Figure I'll probably be the one of the few paying attention to this game.

Nice second drive by our offense by just couldn't get those final five yards to get into the end zone and get a field goal instead. I liked the drive but just stalled. Benkert looked like he missed an open receiver on the left side of the field on 3rd and goal.

Nice hold there to force a punt. Defense is looking a lot better this week so far than the previous couple weeks.

Last I looked it was 0-0. Any score yet?

EDIT: I should read you post for words and not just look for numbers

Virgins 3
Conns 0

I'll keep updated with the score, but going up against the FSU/UL game and UT in a fight against Ohio isn't going to have me switching over to watch UVA.

 

[Cobrabit]

Well, never mind. Louisville just scored again and probably put that game out of reach, so you might have another viewer soon. That is until they pull the UL QB in the blowout, because I'll still watch him put his stamp on the Heisman.

I hate it when the receivers look to run before they actually have the ball.

I've seen the score of that game but haven't watched. Does FSU just look that bad or has Louisville just been that good today?

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Even though my feed is constantly freezing, I got the jist of what happened and came out strong those three plays to start the 2nd quarter to score a touchdown!

UVA - 10 UConn 0

Louisville has looked really good and FSU hasn't been able to do anything against them. I was expecting a shootout, but the UL defense has stepped up while their offense doesn't look like it can be stopped.

That score definitely surprises me. I, like you, thought that it was going to be a lot closer. Glad I didn't put money on this one. I thought that FSU was going to just lose one game and it was going to be Clemson again.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Another three and out by the defense. This has been more like what I expected to see a couple of weeks ago against Richmond.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Well, that drive sucked. Just one first down. At least we pinned them back deep with a great punt.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Got lucky and I'll gladly take letting up three. A couple of huge plays and an almost costly penalty. Thought for sure we were going to let up a touchdown there. Glad we held them in the red zone.

UVA - 10 UConn - 3

Stupid play call on 3rd and 6 forces a punt.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Again, some confusing playcalling with less than a minute left in the half.

Overall, the defense has looked much better than the previous couple of games other than letting up a couple of big plays. Offense has had a few decent drives but can only come away with 10 points. A couple of play calls I didn't understand at all there towards the end of the 2nd quarter. But I'll take a 10-3 lead into the half and be happy. Just hope we can keep this up on defense and pad the lead a bit to finally get our first win on the year.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

We've been doing great on defense on 3rd down, making them go 0-6 so far.

 

[Edisto_Tiger]

What's the score over here now? Still 10-3?

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Our offense has stalled since the 2nd quarter but at least the defense is holding for the most part.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

What's the score over here now? Still 10-3?

Yeah, still 10-3. Been a punt fest so far in the 3rd quarter.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Finally able to move the ball after recording our first turnover of the season. Hope we can just finally put some points on the board to make this a two score game.
