Why can't we just beat the teams we are supposed to beat.

It's a long season, and teams change. UVA is obviously hot right now and they may well run the table and win the division, ACC, and the Orange bowl.

If they were to do that would this game look like a game we "should" have won?
 
Because NOBODY in college football always beats the teams they are "supposed" to beat.

Take the team with the most talent in the land, year in and year out, and they still lose to a team they are supposed to beat on average about once a year.

The only way to escape this is to be so bad you are not supposed to beat anyone.

Techbert,
notes the same fonts who say we should always beat the teams we are supposed to beat are the same ones who they we should "steal" 1 or 2 every year.

UVA posed major matchup problems for us and they were pretty obvious before the game even started. Calling it a game "we were supposed to win" is ignorant, at best.

Their offense is built perfectly to nullify the strengths of our D and attack the weaknesses. Their defense had some help from us with the fumbles but they also adjusted to the things we were doing well in the first 2 drives and we couldn't make the proper counter adjustments.

If anything, we've "beat the teams we're supposed to beat" better this season than we have since GO'L walked the sidelines.

ContactBuzz summed it up nicely.
 
Here's another answer:

Most people would say the fumbles cost us the game...This from the AJC:

"In his first season at Navy, in 2002, the Midshipmen fumbled the ball 38 times, losing 25 of them. Over the next two seasons, though, Navy cut its fumbles to 29 and then 19 as the team improved its record from 2-10 in 2002 to 8-5 in 2003 and 10-2 in 2004."

We're going to lose some this year because of fumbles. So far I'd say VT & UVA losses are a direct result.
 
what is the sam hill makes you think we were superior and supposed to win this game? the point spread? We are talking about 18 to 20 year old kids. Virtually every game could go either way. The exception (for this week) , FSU, cause we are gonna kick their ARSE


WHOOOOO !
