TV: TBA
Prediction time again. Virginia football, # of regular season wins:
- 7
- 8
- 9
- 10
- 11
Itās fun typing that up and the entire possible range is 7 to 11. Thatās a nice range to have arrived at!
Itās honestly all I wanted from this program. Give me a program that is competitive in every game and has an opportunity to be great.
@zblakey with 7 wins ![]()
The marble game has us tied for #10 with Georgia. Itās clearly the best approach.
I went from 7-5 with a win over VT or 8-4 as grounds for a successful season to⦠anything short of 9 wins would be a disappointment. That said, this season has already been a very positive step forward for the program. Keeping the donors happy and establishing some coaching stability in a time when it would be absolutely brutal to be in the coaching market.
Little worried about how weāre trending right now. Injuries are really catching up to us
SP+ has us around -7, KFord around -11. Not loving Vegasā opinion of us.
I assume a lot of that is questions around Chandler/our offense.
Hoos are 5-3 ATS this season. I think Vegas was off on the Hoos in the early part of the season when the offense came out firing and itās taken time to correct. A banged up QB will lower expectations. Thereās also not a ton of money coming in on the games so it makes lines get tighter to encourage more action.
Yeah I think Vegas is aware of how these injuries have impacted the offense more than models have. I feel confident weāll one of the next three.. and Iāll never predict a VT win.
So 8 it is but Iād put the O/U at 8.5
Lots of talk about our offense (and rightfully so) but Iām getting a lot more confident in the defense. Theyāre deep and a lot healthier than the offense. The DL has been playing great, Kam is Kam, Marcellus is really starting to shine. The DBs are imperfect but playing a lot better. The scheme can be annoying at times but itās working. Yes, weāve played some bad offenses lately but we played some bad offenses early too.
@BDragon & @JBHoo do kicka$$ weekly shows, but if you want another watch like me, check out @IAmBallHawk (Bleav in Virginia)! He just brings another perspective and has some great insight since heās around the team a little more!
I mainly watch him for the post game thoughts/comments.
Yeah we love Ballhawk. Heās helping coach HS this year or he wouldāve been on the show already.
Absolutely love Ballhawk.
@Jwhelan33 Iām not sure you were around for the Lockdown LRA podcast⦠but if not⦠Tony Covington & Ahmad Hawkins did a whole series of interviews with Cavalier football legends.
It ran for the 22/23 football seasons⦠link below:
Whereās the āyea and sad at the same timeā emoji?
Also mentioned Wigenton is out for a few weeks, maybe the season, with an ankle injury.
OL depth continues to degrade.
Itās a real shame Wyatt appears to be damaged goods. Could really use him as guard and tackle depth
