This was pretty much along the lines that I was coming to say. While the win against Tennessee looks good on paper, they had a ton of injuries and we basically caught them at the right time. The rest of the schedule was fairly weak and they really should have gone undefeated in nonconference with the wins against Tennessee and Penn St. Games against GT, UNC, PITT and Duke were ones they needed to win to really have a shot at having a decent year in the ACC. UNC and Duke are both down this year and GT and Pitt just aren't that good(which kind of says something). Vanessa has been struggling in ACC play for whatever reason and is frustrated by that.

Looking towards next year, this was obviously the year they needed to do something. Right now you have the only ACC caliber wing player and two starting post players that are graduating with no one coming in or currently on the roster to replace them. Dennis will probably need to dip into the JUCO pool again to find a big to help out with minutes. Hicks, Panousis, Hill, Cook and Magarity is probably the starting lineup, but not much proven depth behind that. With two guards coming in next year guard will be fine and it would push Hill and Camp out to wing with Gilmer, but none of them have the shooting ability of Young. Nahodil and Croker just don't seem to be anything other than bodies for practice and Koshuta still has work to do with conditioning. With Magarity being injury prone, Dennis will definitely need to get some reinforcements in one way or another during the next signing period.

Agreed. IIRC we were forced to play Kam Chancellor some at corner due to depth issues, and while he was a decent corner, he's obviously a monster at safety.

The map is really interesting...I mean what did Alabama ever do to Alaska, or Texas do to Hawaii? How does Maine come to hate Ohio State? It's funny to see which states despise out of state foes, too. Can someone explain how Michigan gets so much ill-will in North Dakota? And I'm not sure what it says about Vegas when Alabama is the most hated team in Nevada.

Of course he's not concerned about the UVA spring game.....and if he's only expecting 20,000 at our spring game this year I think he will be pleasantly surprised.

I'd be surprised if they fire Mendenhall anytime soon. He is a proven good but not great headcoach

Not sure I've ever seen Sam Rogers described as a "darling" before.

Also, interesting tidbit, I heard from a couple of the players recently that while Hilgart is designing the program and everything, Fuente is the one leading everything at 5:30am, front and center. Pretty awesome to see 1) the two of them working so well together and 2) Fuente being the center of the program and being darn sure to put his mark on every single aspect of it.

I think Moto was started a year too early because of depth reasons. Playing Mike in bud's scheme requires a very high football IQ that not many young players can step into and do well, for Chase Williams things didn't seem to click till his senior year. Moto will improve this year, he seemed to get better by the end of the year, and I am very excited about Erin Carter's potential
