UVA Football Season Predictions

How to sum up the outlook for UVA's season? 10 returning starters from last year's great defense (and #11 Vic Hall is probably the fastest guy on the team) and a consistent starter at QB (As strange as it sounds, can you name 3 ACC quarterbacks better than him?) will translate to the following:

9/1 at Wyoming - W
Wyoming had the No. 8 ranked defense in the country last year. You think it had something to do with the fact that they got to face Christian Olsen?

9/8 Duke - W
Time to get revenge for basketb---oh, wait. Nevermind.

9/18 at North Carolina - W
In two years, Butch Davis might have this team looking like Miami, but for now they'll more closely resemble the Browns.

9/23 Georgia Tech - W
The last time the Jackets won in C-ville, Michael Keaton was Batman.

9/29 Pittsburgh - W
This year's Pitt is worse than the one that gave us a beatdown last year, and that one wasn't even really that good.

10/6 at Middle Tennessee State - W
The bitter rivalry continues! Cavaliers versus...um...Middle Tennesseeans?

10/13 Connecticut - W
Holy moley, the Wahoos are 7-0! But have they played anybody? (No.)

10/20 at Maryland - L
The first loss hits hard in an "upset" by a struggling Maryland team. They always bring their A-game against us at home.

10/27 at NC State - L
Despite the Cavs' clear superority and experience, it's another ACC road loss for Al Groh. Tom O'Brien's re-energizing of the Wolfpack program will have kicked in by now.

11/3 Wake Forest - W
Groh vs. Grobe in a tight defensive struggle in which the UVA alum coaching at home will prevail.

11/10 at Miami - L
It's the final game in the Orange Bowl, and the Canes' pathetic fan base will be in full force to create their usual quiet, non-hostile environment once more for old times sake. But the U won't forget what The U...niversity did to them last year.

11/17 Bye
11 straight games without a week off? Who came up with this idea? Posters on The Sabre get an extra week to talk about nothing but the Tech game.

11/24 Virginia Tech - L
I don't want to talk about it.

Final record: 8-4 (4-4 ACC)
