Virginia Game Thread

We might not win this game but I want to see us come out of the half making adjustments and at least looking competitive. That's lvl I'm looking for out of this game.

Anyone coming into this season thinking we were going to be good or even decent are getting their wake up call if they didn't get it during our game vs HC.

We're not that good and it's going to take a season or two to turn this around

How bout his noodle arm, or terrible ball security, or inability to read a defense, or missing wide open WRs, or just his overall lack of ability

How about answering the actual question?
BTW I think he reads the defense well... They are on him in under a second each snap.

The OLine aint the problem today

I chose to postpone mowing the yard to tomorrow and miss NFL for this. Still not mowing the yard! I'll stick out the second half for now

You are right! it isn't a talent issue.. just need bigger tougher and better players.
 
Putting the blinders on, it should be 17-14 Virginia. I pray for some second half resurrection like last game. Side note, I also agree with the comment about wanting to have played usf to get the ass kicking out and learn/progress some more before playing a completely winnable game.
 
The fumble inside the five. That is almost always a game killer. It's how we beat West Virginia.

Interestingly, a fumble inside the 5-yard line (same end zone) by Hernandez (playing WR) was a killer at Virginia ten years ago.

He's responsible for two horrible red zone turnovers. There are a lot of problems but your statement is not true in the slightest.

Your frustration or lack of football knowledge is showing, Dove.

Mayala clearly ran the wrong route. Left BS hanging. Coaches were in Mayala's face immediately.

And the fumble, yeah that sucks. But he is also the guys who just ran the ball all the way downfield to get to that spot and that key hit. I don't think you minded all those yards and the aggressiveness to get there, did you? Fumbles as a byproduct of effort happen, deal with it.

Another example of uconn making their opponent look like NC contenders.

Who knew UVA was this Good? Head bang

The most frustrating thing is the lack of recognition of the plays coming at them. UVA (and every opponent) has 4-5 yd gains in their pockets before we even react. When they do reach the ball in the back field or at the line they miss the tackle badly. Then there is the 8yd pitch and catches to WR with no UConn player even in the frame. I'm not kidding about the chairs. If you play press coverage with a chair there is at least a small chance the offensive player will trip over it. Out D is actively vacating the space.
 
BS inclination will always be to run if he has an option to do so. He made some good runs but it's never sustainable due to turnovers and receivers quitting on their routes because they seldom see the ball. The overall problem is definitely lack of talent. Swain is one bright spot.

Shoemate pretty much never saw the field again after his.

UVA has more talent, more speed and more depth on both sides of the ball. This score should not be a surprise to anyone. Any time we play teams from the big boy P5 conferences we're going to be in trouble. To be quite honest, with our current talent, we would be a lower level Team in the MAC.

MAC? Try lower tier FCS. Its who we barely beat and have lost to in the past few years. The program has zero speed. They can't get to the QB they can't keep up with WR's. RB's get stuffed at the Line... can't get the edge. As far as offense.... when Bryan Sheriffs is the best option on the field STILL this program has SERIOUS SERIOUS talent issues.

Difference is that a fumble inside the 5 should be, and in those cases was the difference in a close game.

Now it leads to us getting blown out
 
Newsome is our best offensive weapon and one of the only true FBS talent players and he barely touches the ball.

Remember that silver lining thread about having an extra week off somehow helping us? It didn't and we needed to work out a lot of things early in the season that can only be diagnosed in game situations. The mistakes aren't entirely unexpected but the turnovers were totally avoidable. The week off was a big downer for a team trying to recover from Diaco-ball.
 
Pujals cannot throw at all so far vs New Hampshire, as an aside.

This is the worst secondary we have had since joining the FBS.

Yes, this is rather puzzling. Are we to believe Lashlee can't find a way to get him the ball in space?

Unfortunately, Newsome + poopy Oline play = -2 yards every play.
