Relieved is the operative word.

pretty happy. We're probably not as good as I and others expected based on the first three games. "Escaping" that game with a win really helps getting us to bowl eligibility. We're still in the hunt to figure things out and I will accept that for now.

"after that game I feel..." Sick To My Stomach. 13-10 and the only TD was a QB leap into the endzone?

fortunate that this team is 2-1 considering how we've played these first 3 games.

Troubling to see us getting beaten in the trenches as much as we were today. And let's face it, some fortuitous calls bailed us out on our only TD drive.

...that within a few seconds we could be 3-0 and looking at votes for top 25 or we could have be 0-3. Hard to get a handle on how I feel though I have to admit I rather be in every game then being blown out like in years past.

Our all time record against UVA is now 3-0. Not bad.

Right now I feel like I would sign on for another six win season if offered. I wasn't one of the people predicting 8 wins before the season, but I thought by 3 games the team would at least appear to be progressing.

Like we escaped. We turned it over too often, we can't run, Newsome was evidently captured by aliens and replaced by someone who runs like Tom Brady, and the D gives up too many big pass plays.

Even with that, we won, and should be 3-0. They need to play 60 minutes of good football, not 24.

Last year our biggest advantage was turnover differential. It hides a lot of things that aren't going well. Now the mask has been pulled off and it ain't pretty. Our two wins are in spite of our coaching staff... their improvements are far behind the kids.

This team finds ways to win. It ain't pretty, often ugly but the players have no quit in them. If Diaco didn't have his head up his ass against Navy, we'd be 3-0. I'm not a Diaco fan but I'm still giving him time to mature as a HC. The O line has to get it in gear. The team has to get off to stronger starts. That should be HCBD's immediate focus, IMO.

I laughed when UVA missed the FG at the end because it was funny and ironic. In previous seasons I've also laughed at our own ineptness - I know I'm happier laughing at the other side so I'll take it.

I feel extremely worried and frankly (pun intended) pissed off that we can't run an offense and score points in the modern era where rules have made it so much easier to put up points.

BTW - nobody could score in the LSU / Wisconsin game - and I had a good time there also.

The fact that pretty much the entire offense returned and is still this bad is very disturbing.

I think a lot of that is on the offensive line. My hope is that the line can jell because everyone is playing a different spot except Knappe. Well that is my hope at least.
