Did this for the VT game too,

interesting to see where we are statistically going into the games so some of our over-reaction/under-reactions can have some depth

plays per game
UVA: 75
Miami:70

Yards Per Play
UVA: 4.8 (109th)
Miami: 6.3 (22nd) <-- same as it was before the vt and nd games..which is impressive

Redzone Scoring
UVA: 80.77% (90th)
Miami: 93.1% (11th)

3rd down conversion %
UVA: 41% (47th in the country)
Miami: 29.4% (125th in the country)
^interesting note here, we are among nation leaders in getting first downs on 1st and 2nd downs...which may make this stat less meaningful, idk

Rushing yards per attempt
UVA: 3.6 (107th)
MIami: 4.9 (34th)

Kicking
UVA: 89% (don't plan on a miss against us...still)
Miami: 80%

Offensive play breakdown
UVA: 43% rushing 57% passing (MOAR interceptions)
Miami: 52% passing 48% rushing

Time of Possession
UVA: 32:00
Miami: 27:00

UVA: 2.10/game (78th)
Miami: 1.67/game (46th)

Total Yards per game
UVA: 369 (98th)
Miami: 439 (42nd)

DEFENSE

Opponents Yards per play
UVA: 5.3 (48th)

Miami: 3.67 (2nd to clemson)

Turnover Margin
UVA: +3 (43rd)
Miami: +15 (2nd)

Defensive Passing Efficiency
UVA: 30th
Miami: 4th

Scoring Defense
UVA: 26.7 (67th)
Miami: 16.7 (10th)


prognosis:

not looking good for virginia, think we cover here. we've been against better defenses and performed better. Would expect us to do better than our seasonal averages


what is crazy is that the offense and specifically the Defense have gotten better significantly better over the course of the season as the schedule has gotten tougher

if we were playing at this level during the Toledo and Bethune games we would be top 5-10 in every statistical category i'm certain of it

regardless, we're coming together at the right time and our remaining opponents(including clemson's shaky Offense) all look beatable

also if we have two dominant defensive performances (approx 250 yards or less for each UVA and PITT) we would probably finish top 20 in defensive yardage which is what some people harp on

Need to crush them. Local fans get your butts in the seats. This season is something special
 
Our DL should give their OL fits. On defense I suspect UVA will try to force us to throw. Rozier will need to pick up yards with his legs again and protect the ball. 24 - 3 Canes.
 
We want have our peak emotional edge, and thats to be expected. We simply must execute. In a weird sort of way, Richt will have to Coach his *** off for this game.
 
I am super concerned about the post ND let down and this team coming out flat.

I agree Richt and Co will have to coach their asses off this week to keep them motivated
 
They still need to think of every game as a playoff game. Miami won't get any slack, because of how they played earlier in the year.

Their QB is going to get crushed all night. They can't run the football consistently. They can't stop our big play skill positions
I see it going a lot like the Duke game at worst. A game that is kinda close for a couple quarters than we just roll.
 
For the second year in a row, we play our best ball in November. Not worried about this game at all. Yes there will be a let down from the ND intensity. These kids are human. But at the same time they are playing for a spot in the playoffs. Don't think they don't have that on their minds all week.
 
This team needs to prepare for that moment to win the ACC Championship game.
 
Think the momentum carries over and we get up big early . Take a 27 -3 halftime lead in and win 48-10 . 3 more turnover chains taken out . Rosier goes 25-39 for 340 and 4 tds ( 3 in air 1 on the ground) . Think Richards comes of the snide to catch 6 passes for 140 ( long of 60)

I'll be happy with a one point win...winning is all that matters. Don't forget, Virginia has nothing to lose since they have nothing to gain except to possibly upset our highly ranked team...each game gets bigger as the season ends making this game just as important as the VT and ND games...fans will still be a factor
 
3 freshmen linemen play in the rotation...one might be a starter at LT
 
They won’t score more than twice. Our offense will dictate how close this will be. I think we have another 200 yard running day.
 
How far have we come.....
