Michael Dyer Questionable for Louisville

+

RB Michael Dyer is questionable to play this weekend against UVA, as his thigh remains sore from an earlier injury.

It's deja vu for UVA fans - Dyer transferred from Auburn, where he was expected to play against the Hoos in the Chick-Fil-A bowl, but was suspended for a violation of team rules. Looks like we may dodge him yet again.

Brian Hamilton of Sports Illustrated listed the top 20 guards in all of college hoops, and Malcolm Brogdon made the cut.

4 guards were from the ACC...and 4 were from either Kentucky or Wichita State.

SI recognized that counting stats doesn't do UVA players justice. (Here's a quote, and the full article is linked above):

"Brogdon might not blow up stat monitors this year, either, but he’ll be indispensable at both ends of the floor for a program positioned for another run"

Phil Steele Picks UVA over Louisville ($)

ESPN Insider Phil Steele picks a couple key upsets for the week, including a 24-23 Cavalier victory over the Cardinals this Saturday. "The two teams are pretty tight talent-wise, and remember that Virginia gave the Bruins all they could handle in the opener. If not for three UCLA defensive touchdowns, the Cavaliers might have pulled the upset."

ESPN: Louisville on Upset Watch

+

Virginia takes on the Louisville Cardinals this weekend, and ESPN has Louisville on upset watch! (Okay...they put most of the ACC on this list...but it's nice to see us there).

The full post is linked above; on the UVA game, Andrea Adelson writes,

"The Cardinals hit the road for the first time this season to face a much-improved Virginia team boasting an opportunistic defense that is tied for first in the ACC with nine takeaways and second in the league with nine sacks. While Virginia remains unsettled on offense, the improvement alone on defense should make this one more challenging than it appeared before the season began."
