Did You See That Coming? Virginia's 31-0 destruction of Maryland on Saturday proved to be a dominating surprise for a team that had lost three games this season by more than 25 points. Against the Terps, the Cavaliers controlled every facet of the game, beginning in the trenches and spreading everywhere on the field. Impressive to say the least. As always, Rob Mahini (Vandy-Hoo) takes a look at the weekend's game on The Good Ol' Blog. He's still searching for the right words two days later. Check out these two entries from the blog:
Quick thoughts on turtle crushings I tried very hard during the Comcast replay to look for under-the-radar problems with the team. Maybe some mistakes that weren't obvious as the Hoos blasted Maryland. And, frankly, the only one I saw was Vic Hall's Adventures in Punt Fielding and some other minor special teams issues. Aside from that, every other unit played superbly and almost flawlessly. The offensive line was pass protecting and run blocking like the old UVa teams. Verica was a mobile Matt Schaub. The wide receivers were open and catching almost everything. Peerman and Simpson were back with a vengeance. Phillips redeemed himself. The defensive line surged and the line backers were swarming. The DBs blanketed the Terp receivers. And the defense as a whole was a tackling machine. So, a shutout by the defense and 31 points by the offense. Obviously the coaching staff did some things right this past week.

This Week In Recruiting Oscar Smith (Chesapeake, VA) senior wide receiver Tim Smith, fresh off a big-time performance in a big win over Western Branch on Friday night, was scheduled to make an official visit to the University of Virginia over the weekend. We'll catch up with the 6-1, 190-pound standout this week for comments on the experience, which was only his second ever in Charlottesville. Smith attended UVa's Elite Prospect Day in June earlier this year. This past weekend's visit also is Smith's second official visit. He went to West Virginia University the previous weekend and is also scheduled to go to Louisville for an official on the weekend of Oct. 18. At this point, Louisville, Virginia and West Virginia appear to be the primary three contenders in this race, though Smith has yet to rule out other schools such as Boston College. On Friday night, Smith hauled in five receptions for 136 yards and three touchdowns in Oscar Smith's 48-7 win over Western Branch, which was undefeated as well heading into the contest. Smith started off the scoring for the Tigers with a 54-yard punt return for a touchdown. Senior running back/linebacker Perry Jones, another Oscar Smith standout, rushed nine times for 72 yards and two touchdowns in the win. The 5-9, 185-pound prospect, a very good friend of Smith's, verbally committed to Virginia in the spring. He projects as a defensive back for the Cavaliers. 6-1, 185-pound Javanti Sparrow, a wide receiver/defensive back prospect, was on the other side of Friday night's decision. Like Tim Smith, though, he is seriously considering the Cavaliers. The Western Branch star holds a scholarship offer from Virginia and plans to make an official visit this coming weekend. Check out the latest on Sparrow later in the week, as we'll check in for his thoughts prior to the weekend visit. He is also seriously considering North Carolina and Virginia Tech, but could a decision come soon after this weekend's trip? Today, check out the latest on highly coveted Brookville (Lynchburg, VA) standout tight end/wide receiver recruit Logan Thomas. The 6-6, 225-pound senior, a recent selection to the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, updates his recruitment and what the next step towards making a decision may be. Thomas has narrowed his list of schools to nine. Later this week, we'll have more with current UVa commitment Tyree Watkins, who discusses a recent visit to Penn State as well as his situation with the University of Virginia.

Issue No. 187 - April 29, 2005 Long, Peerman among spring game standouts
But it was still a good chance for fans to catch what amounted to a 90-minute scrimmage - Offense vs. Defense - and identify some potential stars of the future. Defensive end Chris Long and tailback Cedric Peerman were the standouts on defense and offense, respectively, while Theirrien Davis and the other wideouts also performed well before a crowd of 6,000-plus. The Cavs won't convene training camp again for more than three months, but the spring practices gave us plenty to discuss over the summer as we anticipate next season. Will the passing game be better? Are the injuries going to linger? Is there enough depth at linebacker? What's the story in the secondary? We'll tackle these questions and more in the coming months.
