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

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

boscatar

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

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

#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

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

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

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

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

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

You are way off on #s 1 and 4

Y Mountain

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

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.

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

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.

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

Is altitude really a huge advantage?

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

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

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.
