Shot-from-the-hip observations

Edit: Moved to the front because they are great discussion points.

- Beforehand, I promised myself that I wouldn't get that upset if we lost. Considering how we started the season, where we ended up was pretty incredible. I didn't think we'd win a game this year walking out of Lane after JMU. Still, I'm upset with how we looked, especially in that 2nd half. I'll enjoy Tyrod' ridiculous TD pass for a while, but will do my best to forget the absolute nothing we did in the 2nd half.

- Let's look on the bright side: Ryan had like 3 carries. No stage to show off for the NFL. I feel like if he was on the fence about going or staying, tonight should help him decide to return.

- 8 sacks. Come on. I don't know shit about football but is a 3-4 that much different or difficult to defend? UVA had good linebackers and Chris Long and we ate their lunch. You have 5 offensive lineman and at least a running back to block, if not a tight end or two. Unless you are pulling lineman and running screens, how the hell do their guys just come through completely unblocked?

- What is the deal with the shoulder-throw-my-body-into-you tackle? Rock and Davon are guilty of this. Is it a size thing? Why don't they try to wrap up?

- Scrap the whip position. JGW was JGW tonight. Play Jack Tyler and Lyndell or Chase next year with Bruce and Barq. Have a heavy three-linebacker look and rotate it out with the nickel or 30 look. Even his pick-six in the ACC championship was a "oh shit, I'm out of position" play.

- Coale and Boykin with big games. Great to see John Graves have a great outing too. Sorry that Davon got poster-ized most of the day.

- Even if we won, 2-1253 against top #5 wouldn't make ESPN and company drop that stat against top 5 teams

- Bud just said "ass" instead of "tail" in reference to "busting our (team effort)" - awesome

- Wish Tyrod could have redshirted. What could have been. I really hope we aren't going to pull a 2010 Florida or Texas next year.
