After a successful past season, in which the Cavaliers made it to the national championships and finished the year ranked 22nd nationally, the team hopes to achieve even more this upcoming season.

Virginia football fans have long awaited the first Saturday in September, and rightly so, as head coach Bronco Mendenhall’s new, streamlined product will finally be on full display against Richmond in his team’s opener at Scott Stadium.
