There was one thing to cheer for Saturday
About the only thing to cheer for during Saturday's zombie type performance against W&M was the 2009 UVA baseball team raising the Power of Orange flag, and then later being honored on the field. The stadium stood and cheered, collectively showing their approval, admiration, and support.
Unfortunately, there was little else to cheer for. The promise of a new, spread offense that would be tough to defend went for naught, as W&M's defense (and everyone in the stands) quickly figured out Virginia was running 3 plays. The QB keeper, the stretch play handoff to the RB out of the shotgun, and the now failing for 9 years and counting, run 3 receivers deep and throw it underneath for 3 yards play that fools no one. Never did the ball go deep to make the defense respect that they might do so. Only once did the QBs (all 3 of them) try to make the 15 yard pass rather than the 3 yard pass, even on 3rd and long situations.
This philosophy was one of the main reasons folks wanted Mike Groh fired. Now, he's gone, a spread offense is installed, and the same type of plays are run anyway.
Inexcusable, and it will cost the head man and several assistants their jobs.
