[QUOTE="RockfordIllini, post: 1659057, member: 8716"] Agree, and I appreciate the reference to early Underwood years. For those who were hoping for a competitive game, Virginia was 18-2 in their last 20 home games. To win this game this would have been the equivalent of BU going into Wisconsin or Michigan State and winning in his first year. I looked it up and, yep, pair of 20 point losses. Hearing Beilema post game he clearly sees we have a culture/confidence problem. When he said you can’t coach confidence he sounded a lot like BU in his first couple of years. I remember one press conference after someone asked BU how he could fix a certain problem and he simply responded “Recruit!” like it was the most obvious thing in the world. I expect a similar house cleaning after this year. Bielema was able to go to 3 Rose Bowls with mainly 3 star kids who fit what he wanted to do. I firmly believe he can build us into a respectable program where 6 wins is the baseline and we are competitive with Iowa, Northwestern and Wisconsin. It’s just going to take time. [/QUOTE]
