Virginia will almost assuredly have more than one selection in the NFL draft this year, which would be the most since 2020.
Now, in an offseason that is bringing about change to the program in many forms, Virginia’s sidelines will have a few new faces— and lose a few familiar ones.
Though this schedule seems to be more challenging than in years past, there are certainly some places where the Cavaliers can pick up some wins.
Winning games in a coach’s first season is hard – only one Virginia coach has achieved a winning season in year one since 1930.
This marks the second departure from Coach Tony Elliott’s initial staff, with offensive line coach Garrett Tujague accepting the same position at North Carolina State in December.
The ACC announced Monday night that the game between Virginia and Virginia Tech — originally scheduled for Saturday — has been canceled.
“As I previously shared, the ACC is a family, and we are all heartbroken,” ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips said.
Virginia fell to No. 15 North Carolina in the South’s Oldest Rivalry Saturday, and now will look to bounce back at home against a Pittsburgh team that lost to the same team just one week prior.
Despite playing one of their most complete games so far under first-year Coach Tony Elliott, the Cavaliers couldn't quite manage to topple the surging Tar Heels.
A loss to Miami has dug Virginia into a hole with only one victory in the ACC, yet perhaps Coach Tony Elliott’s team can catch a spark with No. 17 North Carolina coming to town.
The Cavaliers — having contained the Hurricanes offense throughout — could not capitalize on red-zone opportunities en route to a 14-12 loss.
The Cavaliers have stalled dynasties, spoiled national championship hopes and restored glory to the Virginia football program all in late-night games.
After picking up the first conference win of Coach Tony Elliott’s career, Virginia will try to pick up a second straight win over Miami at Scott Stadium Saturday.
In an ugly game in Atlanta, the Cavaliers bested the Yellow Jackets 16-9 for their first conference win.
With the season’s midpoint around the corner, here are four players with the highest chance of turning NFL scouts’ heads for the Draft in April.
Virginia — who has not tasted victory in a month — will face another solid test against Georgia Tech on the road.
After the first quarter, Virginia was outgained 439 yards to 175 and converted just one third down.
Both squads will be eager to capture their first ACC win of the season Saturday afternoon.
The Cavalier offense struggled once again as the team lost to Duke for the first time since Mike London was coach.
A year after being one of the top scoring teams in the country, the Cavalier offense has been downright dysfunctional during the team’s 2-2 start, averaging 18.2 points per game – 116th in the country.
