Is Virginia's line any good? I felt like I heard the commentators mention them as a strength during the game which still may not mean much haha.

You're going to see a ton of screens and quick passes. Peay had some limited success with that with FCS level talent.

11 sacks is 11 sacks.. most of the other P5 teams in the nation have played similar opponents in their first 2 games.

for sure.... dropping back against this defense is begging for the rabbits to hunt.

hopefully the dline worked on screen recognition during film study this week

Oh, HELL NO, don't post anything positive for this forum of Debbie Downers

I expect our Defense to play well, get some sacks and TFL. I just hope our Offense plays like they did in Orlando, Florida. 3 long TD Passes, and UT wins this by 10.

 

[VolBricks]

wouldn't it be nice if we doubled that sack number this week.

These arguments are literally the dumbest someone can make.

Most of those teams have played terrible teams as well…

 

[Nationdom]

I feel like Tennessee gets 7 sacks Saturday night

 

[VolForLife83]

Now if we can get the offense going.

really? so far...

Alabama played Texas (and lost)
LSU played Florida State (and lost)
Florida played Utah (and lost)

so I would say that does skew that stat a little

And all those were losses

Here’s the thing, in years past WE have played similar teams and not gotten sacks. We might chase the QB around some but getting home has been a struggle. Take the progress when you see it.

Go back last year and look what our defensive line did against lesser competition. No where close to this production. Yes the teams we faced this year are not very good, but this DLine is playing with an edge this year. Very fun to watch.

 

[JCHateSteve]

I know it's been against not great competition, but I wouldn't have called that.

This. When things weren’t going well for the offense last week, the defense put on MORE STEAM. I think they got that advice from a very wise man before the game.

Yeah, its not like we have played the top teams in the country like Georgia has.

Who has the other teams played? UGA played Ball Sack State and a local HS. It is amazing that our "fans" looks for opportunities to give our team backhanded compliments.

Utah is garbage. Where is your excuse for UGA.

there are how many football teams in the nation sir ? You named the 3....I'll help you out and throw in Colorado.... 4... out of 133.
11 sacks is a lot for 2 games period especially for our defense lately. Last year as a team we had 31 all season (34 in '21)..Funny story 2020 when we had a "defensive" coach we had 20... just saying
