Frankly, if Texas, Texasized us this year than there isn't a brain to be shared on the whole team. Anyone with any kind of accumen for football can look at this team and see talent and danger. Not a single team in the country would look at this team this year and take it lightly. Not Florida State. Not Alabama. Not Oregon. And not Texas.

But when all of the things that we fans obsess about are discounted...which account for about maybe 15-20% of any given contest...ultimately it comes down to the team who has the preponderance of the best players. This year's team has a lot of them. And we have them on both sides of the ball. In spite of the haters, we also have good coaches...and we have good coaches who now have a year of continuity under their belt. And finally, we have a winner and a warrior at the single most important position.

Virginia is a very good team this year. We will not take them lightly. But if both teams play to their capability we win at home, we win on a neutral field, and we win most of the time at their house. Why? Because we are a more complete team this year...and that's what prevails most of the time.

Virginia is a good team and we will not take them lightly. They are going to have to hope for us making the same types of mistakes we made against Houston...and they don't have as much offense to take advantage of them. They are probably a better team overall than Houston, but their strengths play to ours and I don't believe they have the advantages in area to beat us in Provo at altitude.
