Virginia senior safety Joey Blount was named a semifinalist for the 2020 William V. Campbell Trophy Thursday by the National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame.

Virginia co-defensive coordinator Nick Howell remembers that night of the ACC Championship well, and what a juggernaut Clemson offense he had to prepare his unit to face. Now, he’s got to do it again.

If you liked the fast pace of Virginia’s offense against Duke in last Saturday’s opener, well, you ain’t seen nothing yet. That’s what Cavalier offensive coordinator Robert Anae said following practice on Wednesday morning about running a play every 25 seconds.

You might have noticed during Saturday night’s Virginia win over Duke that senior wide receiver Terrell Jana was without his name printed across the back of his jersey. It wasn’t a mistake.

While Clemson coach Dabo Swinney is certainly aware of the 2020 version of Virginia football, he can’t help but think back to last year’s ACC Championship game against the Cavaliers in Charlotte

While the Cavaliers dropped a lopsided contest to the Tigers in last December’s ACC Championship game, Virginia never stopped fighting. Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables certainly noticed that in Charlotte and noticed it again while watching the game tape of UVA’s win over Duke.

When Bronco Mendenhall first saw Virginia’s schedule for this season, he immediately recognized it as the most challenging schedule of his coaching career.

Virginia wide receiver Lavel Davis Jr. and linebacker Zane Zandier have both earned Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Week honors for games played through Sept. 27.

Here are ten things we learned about Virginia’s football team after its 38-20 season-opening win over Duke:

It didn’t take long for Virginia’s highly touted defense to be tested in Saturday’s season-opening win over Duke.

Davis and quarterback Brennan Armstrong hooked up on a pair of fourth-quarter drives to blow the game open as UVA downed Duke, 38-20.

Seemed all the pressure in the world was on Brennan Armstrong’s ample shoulder pads. While he had played and delivered as a backup to Bryce Perkins the past two years, it was now his show.

While veteran Virginia free safety Joey Blount spent some time in the medical tent after he hit the turf, holding his left knee late in Virginia’s 38-20 win over Duke Saturday night, it appeared after the game that he is OK.

After having to wait a few weeks, Virginia finally opened the 2020 season with a roller-coaster victory against Duke, 38-20, at a mostly empty Scott Stadium Saturday.

Football season is finally upon us in Charlottesville, as the 2020 campaign kicks off Saturday afternoon against ACC rival Duke (4 p.m., ACC Network). The Cavaliers look to make it six straight victories over the Blue Devils (0-2, 0-2 ACC), who are visiting Scott Stadium for the second year in a row, only this time, things will look much different in many ways. After multiple game postponements and cancellations, Virginia head coach Bronco Mendenhall and his staff finally have an opponent in place, and there is actual football to be played against another team. The two schools met with ACC […]

With as many as 17 players returning with at least one start on their resume, this Virginia defense could be really nasty.

Virginia has a secret weapon that I don’t think is going to remain a secret for long. When Tony Poljan lines up at the tight end spot against Duke on Saturday afternoon, he’s going to immediately draw attention from his physical appearance alone.

For those who followed Micah Kiser’s career at the University of Virginia and saw how he was one of the ACC’s top tacklers each season, it came as no surprise that the former Cavalier linebacker was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week on Wednesday.

Injury has struck Duke’s secondary, as the Blue Devils announced they have lost two starting cornerbacks indefinitely just days before traveling to Charlottesville to open Virginia’s season.

After learning the ropes the past two seasons from a couple of guys who are now playing on Sundays, Virginia junior receiver Billy Kemp IV is getting his chance to shine.
