Since the beginning of 2017, we have 24 points or less in 76% of the games (13 out of 17) against Power 5 competition, and we are 6-7 in those games.
We are now ranked at 83rd in the country for points per game this year with 25.8 points per game - tied with Miami.
I understand that there are other phases of the game that have to work in our favor to pull out a victory, but we lack the firepower for our offense to carry the team if needed.

UVA
I feared the worst when comparing to UVA.... The second stat is telling of the differences in our defenses - in low scoring games, we've had more success with winning because of our defense, UVA loses more) However, their offense and our offense, from a 'points perspective' are almost identical.
