For the past few weeks, I have spent some of my spare time trying to figure out what went wrong with Virginia football.

Miami blanked Virginia’s already stagnant offense in the second half, torched the Cavaliers’ defense for four touchdowns in the final two quarters and cruised to 52-17 victory at Land Shark Stadium in front of 48,350.

With backup Marc Verica playing the entire way as UVa’s quarterback, the Cavaliers put forth their worst offensive performance of the season and were pounded 52-17 at Land Shark Stadium.

Whether it leads to moving boxes or moving bowl tickets, that potentially tumultuous path starts today against No. 16 Miami (6-2, 3-2 ACC) at noon at Land Shark Stadium, the home of the NFL’s Miami Dolphins.

For the first time since 2006, Jameel Sewell did not have to look over his shoulder.

Unfortunately, Virginia’s newly-installed spread offense did not live up to the label attached during spring practice and training camp.

Virginia’s new spread offense laid an egg large enough to cover the Commonwealth in omelet Saturday night in a mistake-riddled, 26-14 home loss to William & Mary.

A few weeks ago, we penned a column about one of Al Groh’s coaching philosophies concerning the three things that a team must have to enhance its chances of winning: good quarterback play, a solid defense and a reliable kicker.

For now, however, Groh remains noncommittal about the possibility of moving a quarterback to allow a pair of playmakers to be on the field at the same time.

The most frequent question I’ve heard as I have traveled around the state this summer — particularly when I’m home in Central Virginia — has been, “So, who’s going to start at quarterback?”

From all accounts, Marc Verica is the odd man out.

Now, as the sands fall through the hourglass of the careers of both players, Hall and Sewell are both quarterbacks again.

On the heels of a five-win season that included a dismal 3-5 mark in the ACC, the Cavaliers were picked by members of the media to finish fifth in the league’s Coastal Division.

Today, at the annual ACC football kickoff, the media’s preseason predictions will be announced for the 34th straight year with Virginia widely expected to be pegged to finish fifth or sixth in the Coastal Division.

Prior to trotting onto the field for what proved to be one of just two touchdown drives in Saturday’s Spring Football Festival, Virginia quarterback Jameel Sewell huddled with a collection of teammates.
