ACC Conference - Virginia Cavaliers PreviewSince Al Groh took over as Head Coach at his Alma Mater half a decade ago, the Virginia Cavaliers have put up winning seasons and gone to a bowl four straight seasons. That streak looks to be coming to a halt this season because many of his top players are now in the NFL, or were booted from the program due to school violations. He also lost some assistants so there's a major re-tooling job ahead of him and his new staff this year. The team returns six on both sides of the ball, 12 overall, but has some gaping holes unfilled, the O will now be led by Sr. Christian Olsen. He's got a solid ground game in behind him and a deep WR corps, but the O-Line is very young and we will see whether the run and pass game will be able to succeed.Check out Bodog and start winning NOW!

Defensively, what was once the strength of the defense is now an obvious weakness. Both of their inside LB's Parham and Brooks left the team ahead of schedule, and that is not too good for the Cavs 3-4 formation. There are some decent players in the front seven, but the secondary is the strongest unit and should overachieve to compensate. It will still be a good unit, but will go through some growing pains. They also fall short in the kicking position as both of their star kickers are gone, and their stats will suffer because of it. This is a rebuilding campaign for Groh and his staff, and will test his recruiting from past seasons. Look for them to be thrown around more than usual, but come back a more experienced and hungry team in the following year. --- by Bones McCoy at 1800-sports.com on October 25, 2006
