you need the horses to do that. UVA has had limited top end offensive players. The last great one was Stanwick (and his two brothers went to Hopkins). They aren't at his brother's caliber (at least Wells wasn't and Shack appears to be the same) but they were good players.

UVA has had defensive issues for several years.

Lastly, and I have seen UVA supports gloss over this point, the Yeardley Love murder by George Huguely, the UVA lax player, caused a huge hit to UVA lax. I don't think it is the least bit odd that UVA's program took a huge step back once as the impact of that worked it's way through the program and recruits parents put out their feelings on that. Honestly, I'm shocked Dom wasn't fired because of Love's murder.

Edited to add: don't get me wrong, my alma mater's lax program has played like crap in 5 of the last 6 years.
