As will become the norm in this space from now on, I’ll start by talking about the performance of the coordinator. Much like the offense as a whole, Chip Long was a little bit all over the place in terms of what he wanted his offense to be against a pretty good Virginia defense. It never felt like he was trying to establish anything, he’d dabble in the run game, then go to the pass game, then suddenly went heavy run at the end, which was a great decision obviously, but an identity was nowhere to be found.
