Bronco know's Narduzzi's MO and that's to run the FB right?.

And based on last year's passing performance, I would expect UVA to load up and stop the run.

I don't expect our offense to come out and try and establish the run at least early on.

I remember when Whipple beat us while at the U on a Thursday night - maybe around 2010.

I was at that game remember seeing Miami go up and down the field against us.

After the 1st couple of drives by them, I remember leaning over to my brother and Mrs. NC Panther and said: "They're going to dink and dunk us all over the field all night".

Which they did.

That's the approach I expect to see from Whipple this Saturday.

Short conservative safe passes - gain a few 1st downs while giving our offense time to settle down but move the chains.

The Hoos are going to tempt us to beat them through the air and that's exactly what I expect to happen especially early.

1st team that scores will have a real advantage throughout the game.

Expect to see the dink and dunk approach early and often.
