Smells of a trap game...they beat Boise Sate by 19 and playing there is never easy.

We're #2 ....all games from here on out will be trap games. However, the one constant over the year was our D-Line and the additional constant over the last two games was our O-Line. I feel good about running the table if those two units continue to show up.

We roll...just read they play three freshmen lineman in the rotation. Disregard my first comment

Miami will probably cover, they really have no reason to let up this game. The coaches have them juiced up they know what's ahead. Unless they're tired I'd say they cover. Maybe they don't play at 100% like the did the past two games but they don't need too. We know what they can do now at home, will they cover a big # on the road is the question. Hard Rock is worth at least 10 points alone with a good crowd. JMO
 
Richt 45, Mendenhall 10

The close call against UNC lit a fire under the players. The only way the Canes take it easy against UVA is if/when Richt calls off the dogs.
 
We play at HOME fellas.....Game should be over at halftime but I expect a hangover and for UVA to keep it close till the end of the 3rd quarter. Our fans need to show up for Senior Day!
 
if the previous coaching staff who shall not be mentioned by name was still here, i'd be terrified. however we've got coaches who make sure these kids stay level-headed and are prepared. we should win with no problem. my biggest worry is escaping these next 2 games with no serious injuries to starters/key contributors. we've already lost some depth on the defense with d.jackson and c. perry the past 2 games, can't afford any more.
 
If we let down some and they keep it close, this team knows how to win those games. Not the type of game I bet so I don't care about the spread. It is funny that we would have covered it against ND. Dang we whipped their rears.

The easiest way to win these games is just not shooting yourself in the foot, limit penalties, don't turnover the ball over, take the easy stuff
 
My guess is that Richt really drills them in practice these next two weeks. He knows that Virginia smells of a trap game, and Pitt REALLY smells of a trap game.
 
Our DL is playing lights out, but it will be hard to keep up that kind of intensity. Everyone has been so hyped up the last 2 weeks there will be some kind of letdown.

Were to talented to lose this game, but it could be closer than the 18-20 point spread
 
Coaches can preach all they want about avoiding a letdown, etc.

It's still natural to get complacent after routing #3 team.

This game will be about limiting turnovers and running the ball. We do that and we win comfortably.

We win but no way would I lay down money on this game giving 19 points. Week after a program changing win coupled with a noon start sounds like a slow start for us. I think we win by 10-14 points but I think it'll be tight at halftime.

This will be a test no doubt. No longer playing the victim, media hates us roll, and are expected to handle business. Richt and company needs to keep the team from reading too much into the headlines.
 
I expect us to come out a little slow. I am praying the starters can at least be out halfway through the 3rd or beginning of the 4th. This just smells like a game we sleep walk in and win by 13 so the media can trash us again...

Would be more worried on the road. Sleeping at home, no travel sluggishness, road food.......

Short week at Pitt, maybe
