Stat is only going to get more impressive Friday. Pittsburgh is 109th and 107th in sacks/tfl allowed. These boys are going to feast!

Virginia's OL was supposed to suck too, but they were good enough to let Benkert look like Tom Brady for a while. I'm sure they'll play above their heads for at least a little while. They were close to beating VT last week. I think Diaz will play this the same way as UVA. Take away the run and make the QB beat them, trying to confuse him with different looks and blitzes.

This is just dumb.

Virginia's OL did suck. We had 5 sacks and they couldn't run.

Virginia had success because they rolled their QB and got him outside the pocket. All his TDs were outside the pocket, on the run. They schemed this way because they knew they couldn't block us straight up.

Pretty sad that wasn't obvious to you
 
we are actually 2nd in TFL when you exclude fcs opponents. 9.22 /game right behind northern illinois (so basically first)

Manny has brought the killer, attacking defense we all screamed for under the Golden regime.

Toledo and Virginia games killed our scoring defense and total defense numbers. I projected total defense would be top 25 by end of season. Looks like that will not happen. I look for a dominant defensive performance against Pitt to send a message to Clemson.

Manny did not bring it. It lives in the DNA of Cane players. He just had to let them play Cane defense.
