The HOOS 19...BYU 16
It's been too long and I do apologize. Things have been hectic lately but I'm back. Same could be said for the University of Virginia's football team. The Special Teams and Defense came up huge at a soggy Scott Stadium to edge the Cougars by 3. The pressure promised from new defensive coordinator Jon Tenuta was delivered in waves...or was that the drainage running down the stadium steps...
While the offense struggled throughout the day, the other phases shined. The defense held BYU's hurry up attack to a measly 3.5 ypp and a paltry 3.9 ypc. The kicking game was solid including multiple punts inside the 10 and a 53 yard field goal. For once in the past several years the special teams was close to special.
There were negatives from this game, two costly turnovers that resulted in points as well as several drops and missed blocking assignments. I'm sure the coaches are already breaking down film of the areas in question. For a first game against a quality opponent though, I'll gladly take this weather-delayed win. Most important of all, Sydney experienced the first of many Saturdays in section 111 and he made his Daddy proud with how quickly he picked up the fight song! Go Hoos...bring on the Ducks!!
