Arkansas has way to much speed for Virginia. There is speed everywhere on this team. Fast in all phases. Jordan Anthony"s 80yd punt return left burn marks in the field. Anthony Colandrea continues to throw pick after pick. Chris Tyree showed up for the Cavs tonight. He scorched the Razorbacks for 136 and a TD.
Virginia needs to get it together for next block. With a bye week and Texas A&M looming looking like 0-3 is more of a reality than a possibility.
