With who? We barely have RBs at this point.

17 rushes for 155 yards for Prosise. We have serviceable RB. But BK will never commit to it.

In 2012 we rode a RS Freshman to the championship game. Then again, we had Reesus

They're 2-0 and winning 4 more should be the goal?? Even I'm not that pessimistic, MAYBE had they lost today... You still have a couple pretty much unlosable games...
Don't you tempt fate dude...not with ND. Northwestern was "unlosable" last year too.

Our defense looked every bit as good as they did against Texas in the first quarter... Then UVA hit that fluke third down deflection after our offense couldn't finish and it was like our players heads just imploded... Makes me wonder about the mental aspect of the guys, like they were just waiting for something to go wrong, and when it did no one could stop the flood...

Yeah, let's run our last RB 25 times a game...
Better to risk Prosise than Kizer at this point. You can fudge a tailback out of Adams, Williams, Hunter, Carlisle, or Brent if you had to. There's no faking it at QB.

I didn't watch the first 90% of the game, I had it on the radio at work. The radio guys kept talking about how none of the Virginia formations or plays were used against UCLA. So kudos to their staff for holding those cards last week I guess.

1) A win is a win.

2) Feel awful for Malik.

3) Secondary gave up 144 yards to a receiver no one heard of before today.

4) Offense needs to change (more run) with Malik out.

5) This defense is not elite, and I'm not sold on BVG. If that was UVA, Clemson and USC should be a treat.

6) Offensive line not being able to get 1 or 2 yards is unacceptable.

This is what is so frustrating. It's like we have no ability to get stoic and shake off flukey or bad plays. We just came unraveled after that fluke play and never recovered. We're missing a Te'o or someone to step in and say "Guys, shake it off, we got this." I thought maybe MZ could be that guy but I guess now we'll never know.

Why is Day dropped in to coverage so much? There wasn't one play that it seemed successful on. And on the 3rd and long they converted, we rushed 3. One of which looked to be Jaylon. Arguably the best LB in the country, rushing the QB in that position?

Beautiful.

Also, we are not a playoff contender, even with Zaire. I'm sticking with my 8-4 prediction.

Isn't that what you do with a defensive tackle built like a hairy rhinoceros? Drop him into coverage?

Cause BVG is an idiot. Trumbetti was dropping in deep coverage a number of times vs LSU too. He makes his defense too fucking confusing and stupid, which is why guys like Redfield and Nyles Morgan struggle to play even though they're freak athletes.

He's not dead, ya know? He can still be on the sidelines.
Well it's one thing to lead from the sidelines, and another to lead from the huddle. I'm not saying he can't be there to help but it's different coming from a guy on the field.
