[QUOTE="DeonThomas, post: 1659044, member: 748424"] It was a game of Men vs boys. I can recall back when we were consistently good (i.e. when we beat Ohio State 5 times in a row in the late 1980's) we looked similar to the opposing team on the field - [B]physically. [/B] We belonged. That wasn't the case Saturday. It looked like Division I vs Division III. UVA's offensive line manhandled us. And their receivers looked NFL ready. I had to google Jelani Woods when I got home from the game. He looked to be 6'9 on the field, with great hands. QB Armstrong was constantly throwing to wide open receivers in the middle of the field who were on the move 20 yards downfield. Conversely, we ran 5 yard come-back routes in front of the defensive backs. I don't blame Bielema for that. [/QUOTE]
