I am a Gamecock and grad who has lived in Virginia for about 20 years. I feel that some people on this board think that just because we are in the SEC that automatically we are going to stomp any ACC opponent. I thought the game would be a toss up. I did not think that we were going to waltz into Charlotte and beat them 50 to 0. I knew that they had a very talented, fast, and quick QB. Maybe the best duel threat QB we have faced all year. He had a 1,000 yds rushing and a 1,000 yds passing in the same year. I thought that he might test our struggling defense. UVA has had about two coaching failures in a row before Mendenhal. So, everyone thinks that they are regular door mats. Before the last two UVA coaches, they had a winning coach in George Welch. He won some good games during his tenure there. The state of Virginia produces many good athletes. It is a bigger state than SC in population and probably produces more D1 football players than SC in most years. I don't know that for sure. But they produce enough to win with. In years past, many went to VT or other places like Ohio State, UCLA, Florida and many other lesser big name programs. Certainly their recruiting hasn't been as good as ours in terms of stars. But obviously they have some studs. They are well-coach and appeared to be on the way up. I frankly thought and said that they might score 28 points against us, but I also thought and said that we would score more, like 42 or 35 and still win. Our D did its job but our O didn't in my opinion. If we want to understand what happened in that game, we need to understand the context. UVA played NC State tough but still lost. They should have beaten VT but may some big errors at the beginning of the game and let VT go up 14-0 early. But they fought back and should have won in regulation at Blacksburg in front of a hostile crowd. But lost in OT. The question is what happened to our offense. We got carried away with our scoring at Clemson and somehow thought that we were going to score at will against UVA. It didn't work out that way.
