In many ways it was a decade to forget.During a ten-year span, we saw the end of one era of unparalleled success in George Welsh as well as the end of an era full of unsatisfactory mediocrity in Al Groh.While the product on the field for Virginia fans failed to produce the wins we desperately craved, it did produce some high quality talent.Indeed, many of the best players of this decade are currently starting or playing for NFL teams.Some of these names have gone on for even more success, while others have faded into obscurity.Nevertheless, let's take a moment to shine a light on all the players who helped define the Cavaliers this decade.Hope you enjoy it! No brainer on the quarterback for the Cavaliers. Schaub was not only the best Virginia quarterback of this decade, but he has made the case for being perhaps the best All-Time.During his four years at Virginia, Schaub broke 22 school records and finished with a completion percentage of 67 percent.Schaub was the 2003 ACC Offensive Player of the Year, beating out N.C. State signal-caller Philip Rivers.However, what makes his staggering numbers even more impressive is the fact that he had to fight for his job three out of his four seasons at Virginia.Schaub appeared destined towards mediocrity in his first two seasons.His inability to avoid the rush made him appear like a statue out on the field.Bryson Spinner and Marques Hagans, two mobile options gave Schaub stiff competition for the starting spout but it was the tutelage of Bill Musgrave that turned things around for Schaub at Virginia.Under Musgrave's watch, Schaub became a force to be reckoned with.With over 7,500 yards and 56 touchdowns to his credit, Schaub will be consistently mentioned with some of the best quarterbacks in school history.. Lundy was a touchdown machine while at the University of Virginia.Lundy's 52 touchdowns is more than any other running back in ACC history and his over 3,500 rushing yards make him fourth best in school history.Considering the company around him like Tiki Barber, Thomas Jones and "Bullet" Bill Dudley, it's little wonder that Lundy deserves this spot.Lundy's breakout performance came in the 2002 Continental Tire Bowl where the freshman scored four touchdowns, two rushing and two receiving.He single-handedly gave the West Virginia defense nightmares and helped represent the high watermark of the Al Groh era.Lundy never reached that same level of acclaim after his bowl game performance but consistently provided the Virginia offense with that scoring punch every season he donned the orange and blue.. provided a safety blanket for freshman quarterback Jameel Sewell in the otherwise forgettable 2006 season.Snelling finished his career with an impressive 5.3 yards per carry, a mark that puts him near the top of the school record books.He also provided the most rushing yards by a fullback in the ACC, along with solid blocking that was needed to give the new quarterback time to find receivers.Snelling helped provide a model of what the fullback could be in the Virginia offense and, in many ways, his departure from the program helped begin the downward spiral of offensive futility Virginia fans came to know later on.. Since his time at Virginia, the wide receiver has floated from NFL team to NFL team, unable to stick with a team.However, he can fondly look back at his time in Charlottesville and the accolades he achieved..
