  • Its awesome. A nice thing I noticed was both Ant's and Canady's picks were returned for big yards, thats a huge plus with that.

    I need to go back to Oregon. A Double Mountain IRA (IPA/Red hybrid) sounds so awesome at the moment. While making dinner, I did enjoy a few Red Hoptobers, however.

  • Most impressive stat: UVA has held their last 3 opponents to 235 yards or less the last 3 games. Guys, that is very impressive. I think we are improving.

    I think the amazing thing about that stat is that we are only 1-2 in those games. I wonder what the probability of that is?

  • I really liked the staff getting the ball to Jennings on the screens. We have to get Jennings going. He's one of our most gifted playmakers.

    Opponents now 12 of their last 60 on 3rd down against this D.

    That's pretty amazing.

    That's pretty amazing.

    I also have a hunch that it's not as if the overwhelming majority of those 60 are 3rd-and-longs. Would love to be able to see our 3rd-downs broken down into mode/mean/median distance faced by opposing offenses.

  • Double Mountain is an awesome brewery.

  • As usual, Aaron Mc Farling does a great job capturing the essense of it...

    BTW, I hope we can get Kamara and start fielding a group of tall, athletic wideouts ala FSU, et als. Love Jennings but the Smurfs have too small a strike zone on crossing patterns and its easier to overpower them.

    You mint be confused with Kwontie Moore who has played on ST this season. I dont see CJ in the participation report and Ithink London has been quoted as wanting to keep his shirt intact.
