    IMO, Boobs is probably good enough to QB them to a victory over a VA-less EWU and Georgia State. The smart money is on a loss at East Lansing. Utah at least is at Autzen, but it will be tough. Then the schedule doesn't really heat up again until the middle to end of October. So the question becomes can VA get up to speed by then?

    This. They have time to get Adams acclimated before East Lansing. It sure helps having Royce Freeman and a bunch of good WR's too. All Lockie will have to do is hand the ball to Freeman/Tyner, throw a couple bubble screens, and hit play action passes with WR's running free.
    Getting a QB "acclimated" to beat MSU on the road likely takes more than 3 weeks.
    It's a tough game no matter what. Adams missing a week of practice isn't going to make a difference.
    When he missed all of spring, summer PRPs, and half of fall camp I think it matters.

    If Lockie or any other QB on their roster was good, they wouldn't bother with Vernon's bullshit.

    Sophisticated analysis.

    I think I'll trust the coach who is 24-4 on this over a Hitler-mustached avatar.
    You're better than that. Dude is 0-0 without Mariota.
    Wooshed!

    Missing even the first three practices of fall camp is a big deal. Those are the heavy install days, it's not like he is just missing practice. He is missing: Film review with his position coach, film with his OC, film with the team, training/lifting, nutrition and maintenance of his cramps.

    Throw that on to missing spring ball, summer workouts, more film study, sitting in meetings, learning how to study film with his new coaches. It is a big deal.

    If he comes in a week late or even three days late he has missed a HUGE amount of work. Working with WR's on the side is fine, but it is no where near the same as what he could be doing if he was in school after or before spring ball.

    It's less that and more that the playoff committee will forgive an early loss to MSU under Lockie if the team makes amends by curb stomping USC, Stanford and the CCG opponent under VA in November. Is that what will happen? Right now, it's LIPO.

    If Oregon is to win the Pac-12, it will be because of their skill guys on O and front 7 on D.

    Ohio State went 12-1 though. Oregon isn't doing that this year.

    Judging by how well he does on his academis, VA will have a hard time cramming the UO playbook in time for this season.
