Barber: Belief in Virginia football hard to come by after Wake drubbing

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) – Beau Pribula sounded as tired of saying it as Virginia fans are of hearing it. “Unfortunately, we’re here again saying we didn’t come up with points in the red zone,” Pribula said after UVA took a 51-7 whooping from Wake Forest on Saturday. “Again we’re saying that we didn’t convert fourth and shorts when we got there.”

College Football Corner: Halloween can’t mask subpar seasons for Maryland, Navy, and Virginia

Dave Preston is an AP Top 25 voter. Read his ballots here. College football’s “Moving Month” wrapped up Saturday with multiple local Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) schools continuing to move in the wrong direction. The month that saw the end of the Mike Locksley era at Maryland also saw Virginia slide from the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) contender to pretender, Navy’s postseason hopes evaporate, and James Madison go from College Football Playoff hopeful to a team not ready for prime time. I have a feeling the light at the end of the tunnel in November (aka “Closing Month”) might just be an oncoming train.
