West Virginia has allowed 5.54 yards per play through two games and a gain of at least 10 yards roughly once every three snaps, according to the report. Those figures quantify the explosive-play problem associated with Zac Alley's concerns about defensive communication and assignment execution.

Rich Rodriguez describes Virginia's defense as experienced, disciplined and usually in the correct position, with few breakdowns producing big gains. This is the opposing coach's scouting assessment before the West Virginia game, not a projected score or confirmation that Virginia has no vulnerabilities.

Virginia uses a slower pace and deliberate pre-snap routines, while the article identifies five touchdown passes among its explosive gains. The slower setup gives West Virginia time to organize its defensive communication; it has not prevented Virginia from generating chunk plays. No new tempo change is reported.
