Well that was quick. We’re already three weeks into the NFL season! Here’s a breakdown of how UVA’s football alumni fared last weekend.
The major contributors:
Branden Albert, Miami Dolphins – Albert is the starting LT for an offense that put up 30 points and over 400 yards in a Week 3 win against Cleveland. Ryan Tannehill was sacked just once, despite facing some decent pressure. The Phins didn’t run the ball all that well, but with Arian Foster out, the offense was focused on the pass. They did average 4.6 yards per carry.
Ahmad Brooks, San Francisco 49ers – For the 2nd week in a row, San Francisco’s defense was unable to stop the opposing offense.
