First, I don’t grade coaching and I rarely comment on coaching because it is impossible due to the limitation of not knowing the coverage, the pressure packages, the offensive play call, etc. But I can ascertain certain things by observing and I found the complete breakdown in terms of game management at the end of the first half by the coaching staff of Virginia’s 48-40 win over Georgia Tech baffling.

I don't think Greg's analysis makes enough of our pitiful botching of not one, not two, but THREE onside kick receiving situations. Two of them enabled GT to get back in the game and gave them a chance to salvage a tie and OT with a Hail Mary. Inexcusable - further support for Greg's failing grade for coaching. Don't remember the third botched onside kick situation? On their first onside kick formation, Tech kicked long instead. UVA had no one deep. Our "returner" scrambled back and fell on the ball rather than attempting a return. We ended up with possession on the five yard line, a net loss in field position of at least thirty yards. Do they not allow onside kicks in the state of Utah?

So should Lavel Davis try to come back this year? How is his recovery coming?
