirror. "UCLA still can't figure out how to put together a complete game, with Memphis' offense carving up the Bruin defense in a way that was reminiscent of the worst years under Chuck Bullough's incompetent tenure as defensive coordinator."

The Morning After, Part 2: Memphis - Bruins Nation
"The bottom line is that, right now, it's tough to be a UCLA football fan. Sure, the team is 2-0, but both wins have been so ugly that everyone's expectations have to be lower than just a few weeks ago."

Richmond (1-1; 45-13 L to UVA)

BYU (2-0; 41-7 W over Texas)

BYU Football: Halftime adjustments key to Cougars' victory over Texas - Vanquish The Foe
A slow first half led to drastic halftime changes for BYU: "To be honest, we just kind of relaxed for a little bit, reset our minds for a new quarter like we were starting a new game. (The coaches) had some of us change our socks. They got that idea from basketball players. They do it at halftime to mentally reset their minds."

Kent State (0-2; 23-13 L to South Alabama)

Kent State University Athletics - Inconsistency Haunts Flashes in Loss to South Alabama
The Golden Flashes watched too many negative plays either stall their own drives or extend their opponent's. After struggling to move the chains for most of the day, their offense created sparks of hope late in both halves.  On defense, the Flashes forced the Jaguars to punt on five consecutive second-half possessions before finally wearing down on a game-sealing touchdown march in the final minutes.

Pitt (2-0; 30-20 W over Boston College)

A strong rushing game for Pitt led to a more dominating performance than the final score would suggest.

Duke (2-0; 34-17 W over Troy)

"The game followed the same rough pattern as so many did last year: Duke started roughly even or behind the opponent but as the game went on, Duke pulled away."

UNC (2-0; 31-27 W over San Diego State)

The Good, Bad, and Ugly Report: San Diego State - Tar Heel Blog
UNC's defense kept the Tar Heels in the game until the offense could wake up, and then the defense made a final stand to preserve the victory.
