I'm not bashing or gloating. What a painful way to lose a game. Virginia is now 0-3 to start the season.
The remaining Virginia schedule could prove tough for this team:

vs Central Michigan
at Duke
vs Pitt
vs North Carolina
vs Louisville
at Wake Forest
vs Miami (FL)
at Georgia Tech
at Virginia Tech

Too bad. This was one I was really hoping for them to get.

Virginia has a great coach, but their program has become so dysfunctional it will take a long time to turn it around.

I watched the end of the game, and this one was on the kicker. They had no time outs and the clock was ticking down to 0 so the holder had to call for the snap at the last possible moment but the kicker was still stepping off his placement with his head down when the ball was snapped. No situational awareness on the part of that kicker.

Bronco talks in all his press conferences about how this is going to take time to get turned around. I'm sure he is really frustrated with the losses.

Bronco and Virginia get a win against Central Michigan 49-35 for his first Virginia win. Congrats!
