We'll have more detailed thoughts (and lots of pictures!) from today's Virginia football spring festival at Scott Stadium. But here are three quick things to know from the event, and what it might mean for the fall.

Tempo is the name of the game on offense

I clocked about 30 of the plays Virginia ran in 11-on-11 practice periods, checking the time between snaps. The only times the offense took more than 25 seconds between the end of one play and the snap for the next were during wholesale defensive substitutions or swapping quarterbacks. Other than that, the Hoos were snapping the ball with 15-20 seconds left on the play clock—a pleasant change of pace from a program that often struggled to get plays in on time in years past.
