He looked great both on the LOS and in a normal backer alignment. That is huge. He looked uncomfortable off the LOS in the bowl game. Terrell looked much more assertive coming up in the alley. I couldn't get much of a feel for Motuapuaka but didn't see him in on many tackles. Jamion Moss had a really rough day.

Perhaps more critical- outside of the quarterback, this system is ill suited to individuals getting a high volume of touches. Players will have to sacrifice individual numbers for the greater good. Some offenses (One back, I formation, pro-style passing) feeds the ball to great individual players no matter what the match up.)

So I looked it up and it appears the courts agree. Piazzola v. Watkins was a 1971 case heard by the 5th circuit court of appeals that reversed a marijuana conviction of students living in a dorm because their 4th amendment rights had been violated by the arresting officers. The court also stated that a student living in a dorm is similar to a normal citizen living in a hotel room.

However in an article from American University it was stated that because residents sign housing contracts, the university generally has a right to do general welfare and safety checks, and that anything found against dorm rules can be used against the students if it is in plane sight.

Now if you'll excuse me, this has caused me to have frank Beamer-esq flashbacks to my constitutional law class, and I need a beer.

I had assumed they were somewhat related due to Bitter's tweet about not finding anything in the court system until a few hours after the news broke. However, I can see how they can be unrelated and appreciate you pointing that possibility out. I'm sure we will get news reports once the court proceedings take place.

I am quietly confident that the run game will improve significantly

that's nice to hear (read)

The difference is that we won't see one back get a vast majority of the carries.

That's fine with me. So long as the rotation is effective, I don't have issues with that. Fresh legs!!!

The passing game- that depends largely on the QB. A good running game makes the passing game much better.

Given how much I've learned from you already, this seems like 101 type stuff :p

Ultimately, player buy-in is critical

Is this not the case for all programs? Is there anything inherently different about the way Fuente does things (schematically) where player buy-in is more critical than, say, Clemson....or Houston?

No, no, a thousand times NO. The best case scenario is that UVA goes 1-11 every year with their only win being over Liberty or ODU. And I am begrudgingly giving them that one win just so they can taste what they can't have. Screw 'em.

It's a battle, it's rare to
Find kids now that are 100% committed to schools from the get go.
Too much money going around and way too many chances to be swayed.
