...is what many are saying tonight. The pundits rightly picked VA to win the coastal. And we (A Carter) punched them in the mouth tonight. They are a well-coached team full of upper-classmen, with a nice sprinkling of talent on both sides of the ball. Our D held Perkins to under 60% with zero TDs and 1.6 yards per rush. UVA's receivers caught some dime passes from Perkins that were actually well defended to keep drives alive... but we pushed their **** in inside the redzone. Manny back in the D gives me hope for the rest of the season. Our OLine and redzone play calling still leaves me pessimistic, but this was a good win for these kids tonight.

Enjoy it FFS.

That's a very poorly designed Virginia offense. It could not have been more glaring from the stands. I had to laugh that anyone would complain about Enos, when the other side was like a tinkerbell offense that somehow managed to not have the slightest threat of a power running game combined with virtually no threat of sophisticated route trees.

Miami was exponentially more versatile and dangerous than the other side. Take away that Virginia quarterback and some glue finger receivers and they have next to nothing. Central Michigan created spacing yet dropped the ball. Virginia created no spacing all game long yet their receivers kept drives alive and made the statistics considerably more robust that rightful by snagging the contested throws.

Virginia was like a Power 5 version of a Bethune Cookman offense but not much more than that. Absurdly condensed. They were so scared to actually run the football that when it switched from 3rd quarter to 4th quarter with Virginia 3rd and goal at the 1 yard line the one thing I did not fear at all was that Virginia would actually succeed on an aggressive running play. No chance. It was going to be a finesse play. Sure enough, they tried to slip the receiver (maybe tight end) into the far right flat -- we covered it -- and the quarterback had nothing. Then he was too stupid go actually throw the ball away, leaving 4th and goal from the 1. The 3 yard loss meant settling for a field goal.

Great victory but I knew darn well the defense was going to be overhyped here. Some of the sharp posters realized the Central Michigan defensive tally meant nothing given all the opportunities they missed. This is somewhat more significant...but barely. I mentioned this past week that Virginia was dead last in the ACC in rushing attempts per game, and had only 1 game above 129 yards rushing. I never had to ask why tonight. The Canes attacked on defense because Virginia essentially invited it by not even pretending to attack physically with the running game.

Combine the very limited opposing offense with the situational benefit of a home short week and we looked better than we are.

thanks for reading my mind

that UVA OC is god awful... they really try and put lipstick on bryce but hes an awfulQB whose best pass was a complete busted coverage by ivey
 
UVA IS NOT A “Bad team” they play to their strengths on offense (totally different offensive style then when they had benkurk)..to I’m able to play their best which is physicality and Defense..u can’t make mistakes against a team like them which is what we did

Hilarious take, bc outside of the first drive of the game, and the last drive, we looked like dog shït.
 
This is what I'm talking about. Check the Virginia message boards. They have been increasingly fed up with the offensive coordinator Robert Anae for years. But now it is reaching hatred level because all the fans realize the ridiculously limited offense is wasting a great defense.

Here is the related thread (below) from tonight's game. I think most Canes fans here somehow had an overboard impression of Virginia entering this game and failed to recognized the offensive weaknesses. Virginia is the only team in the ACC that has been in the bottom 5 in the conference in yards per game each season since 2016, and Anae has them comfortably there again:

“IF” we had real seasoned coaches we wouldn’t be talking about this... “LET THAT SINK IN”... in reality, we stink, we are not a good football team 😤

Bro .... total offense was only 265 and we were only 2-10 on 3rd down ... that sucks ... Miami played good D and there are no excuses for Virginia, but they did have some important players out with injuries.
