    Cavalier attitudes

    Some items from coach Randy Edsall's meeting with the media Tuesday morning:


    -- KR/RB Jordan Todman (shoulder) might _ just might _ play against Virginia.

    “He practiced on Sunday. He’s practicing today. He’ll practice all week,” Edsall said. “We’ll see how he does.”

    That's usually Edsall-speak for "no" but you never know.


    -- Both DE Lindsey Witten (knee) and RB Andre Dixon (ankle) aren't completely healthy, either.

    “It’s all depending on how they feel and what they can do,” Edsall said. “They’re going to try to go and if they can go, they’ll play.”


    -- Edsall was asked plenty about play calling and the seemingly conservative nature. Plenty about this in Wednesday's paper but you can probably guess what he said.

    He also asked people (media and fans, I presume) to give offensive coordinator Rob Ambrose a break.

    “Everything runs through me. ... Put the blame on me. I’m the head coach," Edsall said. "The buck stops right here.

    "Take the shots at me."


    -- CB Darius Butler is a first-time father. His daughter Maya was born Saturday before the Huskies took the field. "I had no idea (before the game)," Butler said.

    Mother and child are doing well.


    -- Virginia RB Torrey Mack, a freshman from Stratford, likely won't play this year (or even make the trip to East Hartford Saturday, it seems) but Cavs coach Al Groh has already been impressed by back.

    "We really like him," Groh said. "He's tough, he's got vision, he's got all the skills."
