Hurricane Injury Report for the Virginia Game

The Canes released their injury report for the upcoming game against Virginia. The majority of it was no surprise, but it did hold one extremely unfortunate bit of news. Freshman WR Robert Lockhart, who only saw action in 2 games totaling about 10 snaps, is listed as being done for the year. Lockhart had been working extremely hard to earn his playing time, and this injury (whatever it is) is a heart breaker.This all but locks Herb Waters into that "which freshman will play" roll.

Outside of that, everything else was expected. Safety Deon Bush is officially out for the game, and linebacker/man beast Denzel Perryman is listed as doubtful. At this point, don't expect Perryman to start the game, and as far as playing time, it will likely be as needed. Of course, if he wakes up on game day and is ready to go, they'll play him no question.

Streaking the Lawn's Breakdown of the Hurricanes

TikiUVA over at Streaking The Lawn has put together a comprehensive, and very good, preview of our Canes ahead of their game. It's definitely worth the read.

The Canes are 5-4 overall, but 4-2 in the ACC and currently lead the Coastal division. They are coached by former Virginia assistant Al Golden. Miami is coming off a Thursday night blowout win over the Hokies. That means they've gotten an extra couple of days rest before coming to Charlottesville.

The Hoos are 4-4 against the Canes since Miami joined the ACC. That includes 2-2 at home. The Hoos have won the past 2 contests, including a 28-21 win last year over the Canes on a Thursday night.

Perryman/Bush Status Updated

On Wednesday, the chances of safety Deon Bush and linebacker Denzel Perryman playing in Saturday's game against Virginia got a bit more clear, and it wasn't great news:

#UM #Canes S Deon Bush (shoulder)is out for UVA, Golden just told us.

— Susan Miller Degnan (@smillerdegnan) November 7, 2012

Not having Bush back there is a fairly large hit. I had said on Twitter that Vaughn Telemaque would start, but he is apparently a bit banged up as well. Right now I would lean towards Kacy Rogers to start in his place.

The news on Perryman was less harsh, but still not promising:

#Canes LB Perryman leaning more toward "doubtful" status than probable, Golden just said.

— Susan Miller Degnan (@smillerdegnan) November 7, 2012

I'm out on a limb, but I expect Perryman to play. however, if game time rolls around, and he is still fighting the injury, it may be better to let him sit. We will certainly need him down the road.

Dan E. Dangerously Delivers Again

Oh yes, he's back, whether he wants to be or not. Mainly because of this:

But also because of this:

Sims and Rocco are the 2 Headed Monster at QB for Virginia. Each has thrown over 1,000 yards for a total of 2,400 yards passing. Neither one of them are threats to run the ball. Rocco only has 72 yards on 20 attempts, and Sims only has 10 yards on 29 attempts.

Rocco was the starter last year and he was efficient enough to beat us, going 11/20 for 226 yards and a couple of TD's. This year he's completing passes at a rate of 58.2%. He's got 8 TD's and 8 picks, 3 of those picks came in the Maryland game alone.

Sims is a Virginia native who transferred from Alabama because he couldn't beat out A.J. McCarron for the job. Sims isn't much better of a passer, completing 55.8% of his passes. Like Rocco, he's thrown 8 TD's this year as well, but only 4 picks.
