Cardiac Hoos

The Cardiac HOOS are back, and the frustration is real! After a tough defeat at the hands of Duke, the guys break down what went wrong for Virginia and ask the question every Wahoo fan is thinking: Who deserves the blame — the coaching staff or the quarterback?

We’re diving into the biggest issues from the Duke game, examining the play-calling, execution, and decisions that contributed to the loss. Is it time for a change under center, or do the problems go deeper than the quarterback position?

Then, it’s time to turn the page to Wake Forest. Who should get the start at quarterback when Virginia heads to Winston-Salem on Saturday afternoon? The guys debate the options, what the offense needs to do differently, and what the Hoos must clean up to get back on track.

And finally, we look ahead to the big question: Is an upset in Winston-Salem possible? Can Virginia regroup, make the necessary adjustments, and silence the doubters on the road, or are more tough questions ahead for the Cavaliers?

The Cardiac HOOS are breaking it all down from a Virginia fan’s perspective — no sugarcoating, just honest reactions, plenty of opinions, and all the highs and lows of being a Wahoo!
