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

Dumb play call on 3rd down and now we have to punt again. This is looking more like the team from last week that got the strong start but fizzled out throughout the game. Have a bad feeling they're going to let yet another game get away.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Central Michigan is driving again. We're doing fine against the run but they're having their way with us right now through the air and on 3rd down. We can't get off the field on 3rd down at all.

Central Michigan - 21
UVA - 28

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Once again, they kill us through the air and the guy was wide open. Now Central Michigan has scored 28 unanswered points to tie the game.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Instead of finding ways to win, UVA finds ways to lose. Another 3 and out and the offense is non existent to put the defense back on the field after a long drive.

GO CHIPS!!

 

[UVA_Guy81]

After a couple first downs, we finally force them to punt the ball.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Finally, we get a big play of our own to take the lead back with a 82 yard touchdown pass to Zaccheaus!

Central Michigan - 28
UVA - 35

Perhaps a momentum shift as Central Michigan went 3 and out after a couple of incomplete passes and a short gain.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Now it's back to a two touchdown lead. We did a good job of mixing up the short passes and runs there, which is what we were doing to get the four touchdowns to start the game.

Central Michigan - 28
UVA - 42

 

[UVA_Guy81]

UVA with a pick and the momentum now. Just need to run as much of the clock as we can now while getting at least a couple of first downs.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Well, who needs to run the clock I suppose when Mizzell proves me wrong and scores a touchdown on a screen pass for 53 yards.

Central Michigan - 28
UVA - 49

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Central Michigan took a bunch of time off the clock and scored a touchdown. After UVA recovered an onside kick, UVA will take a couple of knees and get their first win.

Central Michigan - 35
UVA - 49

They played good at the beginning and the end of the game but in the middle, they looked dejected and lost on both sides of the ball. Even though they should've been able to pull out a win last week against UConn to be 2-2, we go into ACC play next week against Duke with some momentum. Hope they can keep it up now that the monkey is off their back.
