[OFISHE8 10]

This was an article on the UVA football board about spring practice. Looks like Cain is getting some reps at fullback this spring. Good luck, Cain...hope you see some playing time this year.

Good luck to the former Richlands player.

I always saw him as a college fullback. I'm glad they're giving him a chance.

He has always been a hard worker at anything he does. I saw him earlier this year and he looks like he has built a lot more muscle and he is still running fast so he should get a lot of playing time in their spring game this saturday. Its really cool to see Cain and Muncey doin good though. It would be cool to see them goin up against each other at Lane Stadium or Scott Stadium like they did at Bulldog Stadium and Ernie Hicks.

I'm glad to see that he is doing well. It has been a while since i have talked to him. He has worked hard to get where he is and deserves every bit of it so good luck!!!!

Groh gives the men here a fightin' chance to prove themselves, and if they show heart and grit, they do get a chance to play.

However, I do strongly question how much he'll get to play. He has Snelling, Peerman, and Pearman (Alvin's younger brother) ahead of him on the depth charts, and a fourth-string back doesn't see the field too often. I was at the spring game here, and I did not hear his name nor number called. Still, he'll probably have to wait his turn behind three fair backs.

The savin' grace in all this might be that this year is not lookin' like UVA's finest. Quarterback questions, losin' three players (Brooks and Hamilton the two big names), and a new offensive and defensive line don't bode well for UVA. Ringstaff very well may get his share of reps this season as Groh experiments with different packages. I wish him the best in everythin' he does: may he stay healthy, and God willin', get a shot to get out there and show everyone what he's got.

Well i went to the game as well and you must have been wathching a completely different game than i did. Cain started at fullback on the white team. He played a majority of the game and was very impressive. He had two cathces, one over 10 yards. As for Snelling, and Peerman. They are runningbacks and not fullbacks. ANd the other Pearman (Alvin's brother) has never taken a rep at runningback. He is the starting wide-receiver. I have talked to some people that have spoken with Cain and it looks like it is going to be between him and one other fullback for the starting spot. Good luck Cain. Make southwest Virginia proud.

i don't mean nothing by this, but if he's the second string fullback, he's still not going to get alot of reps i don't think, fullbacks are hardly used anymore in college

[BigD4VT 11]

But doesn't UVA still use a FB quite a bit in that West Coast offense?

[EH31 2,533]

to tell you the truth, i have no idea. i've probobly only seen 3 or 4 UVA games in the past few years. i was just basing it on how most college offense's run.

[lee 10]

Thats what I thought but I didnt want to post something that was wrong and embarrase my self lol.

[BigD4VT 11]

I'm sure they still use the fullback. Groh pretty much runs an NFL system.

[EH31 2,533]

oh ok.. how much size has he gained since high school? if i remember right he must've been around 210?

[BigD4VT 11]

I haven't heard. Maybe someone else knows?

[RHS20 10]

He's number two on the depth chart at FB. Jason Snelling is a senior and Cain is a RS Freshamn so he could be see a lot of playing time in a year or two or maybe even this year if Snelling gets hurt. But Uva has a new offensive coordinator in Mike Groh that will use the FB for a lot more receiving purposes than what last years offensive coordinator Ron Prince did. I think Cain caught two balls at the orange and blue game and Snelling caught three of four im not for sure.He'll do fine though.
