The Cavaliers (3-7, 2-4 ACC) didn't take an opportunity to play spoiler against Boston College last week in a 14-10 loss. The Cavaliers have a chance to spoil something even more significant this Saturday when they visit Clemson (7-3, 5-2). The Tigers lead the Atlantic Division, and they can clinch it and a trip to the ACC title game with a win over the Cavaliers.
If Virginia wants to play the spoiler role, it has to find a way to slow down Clemson all-purpose star running back C.J. Spiller.
Spiller needs just 140 all-purpose yards to become the fifth player in NCAA history to reach 7,000 all-purpose yards. Cavaliers head coach Al Groh said Spiller is "maybe as great as we've seen in this conference in a long time."
"He's unique in his overall skill set," Groh said. "He's clearly a dynamic, hard-to-get-on-the-ground runner. His kick-return record speaks for itself. He's got two touchdown passes on his resume, one of which we witnessed. He's got touchdown catches. He is the true all-purpose threat."
