Virginia football coach Al Groh announced Monday that the Cavaliers will start the season without the services of sophomore lineman Ian-Yates Cunningham.
Cunningham started the last five games of the season at left offensive guard last year as a freshman. He injured his back in the spring, underwent surgery to repair a disk problem in May and may not be able to play at all this season, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch. Groh called Cunningham "P.U.P. right now -- physically unable to perform."
Filling in for Cunningham will likely be Ron Darden. The 6'4", 327-lbs. sophomore started one game at right guard last year for the Cavaliers.
