Virginia’s ground game came alive in dominating fashion at Coastal Carolina Saturday, as the Cavaliers rushed for their highest total in nearly 26 years en route to a 43-24 road win.

“Overall, they’re giving us a chance, but in fairness to them, man, it’s been a chess match trying to figure out the moving parts,” Coach Tony Elliott said this week.

Virginia’s passing game could flourish this weekend at Coastal Carolina if the Cavaliers’ receivers can beat man coverage, and if quarterback Anthony Colandrea is more accurate.

Against Maryland, the Cavaliers had four opportunities in the Red Zone and scored only one TD, settling for field goals twice.

Virginia boasts two of the top safeties in the ACC in home-grown Jonas Sanker and Antonio Clary.

Tony Elliott has coached some pretty good quarterbacks during his time at Clemson, and he’s sharing some of that knowledge in attempting to groom Virginia sophomore Anthony Colandrea into that winning mold.

Scattershooting around the ACC, while wondering if top basketball recruit Nate Ament postponing his visit to Virginia over the weekend was a good, bad or ugly thing.

Virginia has added its first commitment to its recruiting class of 2026 in quarterback Ely Hamrick of AC Reynolds High School in Asheville, N.C.

Tony Elliott’s big point of emphasis has been to win the “middle eight” of games, the last four minutes of the first half and the first four minutes of the second half.

Trailing by six at halftime, Maryland controlled the clock in the second half of Saturday night’s contest in Charlottesville, outscoring Virginia 20-0 after the break en route to a 27-13 win.

It has been a long time since Scott Stadium saw a sellout crowd, but that’s what Tony Elliott is hoping for tonight when his 2-0 Cavaliers host 1-1 Maryland.

Virginia’s football team no doubt remembers the humiliation it endured in last year’s visit to College Park in a lopsided 42-14 defeat.

Malachi Fields, a product of Charlottesville’s Monticello High School program, ranks among the nation’s top pass receivers after two weeks of college football.

If only Alvin Pearman had known how close he was to breaking one of Virginia’s longest-standing records when he came out of the Duke game during the 2004 season.

One of the biggest questions from Virginia’s fan base after the Cavaliers’ 2-0 start is ‘Where’s Chris Tyree?’

Middle linebacker Kam Robinson returned to practice on Tuesday, but was limited in what he could do after leaving last Saturday night’s game with what Tony Elliott described as a knee sprain.

When Virginia middle linebacker Kam Robinson went down with an injury early in the second quarter at Wake Forest, it was time for junior backup Trey McDonald to step up his game.

As good as Anthony Colandrea was, he couldn’t have made the comeback without all the weapons at his disposal.

Tony Elliott came to Winston-Salem hoping to use Saturday night’s game against Wake Forest as a measuring stick. Little did he know it would be decided by inches and one point.
