Spread to Win

Decided to take a quick look at Matt Johns' stats through three games...

64-for-96 (66.6 completion %), 790 yards (263.3 / game), 6 touchdowns against 3 interceptions. Also, 41 yards rushing and a touchdown against one lost fumble. Been sacked just three times, as well. All this against the UCLA and Notre Dame (and William & Mary, womp womp) defenses.

Dude, this "power running" business has to go. Put the ball in Matty-J's hands, open up the playbook, and let's see what happens. Thorpe is back, our best tailback is at his best working the slot, Canaan Severin is a bonafide star, the two freshman receivers have displayed some explosive playmaking ability, and we even have a tight end who seems to be able to catch. Oh, and our suspect o-line is much better in pass pro than in run blocking.

WHY THE HELL AREN'T WE SPREADING THINGS OUT AND THROWING THE FOOTBALL AS OUR SO-CALLED "BASE" OFFENSE?

Our best QB since Biscuit.

  1. C'mon, dude, we're a power running team. Granted, we're a power running team that gets stood up by William and Mary three times in a row, and taking away Jordan Ellis' run, had 33 yards all day, but, still. We should stick to that strategy.

  2. Thanks Kendall, that's what I'm talking about. Way to dig into the numbers and accentuate the player!

    1. I have a big one coming that I haven't finished yet. Basically taking a look at the roster from a "beyond 2015" perspective. Should be fun.

      We have some good, talented players in the program. I'm excited for the future of Virginia Football.

    2. Agreed we have talent I the roster. I'm just so sick of waiting for next year. It all seems so typical of Virginia football.
