Verica, Burd form quite the duo

Virginia quarterback Marc Verica completed 24 of 35 passes for 283 yards and a touchdown in today's win over Richmond.  More importantly, he wasn't intercepted.

Wideout Kris Burd was the favorite target, hauling in seven balls for 122 yards and the lone touchdown.  Verica has been the brunt of jokes this off season, and yes, this was against an FCS opponent.  But Verica didn't look like the turnover prone droid he was two seasons ago.  If Hawaii showed us anything, Verica may offer a sneaky, yet scary, starting option next weekend in Los Angeles.
