As expected. The Ohio State fans were pretty funny. Mike London was a great hire for UVA because of his ability to get these playmakers from territory that used to be 100% Virginia Tech.

Virginia has historically been a very "underrated" state for talent which is why Virginia Tech was always so routinely good. Now the athletes are getting their due and it's becoming harder to keep the studs in state... just look at this year:

#1, #4, and #7 overall players in the country per 247 are from Virginia. And if you start factoring in DC and MD it gets really crazy how much talent there.
