The Huskies are 18-37 against current members of the ACC.LONG ROAD HOMEVirginia has logged more than 6,000 miles over the last week, travelling to Oregon and back to the East Coast. This is the first time since 2003 that the team has played back-to-back non-conference games on the road. Its also the first time UVa has played two non-conference games away from home in the same season since 2007.DUAL THREATUConn quarterback Bryant Shirreffs is the Huskies leading passer and rusher so far this season. Shirreffs set a single-game record for completion percentage against Navy, connecting on 23 of 26 passes (88.4 percent).
