Virginia Gameday...

[RF2044]

Lackluster half.

But pleased we shut out the opposition.

2 turnovers sucked.

 

[zjscuse]

Our pass blocking looks serviceable but run blocking is lacking

We can’t get nothing in the interior

 

[Chip]

Tucker and Schrader looked both like fine to me. it’s not like they’re limping around or wincing or stretching out their shoulders or their legs, I don’t get it why people think they’re hurt.

I think about 3 or 4 OL might have the plague.

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

Gadsen was amazing and was wide open on three other plays. Hope Hatcher gets some 2nd half snaps.

 

[RMH44]

What do you mean? We’re fans talking in a fan forum? not like i’m directly criticizing the kid, I’m making observations to ot

Tuck looks like he's playing not to get hurt rather than being the hammer and delivering shots like he did last year.

Casual fans will not be won over with this offensive display.

 

[Orangezoo]

This UVA defense is stout - missed too many opportunities but the one constant for them has been that D. Gave up 17 to Richmond, 24 to IL and 14 to ODU and that is with handing out 9 giveaways across those 3 games and doing nothing on offense

 

[All4SU]

Run blocking has been nonexistent. Hate the two turnovers. Gadsden having his way out there.

 

[OrangeDW]

Casual fans will not be won with this offensive display.

In that case - I don’t want them.

 

[orangeinohio]

16-0 ain't sexy but I bet the visitors locker room is really gloomy right now.
The score doesn't reflect how badly that they're losing.

 

[DocFlanders]

Defense gets an A.

Gadsen gets an A

Playcalling gets a C. put team first not tucker.

schrader gets a B-. Needs to think faster and see the field better.

Agreed on offense grade but gotta remember they know Anae tendencies

 

[HtownOrange]

SU up 16-0 at the half. We knew UVA had a defense, they are stingy, especially as we get close to the goal line. Sound familiar? With the offensive weapons they have, they should be scoring, but our D is holding them when the play counts. It doesn't hurt that their offensive genius of an HC let their real offensive genius of an OC and QB whisperer go, to us, thank you kindly.

Anyway, Tucker is doing his job. He is drawing the defense' attention, opening up the game for the remainder of the offense. Shrader is making a few bad decisions and needs to get back to his game 1 and game 2 self. Credit the Hoo's D for not letting up on him. Regardless, we should be dominating more on the score board.

Thankfully, the SU player of the game goes to teh Cav's kicker after missing to FGAs. Granted, both were career long, but as one poster jokingly stated, the wind blew them off, he should have made both, it is the Dome, he will never have better kicking conditions.

Anyway, we are up, need a strong second half, keep the foot on the gas and don't look back. GO ORANGE!

 

[orangenauburn]

I feel dirty for saying I'm feeling meh at halftime.

Like, I feel they are going to score first drive and we won't respond, and then it's a game when it really shouldn't be.

And I hate that I feel this way

 

[All4SU]

Do they though? I mean his tendencies are based on different players.

 

[Chip]

Casual fans will not be won over with this offensive display.

Eh, it’s a 3-0 team that’s up 16-0 at halftime and has dominated the game.

If they need more, then they suck.

 

[PhatOrange]

Tuck looks like he's playing not to get hurt rather than being the hammer and delivering shots like he did last year.

I dont know, he looked to put his shoulder down and run over guys on his screen passes tonight. The OL isnt doing a good job of run blocking this season and running up the gut when the D keys on your TB isn’t a recipe for a successful running game.

 

[DomeStranger]

Armstrong, more like Armweak amiright?

Looked that way on his fumble tbh

 

[Acesn8s]

They have less then 120 yards of offense, we are up 16-0 could be a lot more, but we are dominating are second ACC opponent, got to be pleased with that!

Would be fun to see this offense firing on all cylinders

 

[All4SU]

Glad to have Peña back. Could see him breaking one in the second half. SU placing two Punt returners back. Wonder if they want UVA to think they are setting something up to open up a return.

Kind of has a feel the Purdue game did where we should have put them away but they came back and we almost lost. Everything else about this game is different but the feeling that if Purdue can score one TD all of a sudden this game starts getting dicey

 

[TheHaze315]

Virginia is very lucky to only be down 16, they should be down about 40 right now. Just have to finish drives and we coast to a glorified scrimmage and a 5-0 record at the bye. 30 more minutes fellas.

 

[IthacaBarrel]

Just win the game. too many people looking for style points and as soon as some cuse guy plays mediocre he must be hurt! Stop

Yep nobody completely changes philosophies overnight

 

[Orangezoo]

In the redzone 1000%.

Which is why it's a win however game so they can get some things worked out vs Wagner and during the bye.
