CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- It has been a long time since Virginia won a football game on the road, but their 16th consecutive loss away from home left coach Bronco Mendenhall and his players feeling surprisingly upbeat.The difference in the latest loss was the way his team carried itself on the field, and on the sideline.Its a complete 180, quarterback Kurt Benkert said, comparing the teams demeanor in a 44-26 loss to the No. 22 Oregon Ducks to how the Cavaliers reacted after falling behind in their season-opening 37-20 loss to Richmond. The Richmond game, everyone was sad on the sideline. We werent expecting to lose or any of that and once it started getting really bad, it was like there had been a funeral or something.The Cavaliers trailed Oregon 30-6 at halftime, but never hung their heads or disengaged from the game. On the sideline, they cheered every good play, and offered reassurance to teammates after the Ducks hit a big play. They hope that same resilience this week at Connecticut (1-1) will help them end a road losing streak that dates back to victory at North Carolina State on Nov. 3, 2012.There were players after that game that said in their entire time at UVA theyve never felt like theyve felt after that game, Mendenhall said. That means in terms of confidence, enthusiasm, optimism, and having fun.Its the having fun part that seemed to have the greatest impact on the players.Its been absent, senior right tackle Eric Smith said. Seeing something thats being accomplished thats never been done before, its almost like, `This is an amazing feeling. When guys are out there smiling, were behind a touchdown or two or three touchdowns and were actually smiling, knowing that we feel a change within ourselves that has never occurred before.So it was just a thrill to know that weve accomplished something and we know were capable of doing much more.Mendenhall repeatedly has said that the attitude change he and his staff are trying instill into a program that hasnt had a winning season since 2011 is the first piece in his rebuilding plan, and one that much of the rest of his program will need to build off of to produce the winning he has promised.The team still has a mountain to climb, he said, but he saw much improvement against Oregon.Being completely present in each moment and flying around as hard as you can with guys that you care about and theyre cheering you from the side, eventually that will become a formidable thing when the execution and consistency and position mastery all then is woven within that, he said Monday. And they see that, and they see its sequential. So I think were gaining momentum, at least from a belief standpoint.Sophomore linebacker Chris Peace said the enthusiasm was infectious, and started in practice.One of the major things I noticed that was a big difference was the effort we played with. Since Ive been here, rarely have I ever seen us finish the game as hard as we did from beginning of the game all the way to the end, he said. The second thing was the sideline. That was the most enthusiastic Ive seen our sideline since Ive been here. It started off with practice. ... The sideline was a big factor this week.
