Virginia’s new spread offense could get more receivers on the field.

One of the key elements that help a spread offense become effective is a corps of wide receivers that can make something happen after the catch, or as Gregg Brandon said last December, “turn six yards into 60.”

The night Jared Green learned that Virginia had hired the innovative Gregg Brandon as its new offensive coordinator, he couldn’t contain his excitement.

Virginia coach Al Groh is not ready to thrust Marc Verica’s name into the race for the Heisman Trophy.

In addition to making his road debut, Verica also earned his first starting assignment.
