Bill Connelly’s 130-Team Preview on the SBNation.com mothership reached UVa this morning and Connelly provides an extensive breakdown of the team and its potential strengths and weaknesses headed into the 2018 campaign.
As Connelly notes, the fact that the 2017 squad even made it to a bowl game was a victory in itself and was accomplished with an explosion in offensive production through the first six games of the season - which ultimately didn’t sustain during the Hoos’ final seven games.
Looking towards 2018, Connelly reviews what the Hoos will need to replace on both sides of the ball and the players that will need to emerge in order to replicate some of the early 2017 success.
