Let's be real here about UVA ....

UVA's only advantage is playmakers on D that force turnovers.

boscatar

9/18/14 10:49am

UVA will create turnovers and shut down our run...

CougarinOZ

Turnovers and lack of scoring are my biggest concerns vs UVA

Jericho

What about their 50% completion rate or 3.5 ypc worry you?

joehayes

9/18/14 1:54pm

Like I said, not particularly worried about their offense

Jericho

9/18/14 2:06pm

#7 on their D made the O-line look silly last year. He's a player.

I would dispute #1, they have a very good defense

That 'unspectacular' defense gave up only one offensive score to Ucla

QuickCoug

UCLA has been terrible, so yes, solid but not great would be accurate

joehayes

9/18/14 10:56am

UCLA offense hasn't exactly impressed so far

cu-coug

9/18/14 10:57am

It also gave up 422 yards to FCS Richmond and 21 points at home to Louisville.

boscatar

9/18/14 10:58am

Their defense is opportunistic. It's strength of causing turnovers against

bald man

9/18/14 10:50am

They are better than UH and we see what happened in that game.

Singcat

9/18/14 10:52am

Two or three of their players might have the sickle cell trait. Advantage BYU.

The Lone Wolf

9/18/14 10:54am

You are way off on #s 1 and 4

Y Mountain

9/18/14 10:59am

No, no I'm not ... especially #4 .....

joehayes

9/18/14 11:03am

I think we win, but UVa's defense is spectacular. They are 2012 BYU.

Y Mountain

9/18/14 11:16am

Their D is not spectacular. It is good, it is certainly not spectacular.

joehayes

9/18/14 11:19am

7 of those 13 turnovers came against The University of Richmond Spiders

pellegrino

9/18/14 2:04pm

I think you may be underestimaing their defense. They apparently lead the county

BearsandBulls

9/18/14 11:16am

They are better than UCONN, whom we beat 35-10

Jericho

9/18/14 11:18am

Worse than Texas who we beat 41 - 7 though ....

joehayes

9/18/14 11:27am

We thumped Texas because they have a matchup problem with us

Jericho

9/18/14 11:28am

UVA will have a matchup problem with us, same as Texas ....

joehayes

9/18/14 11:35am

I'd like that, but I dont see it happening

Jericho

9/18/14 12:01pm

#3 is only a slight advantage made more significant by the pace of our offense.

tony

9/18/14 1:53pm

They may not be a great team, but UVA has some great players

Don't Forget Cross-Country Travel--Advantage BYU

Altitude didn't stop FSU in 2009

MarylandFan

9/18/14 3:43pm

FSU was a lot better than UV

joehayes

9/18/14 3:49pm

That's probably true (Ponder was rather dreamy)

MarylandFan

9/18/14 3:55pm

Its relevant, FSU was just a much better team than BYU ... Altitude makes a

joehayes

9/18/14 3:57pm

Is altitude really a huge advantage?

NacoCoug

9/18/14 4:03pm

Of course, it's unfair, just look at how Colorado and Colorado St. dominate

Reedme

9/18/14 5:01pm

Wrong, they have a spectacular defense

Jomo

9/18/14 4:39pm

Wrong.

joehayes

9/19/14 8:41am

I thought so, too. But, when you take a harder look at the actual statistics...

BearsandBulls

9/19/14 9:31am

UVA will be very tough to beat in my opinion

mindzeYe

9/18/14 5:26pm

Every team is the best team we've played until we beat them

How quickly we forget.

They're definitely better than last year, but so are we.
