Virginia football prepares for Delaware after loss to West Virginia

The University of Virginia football team is preparing to face Delaware following a 38-27 loss to West Virginia. The defeat has raised questions regarding the Cavaliers' ability to contend for the ACC championship or a spot in the College Football Playoff.

Virginia faces several roster challenges heading into Week 4. The team will be without defensive tackle Jason Hammond for the foreseeable future, and star guard Noah Josey is dealing with an injury. The team's recent performance highlighted defensive vulnerabilities, specifically in the secondary and the ability to stop the run, as West Virginia recorded 247 rushing yards.

Meanwhile, West Virginia head coach Rich Rodriguez provided injury updates for several key players following their victory. While players like Nick Krahe and Jaden Bray experienced setbacks, Rodriguez indicated they should be available for the upcoming contest against Oklahoma State, despite some limitations in practice.
