Around Virginia Football

Surfing the interweb, picking out the best UVA stories of the week for your reading pleasure:

• As the DP notes, the defense was OK. Should have been better against a 1-AA opponent. 
• Hootie also chimes in to add that TCU Head Coach Gary Patterson is saying all the right things about a possible Virginia rebound. I think he’s more interested in routing a BCS Conference school on national television, and wants to make sure he gets maximum return on such a win.
• Doug Doughty sings the praises of Steve Greer, perhaps the next stud Cavalier LB. 
• Also in LB news, Mike Phillips over at the RTD notes that Cam Johnson didn’t start, but played a ton. Expect the true sophomore to continue to play more, especially on passing downs to get after the opposing QB.
• For those of you looking for a 2007-style renaissance, Norm Wood at the Daily Press reminds us that team had 19 returning starters, not 11 like the 2009 team.
• Finally, Paul Montana at the Sabre aptly notes that TCU was great last season in TO margin and time of possession. In light of UVA's performance against W&M, that doesn’t bode well for Saturday.
