šŸˆ Virginia vs Richmond, W, 34-13, 1-0 (0-0 ACC), Saturday, 31 August 2024, 1800, ACCNX

Pass rush hasn’t been great but the run defense has been really stout so far.

Early thoughts:

Colandrea, Harris and Fields look good.

Defense still can’t get any pressure.

Linebacking corps is solid.

Sanker is the best safety we’ve had in a while.

Want to see something for Tyree, Harrison, and Greene in space.

Dante next to Saunders, right? And I assume Tillery in the green behind Gertrude (?)

Electric start so far, let’s keep it rolling.

My favorite part so far is seeing the team so hyped up for making plays against the FCS East Astronauts while the fans in the half empty stadium yawn and clap more mildly than jwilly seeing someone get of a bus using proper technique.

Edit: actually my new favorite part is that Richmond has a dude named Jerry Garcia

Goddamn Furnish. Come on man.

259 yards of total offense in the 1st quarter.

It’s Richmond, so can’t take away too much but happy to see us come out prepared for this game.

Analysis: Richmond is bad

How good/bad is Richmond supposed to be this year?

Confident and aggressive. I’m unfamiliar with this brand of UVa football.

The only ā€œmehā€ so far is the d-line. I’ll take it.

We’re playing Richmond, but our S&C guy is doing work with the offense. Our playmakers look faster than I’ve seen them in years vs. a D-IAA squad.

Agreed, they look fast, decisive and confident. Just an extra gear than I’m used to

For reference that’s WAY better than what William and Mary was last year when we beat them 27-13. W&M was a middling FCS team.

#12 FCS is also in the range of ā€œrandom FCS team upsets a good P5 team.ā€

I run that same play all the time

AC trying to do too much. Gotta move up in the pocket or throw it towards the sidelines.

100% Obviously Richmond isn’t great competition but we’ve looked much worse vs them and other Virginia FCS teams in previous years.
