The 11 a.m. kickoff Saturday may have been the earliest Virginia has played since Coach Bronco Mendenhall came to Charlottesville, but the Cavaliers (2-0, 0-0 ACC) certainly looked ready to play, getting off to a quick start before holding on to win against Illinois.

After a 43-0 drubbing of William & Mary last Saturday, Virginia moves on to face Big Ten foe Illinois. The Cavaliers (1-0, 0-0 ACC) may be a bit confused — as is the rest of the college football world — as to what to make of the Illini (1-1, 1-0 Big Ten).

While the 2020-2021 season was tumultuous for every Virginia sports team, the volleyball squad had perhaps the hardest time of all.
