The AP published an article yesterday detailing some of UVA's football woes. Full article can be found here. There's plenty of interesting stuff, though:
"We were very confident coming off the field on that drive," defensive end Eli Harold said, "but they came back and responded," driving 83 yards in five plays for a go-ahead touchdown run.
"That really got us down and we never got back up," Harold said.
So, you get hit in the mouth and you fold? I can't help but read more into that statement- a lack of coaching and a lack of heart.
More from Eli Harold:
"That's why we we're like hanging our heads, you know, and a couple guys got beat, and during the whole course of the game, those guy that were getting beat were just hanging their heads. The energy was horrible. (Safeties coach Anthony Poindexter) was yelling at us. No one was ... I don't know what it was."
"No one was ... I don't know what it was."
The frailty of the Cavaliers' confidence wasn't helped by the crowd, Harold said. The announced attendance of 38,228 was the smallest at Scott Stadium since 2010, and it was vocally negative.
"There was not that many people at the game," Harold said. "The crowd behind us is yelling at us, I mean, they're our fans. It's like they're for the other team. And that all comes in play to winning.
"Like I said, when you hear things, it causes a cancer and causes you to act a certain way."
And when the results are like they were last week, he said, it makes you not want to do it again.
Wowzers. Eli Harold is a great talent. We recruited him hard. We were disappointed he didn't come to Blacksburg (can you imagine what he might have been able to accomplish in Bud Foster's system?). You can hear the sorrow in his words - the disappointment with the effort, with the fans, with just about everything. You almost feel sorry for the guy.
Almost.
Keep sellin' that dream, Head Ball Cop.
