Game Thread: Central Michigan vs. UVA 12:30 pm ACC Network/ESPN 3

So far the defense has been looking really good. On offense, well, Zaccheaus looked scared of the defender on 3rd down. If he wasn't he had a wide open field in front of him and could've had a massive gain.

A lot less people there today than when I went week 1 vs Michigan from what it looks like. I'm guessing people want to see team actually win a couple before they start coming back.

Great 2nd drive by the offense, mixing it up a little bit and scoring the touchdown. Must've been first drive nerves or something.

Central Michigan 0 UVA 7

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Nice way to respond to the touchdown for the defense by getting another 3 and out.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Another nice mix of running and short passes and we drive down the field again for a touchdown and a successful 2 point conversion.

Central Michigan - 0 UVA - 15

 

[UVA_Guy81]

After letting up their first 1st down, the defense held and forced a punt. Nice punt by Central Michigan, having it downed around the one.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

End of the 1st and UVA is driving again but the score is still 15-0.

Hoping that it isn't like last week where after the 1st quarter, the offense stopped moving the ball until the final drive of the game, which eventually wore down the defense.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Another touchdown with Benkert finding Keeon Johnson wide open in the end zone for the touchdown. A missed extra point makes the score Central Michigan - 0 UVA - 21.

WTF CMU, i rank you and then you do this against an FCS team?

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Same story as earlier. Defense held them, UVA got great field position and they marched down the field to score another touchdown making it 28-0.

Where has this team been all year???

WTF CMU, i rank you and then you do this against an FCS team?

UVA has been dominate. Central Michigan hasn't had an answer yet. UVA looks way better than they have by far all year. This is what it would've looked like if UVA's offense didn't lay an egg after the 1st quarter last week against UConn.

Is this football?

So UVA would win the Big12? They are dominating the team that beat one of the best teams in the Big12.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

An unsportmanlike conduct penalty on UVA helped Central Michigan gain some momentum and get into the endzone.

Central Michigan - 7
UVA - 28

 

[UVA_Guy81]

After getting one 1st down, UVA has to punt. Hope that this isn't a shift in momentum.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Just as I feared. Central Michigan with a huge play, with Robinson way out of position and Central Michigan with a long touchdown to put Central Michigan back in this one.

Central Michigan - 14
UVA - 28

 

[UVA_Guy81]

UVA had to punt again and Central Michigan takes a knee to go into the half still down 28-14.

UVA started out great again and it didn't look like Central Michigan came out expecting that. Then Central Michigan towards the middle of the 2nd quarter started to find a rhythm and cut the lead in half. UVA needs to make some minor adjustments at halftime to make sure to not let another one get away from them like what happened did last week.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Matteo you big dumbass. Instead of a 3rd and short, we get an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty to make it 3rd and 17 and have to punt.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

We only bring four and there is still someone open enough to get a 1st down.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

We got very lucky to hold them to a field goal chance in the red zone because they put together a nice, long drive. The kicker missed it wide right and the score still remains 28-14 UVA.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Pick 6 from a horrible throw by Benkert and Central Michigan is within one score now. 28-21 UVA
