soooooo according to loluva fans the reason they ran the ball on 3rd and 10 was because "the quarterback misread the play number on his arm band". What was it one of the coaches said over the offseason about UVA? I believe it was just "they find a way to lose" god I wish I could have watched that game.

timecop said he read the wrong play. IMO there shouldn't be two plays that are that close in names/#'s and have 2 different options. That's just UVA Dumb.
What's worse, is that he threw his own QB under the bus like that. A good coach would have said something along the lines of "there was a miscommunication" and "we need to do a better job of getting the right plays to our players". A good coach will fall on the sword for his guy knowing full well that it was actually the players fault, not put the blame squarely on the QB and the QB alone.
... A good coach ...
Loluva
The irony here was that London said he didn't have a QB controversy like VT did, and in the end his defense actually did really well considering and his offense lost the game.
Joking aside, UVA played a heck of a game against a talented team that rolled us 9 months ago.
I'll give them that. They made UCLA work for it, but I like to tell myself UCLA was suffering from jet lag and a noon kickoff (9am LA time).
To me, it was very reminiscent of our game against Bama. Their defense dominated the other team's offense, but three non-offensive TDs did them in. I gained a lot of respect for their defense today.
Yup. Fortunately, I expect them to do LOLuva things against us
I want them to do well enough to think that they can beat us and maybe have a shot at a post-season, just so we can crush their dreams. I also want them to do well enough so that playing them does not kill our strength of schedule.
Their defence did*
They played well, but UCLA was infuriatingly inconsistent. The offensive line played like utter crap, and too many drives stalled when perfectly-thrown balls bounced off receivers' hands. UVA's defense is no joke, but I'm more doubtful of UCLA's ranking than I am of Hoo lol-ness at this point. I could definitely see another 16-6 type deal in Lane this year on Black Friday.
The hoo's lol-ness should never be in doubt. They are an embarrassment to the state of virginia
Im more hoping for a 38-0 (or more than 38) bro margin of victory. I know I'm probably overexaggerating our offensive skills after today's game but Brewer really impressed me and made great decisions when under pressure.
uva played hard in that game in their home field. Vt probably would've defeated this UCLA team at lane stadium.
A lot of teams (obviously not LOLUVA) would have crushed UCLA yesterday, the way they played.
I don't know if I can emphasize enough just how awful UCLA looked. I'm not impressed at all with LOLUVA for "nearly" winning that game. Any decent team would have beaten the ever-living snot out of UCLA if they had played that poorly like they did yesterday. The sad thing is, they probably won't even drop out of the top ten since they won. Just like South Carolina will still be ranked as well, despite fielding a defense that couldn't stop an 80 year old grandma.
I thought UVA's defense looked pretty solid, which was weird. Also, Matt Johns looked competent, which begged the question, why was Greyson Lambert the starter in the first place?
Then there were other decisions that were just extremely questionable. Going on 4th and 10 just inside your kickers range, and then kicking it on 4th and 2 inside then ten (when your defense has been looking pretty solid). Running on 3rd and 10 when your running game has looked aenemic all day long.
Just in general, yesterdays UVA team looked like a team that could give the Hokies fits. But then Mike London happened. After that I felt pretty okay.
For what it's worth when I turned on the game at about 12:10, about a minute was off the clock in the first quarter. UVA already had burned a timeout. All I could think was, "Timecop, you glorious bastard."
I think we hurt his feelings
But if their run game is anemic there is no way their recievers will do any damage to the Hokie secondary!
