Enjoy a cold one on us—you earned it! (Editor’s note: For those who don’t read the message boards, Zima is considered the beverage of choice for UVA fans.)

Now back to the game that mattered.  Didn’t that feel like a blast from the past? The offensive line bullied the Purdue front in the run game. Joey Slye went 3-4 on his field goal attempts, and the only miss was a 53-yarder. Adonis Alexander and Sean Huelskamp were both questioned for their experience and talent respectively, though they played well and came away with each of Tech’s interceptions. There’s always room for improvement—Stroman returning punts comes to mind—but the good far outweighed the bad. Two vintage Beamerball plays, the sack/fumble and the block/fumble for touchdowns, deserve some attention.
