If the University of Virginia is playing football, there's a good chance ESPNU is carrying the game.
U.Va.'s Sept. 27 game at Duke will start at noon and be televised by ESPNU, the ACC announced yesterday. That will be the third consecutive U.Va. game shown on ESPNU, which isn't widely available in this state.
Virginia (1-2) is off this weekend, as is Duke (2-1). Neither has played an ACC game this season. The Blue Devils have lost 25 straight conference games, but they're likely to be favored Sept. 27 at Wallace Wade Stadium.
The Cavaliers lost 45-10 at Connecticut on Saturday night, and quarterback Peter Lalich was held out of the game. Lalich, who started Virginia's first two games, has a Sept. 26 court date, and it's not clear if he'll play against Duke.
Three UConn players, incidentally, were honored yesterday for their performances against U.Va. Tailback Donald Brown, who rushed for 206 yards and three touchdowns, is the Big East offensive player of the week, and cornerback Darius Butler and quarterback Tyler Lorenzen made the conference's weekly honor roll.
In addition to playing defense, Butler ran 13 yards for a touchdown, caught two passes for 40 yards and returned two kickoffs for 49 yards.
Lorenzen tormented Virginia with his running and passing. He completed his first 11 passes Saturday night.
