he's a senior

so at the very least he's experienced, that a mixed with an unmotivated defense equals great day for the qb

I think our style of defence works best when we are facing inexperienced qb's. We have a lot of moving pieces on D and we constantly bring pressure and call stunts and Gap blitzes with our front 7. If they don't get to the qb and he has the patients to wait for his receivers to find the holes they can be successful. He did a nice job of standing in the pocket and their OC did an even better job of calling plays that moved him away from the pressure.

I've noticed that the opposing QB often do well standing in the pocket when pressure comes on the first few times, and then it gets to them. That QB threw the pick six to Jaquan because of pressure.

It was the lack of pressure in the first half that allowed him to sit in the pocket and pick us apart. His OL should get a lot of credit for that. I was surprised that our DL wasn't getting more penetration in the first half (holding did a play a part in that). Benkert played well in almost all of the film I watched. He destroyed #25 BSU (now 9-2) in their house & UVA won by around 20 points (which is why I was saying this could be a trap game & it certainly looked that way deep into the game). He's simply a very good passer when he has a clean pocket to work in.

I don't agree that it was lack of pressure that led to his 1st half explosion.

It was the scheme that didn't allow our DL any time to get upfield. Go watch the tape.

Whether it was the scheme, excessive holding by UVA's OL or otherwise, Benkert had way too much time to sit back in the pocket and make accurate throws. He wasn't getting pressured or touched that much in the first quarter (for whatever reasons). That absolutely contributed to him picking our D apart. If you watch the tape, you will see that clearly (he had all day to sit back in the pocket in the first quarter and throw darts). When we adjusted our scheme, got pressure on him in the second half and contained his scrambling, he was way less effective. I do agree that an adjustment to the scheme helped in the second half.
 
The dude is a pretty good qb. Plus he had a little extra motivation. He's a local dude that didn't get a look from the team he was playing against. UVA is not very good and had a chance to ruin our season. We had just come off 2 huge games so obviously the team wasn't as up as they should have been. But hey, a win is a win. At this stage you win and stay in the game. That's what we did.
 
Kurt Benkert is the most ACC name ever. Y’all ever notice how many random white kids with unusual names play QB against us? I.e. Bryn Renner
 
He is way better than our QB, would love to have him under our center, do we even run under center anymore. We are a shotgun team which I don't like, MR is having to call plays around Rosiers weakness, makes me wonder what will happen next year after this magical season when Perry is clearly better than Rosier. MR will have to make a tough call
 
when he threw that perfect 3rd down strike on a slant during their first drive i figured we might be in for a long day. kid was just in the zone. probably swallowed a handful of addy's before the game.

Correct. Despite out success this season, we've somehow managed to make the kid from Toledo, Syracuse, Virginia & even the freshman from UNC (for a while) look like Aaron Rodgers. Maddening at times but I'll take it.

This... Diaz needs a response... Three seconds snaps should have been defended with a nickel coverage, dropping lbs back into coverage, MORE pick 6's... granted, we stopped the run, but it makes for a long day.

If Manny has proved anything this season, it's that it's very hard to get him twice, even for just both halves of the same game. He'll have it fixed.

Huh? Dungey through 4 picks and had less than 150 yards against us. Yes, Very Aaron Rodgers. Sometimes I wonder if you guys actually watch the games.

Yeah.. I actually drank that day (rarity) & was at the hunting camp watching. Forgot about the bad start. Was mainly eluding to him running over us like Cam (rushed for over 100)..but yeah, not the best example.

C'mon man.
 
Give Steve Fairchild credit. He studied our defense well and he put enough on tape to prevent Manny from having a flat out gameplan or idea of how he would attack our defense.

Any time a QB gets outside of the tackle box our DBs get lost in coverage. Its happened all year.

Almost all of Benkert's TD throws were made on the run or outside of the tackle box.

The very threat of a qb crossing the line of scrimmage without an assigned defender is back breaking for even the best of defenses.

Great game plan by UVA and great halftime adjustment by Manny.

Putting our DE's in a wide 9 with less stunts and keeping Benkert in the pocket single handedly changed the game.
 
as soon as Manny decided to get out of that soft *** zone he came out in all his " carving us up" came to an end.

How well did he do in the 2nd half when Manny decided to go back to man?

he carved us up with 3 step drops and short *** passes because we were 10 yds off the receivers...the kid had a decent day against us but the first half was almost 7 on 7.How'd he do when the REAL football started to be played?
